I swear to god there's so many of these kinds of straight dudes that love to say "lets live without labels" meanwhile they're the same dudes who'd make a huge deal abt seeing naked men in a lil nas x video....
and taking two dips from the chocolate bar! saying no I dont like gay people but then will be in the woods with a gay guy and let him suck him off

And they never touched another dick in their life, so they straight and not without labels
 
good for him that he's not a straight guy then!
hes straight. hes a straight guy. that dude is straight. he be straight. notice how he says "labels" specifically. who else says this except for straight people? no queer person of any kind EVER has said "ugh i wish we could do away with labels" (obviously when in reference to gender it is completely different) because at the end of the day, labels surrounding sexual orientation are reifying and useful for queer people, both personally and socially. not to mention the inherent interdependence of labels and identification: if youre straight, youre label is straight, if youre gay, label is gay. if youre queer, youre label is queer. pansexual with pansexual label. and the main critique that cis-het ppl use of "were humans you cant label us were not things" comes fully from a place of ignorance and lack of experience. theyre correct, we are not packages or products, but human's are able to attribute non-literal, abstract meaning to things; a sexual 'label' is not something that reduces someone to just one aspect, it is foundational in forming an identity and building from that. not all gay people are the same because they use the term gay, and the same goes for any sexuality. (think of a name. ultimately, that's a label in a sense, and yet!!! names are a powerful and fundamental part of our self-identity)

you can see straight dudes like him more and more often using this kind of language to obscure their heterosexuality (probably) as a way to appear somehow less 'threatening' to women--especially as the public eye has turned more critical toward (straight, cis) men/masculinity. and ultimately, its a harmful trend. it devalues the power that self-labelling has and undermines its validity.​

"I wish we could do away with labels" is something young queer people are saying constantly. Not saying that Ryan is or isn't, I would guess that he is probably straight, but it's a common refrain among younger people (mostly younger then Ryan is), both queer and straight people.
why are you saying queer we are not strange and abnormal it adds fuel to the fire to the straights who again call us pervs and deviants to society
 
I agree that it s stupid when straight guys say they dont use labels.

U shouldnt use labels if ur sexual preference cant be defnined by a label (some degree of bisexuality or pansexuality).

However, if u eat pussy not dick and are not interested in sucking dick, then dont try to act 'cool' and say that you dont use labels.
Then ur trying to profit from the 'extravagance' of being some kind of gay but u ll never have to experience the abuse/violence/prejudices/discrimination real gay/bi/pan people face or even the fear of experiencing that.

But of course some people here will be all witty and bitchy and say: 'how do u know if he doesnt suck dick'.

Personally I think that instead of taking the "no labels" approach it's better to emphasize that labels are not, and should not, be permanent. Labels are simply ways of describing something so that people can understand. If, say, bisexual is the best fit for now, then fine, if you change your mind next week and decide you're pansexual or gay or whatever else, that's great! But I think that taking up a label, any label, however impermanent, helps people understand where you are, whereas taking a vague "no labels" approach tends to leave people with more questions.
