4. Do you agree or disagree with labeling people based on their sexuality? Explain.

If labeling means "judging" then I disagree. No tags such as dyke or butch should come along because a girl is lesbian.
On another note, I don't believe people should, in a sense, "be" their sexuality. No one should be "the gay" or "the bisexual", whether in a negative sense or not. I guess in a clearer way of stating, you shouldn't live your life focusing on your sexuality, if that makes any sense.

4. Do you agree or disagree with labeling people based on their sexuality? Explain.

I think it might be important, but also hurtful.
It's complicated. People say that their sexuality has as much to do with them as their hair color, or eye color. I think that's just nonsense, you can dye your hair, and wear colored contacts, but that doesn't change that fact that you're blonde, or have brown eyes.
I think that it's important, at least in this point in time, to have labels like that, to show that WE DO EXIST and we deserve rights.

But I think love should be free, be attracted to whomever you want, it's not that big a deal.

Labels are un-avoidable. All aspects of who someone is contributes to their "label" Its like judging people by their first impression.
I dont think it matters on what you label someone as, but how you label them, if its meant to be hurtful.
Labling someone as say "flamboyant" isnt offensive, its simply commenting on their personality.
Labeling someone as "f**" is offensive. And its just meant to hurt.
