When a teenager says “I don’t identify as being gay”, what exactly are they saying? Is it just a way to avoid labels and being boxed in?

    Maybe the person isn’t gay, so saying he doesn’t identify as being gay would be appropriate. If he is gay, out, and saying that, then as you say he doesn’t want to be boxed in by a label.
