I don't like all the labels because I'm afraid(and pretty sure) that people will label themselves because of a certain feeling/attraction they have (or had) and eventually doing that will MAKE them convinced that they ARE that label. Doing this will, I believe remove the idea being who you are is (for a big part)a choice.
It's a bit the same with personalities tests. You get a result and your "personality" is displayed. But this personality doesn't define who you are always going to be. It is generated out of the choices you have made in the test. Of course we definitely do have a personality, but we need to be careful because if we have a bad personality this is not something we can't change, it's a choice and we with our choices greatly affect our personality and can change. That's the danger with these labels. You start to think you ARE the label and there's nothing you can do about it.
Of course outside influences out of your power(such as education, etc.) do have an impact on how easy or difficult a choice is. But just because you are easier tempted to do something shouldn't control who you are, or who you shouldn't be. Don't forget that we're all "born" with a bad nature in some way, and thats why children NEED to be educated. But no education is flawless(and some are just plain bad), and so there'll always be things we'll have to work out ourselves. We must be careful to then not define our flaws as normal and avoid changing.
And if you would like to change, I know sometimes things seems so hard it's as if it were impossible. But I being a Christian know that with God all things are possible. And I know that out of personal experience as well. God bless you all and thanks for reading.
labels are important. having a label helps me identify myself. i don't like loose terms, i like my labels.
can they be banned for being bigoted and homophobic now.
