But therea re lot of people who have a visceral
disgust about sexual behavior different from theirs
that is independent of any religiosu beliefs.

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.
