Do you consider people who are open to things queer?

    Like we have heard some people or celebrities be like "I have only dated/loved one gender but am open to loving others"

    So is it right to label those people as queer or is it simply they are open to the possibility

    I think that it is wrong to label other people.

    If someone wants to take on a label that is up to them. I am part of the LGBT+ or as some say Gender and Sexuality Minority but I hate the term queer and do not accept that label for myself.

    Personally I think that label would certainly qualify but as QuietPeace said, it's ultimately down to them if they want that label.

    Personally, I wouldn't rush to the conclusion they are queer. Even if someone has a one-off or very occasional sexual experience with a member of the same sex, I wouldn't jump to any conclusions. I think there are many straight people who are curious enough and horny enough to seize the opportunity to 'get off' if it presents itself, even if it's with someone of the same sex, and I do believe it happens. As a one-off or very occasional thing, I don't think it demonstrates anything of significance.

    When it comes to labels, it's for each person to decide for themselves. Advice and opinions can be sought, but nobody can or should label another.

    A reality star “came out as pan” only been with guys and didn't even know what it was and said yeah I am on radio I like personality and she is fame hungry and does nothing for the lgbt community. I mean yes you cant label others but when it’s obvious it’s for attention.......... hmm

    It depends on whether they consider themself bi/pan or not.
