At first blush I would have thought 'queerplatonic' would describe the relationship I have with my best friend, who is a lesbian. I am a gay man, she is a lesbian, we are 'queer' (but neither of us refer to ourselves in that way) and we're total homosexual besties.

Alas, it was not to be. You're quite right that the obsession with labels is bizarre and hypocritical. I think it's narcissism, pure and simple. These people don't want to have 'friends' like normal, well-adjusted adults, they have to be in 'queerplatonic' relationships. They don't like casual sex, but they don't just dislike casual sex, they dislike it in a special, sparkly, demisexual way.

Honestly your definition makes more sense
