    Has anyone else just said "fuck it" to their confusing sexuality, and labelled themselves queer, or something that feels wholly inadequate?

    Yes.

    I considered myself unlabeled for the longest time because I didn't really understand my sexuality, and felt like I didn't have enough experience to know for sure one way or the other.

    I've been privileged to know from early on that I'm simply attracted to males.

    May seem odd, but though I identify as 'gay' would say I have more-or-less a "fuck it" attitude since I certainly wouldn't classify as the 'Kinsey 6' sort for various reason. Reasoning is that if it ever needed updating, then there won't be any issues in doing so but for the time being it fits well enough. :lol:

    Definitely. Sometimes I think we'd all be better off without all the labels, cliques, movements, and whatnot. We know more about how the world works today, but it almost seems like we have this obsessive need to break everything down to its bare components, and that can get tiring.

    Yes. I think that may be how many of us get to Queer! LOL

    I've been tempted to, I use queer about half the time, usually when I don't feel like explaining what a pansexual genderqueer is.

    I disagree if it wasn't for labels the lgbt wouldn't be where it is today of acceptance .
    I say if you don't want to use one then don't but don't suggest everyone shouldn't be using one . I like labels it's pretty much explains my preferences and what I like , I know it's not for everyone but I like that I can tell people I'm a lesbian and they get what it means .

    Yes. I get incredibly obsessive about my sexuality (among other things) and usually end up spending too much time thinking about it. My orientation doesn't change, but how I view my sexuality does. A label lets me move on with my life (at least for a day or two).

    Well, sort of. I prefer men so I've told some people I'm gay but I've kinda struggled with my attraction to women and how that fits in. Because honestly, I could live my life happily never being with a woman and die happy but I don't see myself as 100% gay but not attracted enough to women to consider myself bi. Actually, funnily enough, none of my friends were shocked when I came out as gay to them.

    So I guess I'd consider myself gray-gay or queer.

    I said "fuck it" and labeled myself a lesbian because I can love every aspect of a woman.. But yet oddly I'll have very rarely a moment were I'm attracted to a males body.. Then less rare but still not common.. His mind or personality. It'll always go away quickly.

    I know no one is ever fully gay that it is rare.. But it makes things confusing when you're sitting here saying "I'm a lesbian" while having the ability to look at a guys ass and think "Damn."...

    there are people in the world that are fully gay or straight . not saying anything about your sexuality or anything but there are people that are . But to say no one is to me is false

    I'm extremely obsessed with my sexuality(HOCD) so I have identified as label free/queer before. I kind of internally identify as gay, but I tell people I'm "not straight" if it's relevant. Mostly in case I turn out to be bi.

    I'm a fluid pansexual/bisexual so I usually just label myself as queer. It's easier that way.

    As you can tell from my orientation descriptor to the left, I pretty much gave up trying to define it.

    I actually thought you were pansexual from what you wrote
