Why does it matter so much to others if you are straight, gay, lesbian, bi, nonbinary etc (yes, I know there are several others, but I gave up a while ago keeping up with all the variations). If you are not harming anyone or anything and are not pushing your lifestyle on someone else, THEN WHO CARES. I've seen so many posts saying "does this make me gay or bi" Honestly, who says sexuality is linear? If you like it and it's not hurting anyone then go for it. You only have one life.
Now I have to admit I do have an issue when you identify as an animal or alien or something like that.

So I’m in the LGBTQIA+ and so I agree- it harms no one… but I want to add for clarity that being gay isn’t a lifestyle…

We were discussing on my break today how next month is pride month and i asked them (two hella gay guys, "im bi but in a hetero relationship, so is next month still my month too?" And one guy said no cuz im married with a kid and pregnant lol

People ask because they are trying to figure out who they are

I agree people ask to have a better understanding of themselves

Internalized homophobia.

What said. But also, you actually made me think of something that kind of goes along with what Zainab said. Maybe people truly don’t know how or where they fit in because there are so many identifications? And they feel the need to fit into that exact box. I’m sure it’s extremely confusing, especially for young people.
