American Sexual Repression (part 1)

Okay so I'm watching the celeb gossip news and they did a feature on Raven Simone and they didn't talk about the work she was doing, they didn't talk about how she is or what led to her success they just ended up talking about her having a relationship with a woman. Now she answered the questions with something I really clicked with and that was "I don't want to be labeled as 'gay' I want to be labeled as a human who likes humans. " that's basically all that it should be instead of magnifying the fact that her lover isn't a man. And the whole thing that bugged was that other entertainment people were like "oh she didn't officially come out." But it's like no body has to tell anyone their business if they don't want to and she is a very private individual so what did you expect.  People having to identify themselves only ends up creating division and then makes people only looked at by their orientation.  The only thing that truly matters is if that person is OK with themselves and they are honest with their lover. Everyone goes through a journey of sexual self discovery no matter the orientation.  I prefer a certain type of person. Most women have some kind of criteria some men as well. It's all about what you like it's not about the world. If we just backed off of the whole sexuality of the whole thing we'd be much happier. I want to be able to live without labels because labels don't last. Someone who labels themselves as straight for many years can come out and turn out to be gay someone who labels themselves as gay for many years might be straight and sometimes someone can label themselves as asexual and then become romantically or sensually involved with a man/woman.  I don't care if someone has a FrickFricken alligator toe between their legs people are too worked up about what to call themselves or other people they just end up making it a big ol' mess.
