Take a Memo:

I don't think anyone is claiming that labels are always completely accurate, or that one person can know the inner thoughts of another.
Do you have this issue with labels about other aspects of a person, or only sexuality?
I'm not big on labels in general because I think labels often denote stereotypes. If people wish to apply their own label, that's fine... I don't have an issue. I think my issue is with other people assuming things and applying labels... that seems bigoted and prejudiced to me.
If a friend said about a gay guy, "oh that guy is really cute!" I would say, "he's gay."
How do you know if someone is gay? Did they tell you they sexually desire same gender exclusively, or did you presume they are gay based on something you saw or something they did or said? And... can a guy not be really cute AND gay at the same time? What if he is not really gay but bisexual? How do you know what that person's sexual desires really are?
Because they are GAY. Duh.
So you don't want to answer my questions?
