Exactly. Why even bring this up when talking about her?

I've always been in favor of equality and see no reason to even mention this.

Why not bring it up when talking about her? Equity and equality are worth striving for, but we are not there yet.

I just think that there is no need to even mention her sexual preference. It doesn't matter. I don't need to know how she drinks her coffee, I don't need to know what kind of car she drives, I don't need to know a lot of things that have nothing to do with the job.

Lot's of people put a lot of effort to get people to stop labeling others.

You are absolutely right, equity and equality are worth striving for, and we aren't there yet, but continuing to label people just pushes equality further away.
