You say,

    I dunno if I agree with it
Yes, it would be hard to argue for this one:
    You don't need to be sexually attracted to men to be gay
-- How can you describe yourself as gay if you are not sexually attracted to your own gender? Maybe there is a cultural definition of gay? Is Christianity a religion or also a culture, preference, lifestyle, philosphy?

I think Del might be suggesting a post-gender life (as I've poked at on hubski here and there). Words and categories and theories are far too limiting to accommodate all of us. Del seems to prefer individual definitions for gay/straight/Christian/.

However many people prefer stricter definitions for words - that's why "gay marriage" seems so obvious to some people and seems like a complete impossibility to others. I'm kind of hesitant to be too certain about anything.
