But therea re lot of people who have a visceral

Well, you wouldn't need to have the label and the
identity. Say you were interested, at a particular
point, in a man, being one yourself. So you made a
pass. If he wasn't interested, what more would it add
to, Sorry, fella, you aren't my type, or, gee Im
flattered, but I'm already in a
relationship/married/not looking just now, to say, I
am not gay? You could still look or advertise in the
Men Seeking Men personals, etc. You just wouldn't have
the label.
