Some of those "labels" are things over which one has zero choice/control. One doesn't choose their parent or their sex or even their religion (at birth), so to be a black person or a woman, for example, is a pointless category for me. I also don't care if you're homosexual, have been married 3 times, or if you are 72 years old. I don't even have problem if one has a faith or doesn't. My major concern is if or how these "labels" inform one decision(s). If being a Mormon, for instance, forces you to feel like you should or could infringe on certain people practices or what people practice, then yes I would have problem with that. I guess my point is that as long as who or what you are doesn't inform you to infringe on people rights or force you to make decisions that would, I have no problem with what a person "happens to be."
Interestingly, being white and being male are excluded from the poll. I suppose this is deliberate (to prove a point?). I could be wrong (and I am okay with that), but the exclusion of white and male suggest that two "labels" represent some sort of privilege, because if you are white or male and better yet white and male, one doesn't have to make considerations as to whether they will vote for you.
