question time

[rm]

Since there are a bazillion new people on the LJ thanks to LJ idol, it's question time. Ask whatever you want, as lots of the crap I rant about can be hard to catch context on.

Yes, am bored.

What label do you identify with in regards to your sexual orientation?

I prefer queer, strongly, as I am attracted to both men and women and consider myself genderqueer.

I tend use gay, A LOT, possibly even more than queer because it rolls off the tongue easier and I live with a woman. It's also the most effective word when it comes to explaining to someone why their bigotry is unacceptable: "As a gay woman..." -- that's probably what I say the most often.

And yeah, I prefer the phrase "gay woman" over "lesbian" because lesiban is not a melodious sounding word, although again, I do use it for myself and others.

And I'm fine with bisexual, since it's technically accurate and I'm I like to do what I can for bi-visibility, but it doesn't have a lot of relevance to my life these days.
