It is considered freedom.

At some point you have to label yourself even if just to yourself. If you want to be open to heterosexual sex, you're not going to be open to it if you go around militantly proclaiming yourself bi or homo just so that the only people who will ever approach you are interested in that. Think about your life - in terms of many years - and what you want out of it. I f you want to be a 48-yr-old homo losing hair and hoping your pot belly isn't going to stop you from getting laid, then so be it. You could also be a heterosexual in the same position. Which is going to be the more rewarding life, despite aging? You've got a life ahead of you - think about it!

It's probably more a reflection of a desire to be free from being confined to any particular category. This is particularly appealing to people who do not like being pigeon-holed by society in any way.
From a technical standpoint, if you are label-free and therefore free to sleep with whomever you want regardless of their gender (and you do so in full enjoyment and appreciation), then you're technically bisexual, since you're free to sleep with both sexes. Ultimately, even "label free" is itself a label, but pointing this out takes the enjoyment away. If people want to think of themselves as "label free," that's their choice.

Labels are for making the label-er not the label-ee comfortable. Denial is more saying NO, I'm not (whatever), than it is saying nothing.
Sheesh, my dyslexia is kicking in and I'm having trouble making sense I think...sorry.

Seems eminently sensible - as long as you're prepared to accept that people will judge your non-committal approach as a cover up (and consequently associate it with a label which might not apply).
It's not denial though.

"or travesty that...discriminated against a theory which many Christians prefer (clever layout) that basically deserved point out as a valid selection to the belief of evolution?" the theory of your question is defective... It grew to become into desperate to no longer be a valid selection, yet thinly veiled creationism (persistently and throughly shown to be inadmissible as partnof a public practise curriculum. "have been you shocked that a conservative, Bible-believing Christian appointed via President Bush no longer in trouble-free terms ruled against what many considered "the Christian factor" interior the trial" the very reality which you may additionally evaluate it "the christian factor" exhibits its illegitamacy as a technology topic... yet greater to the factor, no i do no longer locate it marvelous that a conservative, bible believing Christian appointed via George W Bush did what he did. Even conservative, bible believing Christians rent via George W Bush are envisioned to do their jobs and uphold the regulation. "yet he extra an extremely "aggressive" ruling that went farther than maximum all people had envisioned -- such that his enemies categorized him an "activist decide who legislates from the bench"?" human beings enemies generally attempt to cut back the efforts of them... this does not legitimize their claims @secretsauce... The background curriculum could be dictated via the consensus of the experts (there are definable standards for why makes a respected expert on a given topic) yet i won't be in a position to help yet sense you already knew this ;) Oh, properly to my understanding, there is not any federal mandate for a college board's curriculum, that activity is left as much as state legislature and interior those parameters to individual college boards. As i'm no longer attentive to all fifty state's constitutions (much less the loads of faculty boards) i will bypass at that.

For me, not picking a label is a refusal to conform. I dentify as female, but I prefer the label genderqueer because I don't like to restrict my self expression.

Denial, I think, is the explicit act of claiming not to be something you are. What you are talking about is simply not responding to the question.
FYI: I'm straight, but I'm not a jerk.
