      Energy isn't identity.
      If a person talks publically about their sexual attraction to people of more than one gender, it's not a stretch to look up to them as an icon for people who can experience sexual attraction to more than one gender.
      You're right that identity labels are a different thing, which is why I and OP were careful about the wording.

Now that one is 18, the other two is 17, they tell me everything and still get freedom and they are good kids. Their friends on the other hand they lie and sneak out.

It seems like he is saying that his first priority is a white and then to find one that doesn’t drink so he’ll have to go to Utah to find one of those. Instead of prioritizing the non-drinking part first.
