Now that needs thought.

What the heck is he talking about? Surely gayness is important?

Only it isn't, is it?

I mean not really important. Not life alteringly important.

Isn't it all about love, and inner desires? And not about a label?

Do we need so much to "belong" that we call ourslves gay? I know no-one who walks up to me and says "Hi, my name is Fred, and I am heterosexual". I know several who lead with their homosexuality.
