I guess a better way to say it is 'Why identify yourself by your sexuality?' Why label yourselves?

That being said, I'm not gay, but it's totally cool with me if anyone else is. We've all got our preferences.
Not all queers are like that. Also, I can understand that mentality a lot. Whereas in North America and other regions, queers rights have made a lot of progress, there is still a long way to go. A handful of states in the USA have legalized gay marriage. Canada's own Prime Minister has made attempts to revoke or modify gay marriages. Heck, even older equality movements, such as racial and women movements, have yet to achieve perfect equality and might never.

Also, simply because you identify as gay or queer does not mean you do not identify as other things too. We all identify at some point as something, though none of those labels will tell the whole truth of who you are.
