In a non-homophobic society, a future toward which we are making real progress as the taboos concerning same-sex relations continue to recede <snip> They won’t feel the need to label themselves (or others) as LGB or straight because, in a future non-homophobic civilisation, no one will care who loves whom. Love and desire will transcend sexual orientation.

We're tribal creatures. We learn about who we are as individuals (and the group) by trying on labels and labeling others. This is a lovely bit of fantasy but it totally misses the mark of the human experience and maturation, and just comes across as tone-deaf.

These people are the "I don't see color" of sexuality. In a world where same-sex attraction is just as normal and accepted as opposite-sex attraction, that doesn't mean sexual orientation and our desire to find others with our same sexual orientation would cease to exist!! It would just make our groups, spaces and relationships free of stigma and shame. Imo there would be more LGB spaces and straight spaces in a more accepting world because we could all freely gather and find each other. Lesbians are always going to want and need lesbian only spaces to find partners and to enjoy the company of other women who only love women.

I would just say, "Oh, honey. Oh . . . . honey. I didn't know it was possible to be this naive."

Right?! Love and desire IS sexual orientation!

These youth are going to have so many knots to untangle before they are able to have any sort of healthy romantic adult relationships :(
