I love going to Chris Crocker's youtube page for something to blog about, because if you need the point of view of a person in the LGBT community who is a bit eccentric, he's the one to look for.
In this video he rants about how people who were once ashamed of their sexuality is finally coming out when they are no longer in the spot light. He also continues to say that it is a new trend in Hollywood.
I definitely agree with him. I feel that being gay, lesbian, or bi is becoming a trend, not just in Hollywood, but everywhere else, too. At least everywhere I have been. People who once swore that they were straight and would never be able to experiment are all of a sudden coming out bisexual or even gay/lesbian. And I'm not trying to say that some of them aren't legitimitly gay/lesbian/bi, but some people are experimenting, and there's nothing wrong with that. But it is those who swear up and down that they could never sway one way, but they end up swaying.

So doesn't this bring up the whole issue of labeling? Particularly labling sexuality? If essentialism is wrong when applied to biological male-female, can't it also be wrong when applied to hetero/gay/lesbian/bi/... ? Way too many variations to label, don't you think?
