Definitely it's more convenient to have a shorthand, rather than explaining. When I first found myself attracted to women, I didn't have a word for it and that was more disconcerting than the feeling. I can't say how relieved I was when I found out what the words were. Now I can verbalize things.
As far as GB, I think it's great that he feels comfortable with ambiguity. He feels no need to fit into a pigeonhole. I think it says more about our society than it does about him that we can't handle ambiguity.
I've found people react badly to that kind of uncertainty.
