A question of identity

I am often asked by rank strangers if I am gay.

I do not mind answering them. 

In my own way.

However, I find it irksome

when people just randomly 

guess if I am gay or not, 

sometimes people even 

presuppose without 

bothering to cross-check!

Is it all a question of identity stereotypes?

I wonder.
It's just important to say that I EXIST, 
and therefore I COUNT, I MATTER!
