"Gay culture" is a thing that exists and that we can talk about, even while we also know that it doesn't include all gay people worldwide and that there's an infinite number of ways to be queer.

So, more specifically to the secret - it's possible to talk about ways of understanding attraction or approaching the world that are connected to specific queer communities, and have historically grown out of those communities, without that necessarily being true of all people in a given sexual identity. And - to me - that's what OP is doing.

So, in other words, the answer to the question "what does sexual identity have to do with it" is that sexual identity doesn't necessarily have anything to do with it. At the same time, there are all kinds of things in gay or lesbian culture that could easily have something to do with it. And this is how I think we should understand OP's secret.
