I personally do not identify with any of the above........

why should I put myself in a category?!?

Technically speaking, I would be a queer identified individual... but my reasonings on not choosing a catagory is as simple as this: why should it matter??? Really...

I once spoke about this with a Lesbian female who said to me that I should choose because it was "empowering". Yet if you think of it, not choosing to be a specific catagory IS empowering!

No it does not mean that I am in "denial" or "questioning" or "exploring" my identity (although I must say I keep it hidden from my family because of their homophobia, which I do no want to deal with at the moment....). SO WHAT.... So what I choose not to choose. I still am involved and accepting of the LGBTQ community.

I often think that society and people for that matter get tied up on identifing and thus determining how they should act or what is expected of them....

THE BOTTOM LINE- JUST BE YOU! Be an individual. "Do you". Nothing and no one should limit or predict who you will be or become but rather be witness of what you, yourself, choose to do and accomplish... find what makes you happy.

And I am happy with myself, of being just a sexual human, who is capable of loving and enjoying just being and being loved and enjoyed...
