I don't want people to think I'm a "proud gay" or "queer" type. Then again, maybe I'm looking at it too deeply, I tend to over-analyze/predict how people react and I want the most predictable results as possible.

I totally do that, too. I also don't want to give off the "I'm qUeEr!" vibes. I wish having a minority sexual orientation were normalized and not perceived as either positive or negative, so that I might be judged not on the basis of my sexual orientation but of my character.

This, though, is the opposite of what trans rights activists want. They want glorification of being "othered" and "weird" and pin the label of "weird/other" on minority sexual orientations.
