You can think what you like about different sexualities, but to openly say in front of people who may be struggling to find themselves that a label they associate themselves with is just a way of being 'different' (not that, you know...that's how they may feel, how could anybody else possibly understand and so who is anyone else to pass judgement?) to make themselves stand out isn't acceptable. It's not a fun little easy lifestyle choice, some people actually feel this within them and so to make out it's just as easy as 'oooh let's pick this label cuz it's so cool!' just takes away from the complexity of the situation.
