Sorry but this is a terrible comparison imo. Sexuality is not a useful descriptor and adds no “flavour” to the text. Even describing their skin colour is better because that’s a physical attribute that you can at least imagine. You might as well tell me their blood type they have, it’s a completely useless descriptor in the context of OPs “story”.
I’m not even on a high horse here, I don’t really care that OP brought up their sexuality, it’s a weird thing to do but not particularly offensive. All these comments spinning narratives about how it’s a useful descriptor are completely baffling. Y’all are performing some mental gymnastics for absolutely no reason.

That’s just, like, your opinion, man.
Is that preferable? I didn’t ask them their birthday and I don’t actually know what an aquarius is.
oh which comments?
Dude I don’t really care, if you thought it was funny that’s fine by me. Aquarius is just as useless as a descriptor as lesbian.
