It perpetuates the narrative that lesbians who had sex with men are less valid than those who haven& #39;t. And of course, that& #39;s not true! Everyone& #39;s experience when coming into terms with their own sexualities are valid.

They& #39;re not less gay for engaging in hetero sex, just like a str8 person isn& #39;t gay for engaging in gay sex.
This thread is all over the place, there are several other reasons why these labels are harmful, but the point still stands
