Who counts as queer?

[Ravenshire]

Seems to me the world would be a better place if we all just took each other as we are, without all the labels bestowed by others. Fussing over those labels gives them an importance they should never have. YMMV

In am ideal world where things like racism, sexism, homophobia etc didn't exist, I agree.

At this point in time, words like gay or female are useful.

So, we continue to fuss over those labels and continue giving them more power..?

Personally, I think working to diminish, and eventually eliminate, those labels would be a better use of time, but you do you.
