Loving, or labeling?

Elizabeth Scalia is fed up with the divisive labels we bestow on one another.
when I suspect the public is being handed an agenda-laden bill of goods meant to promote dubious policy, I will say so, and I will not consent to anyone declaring what that “makes” me, so they can therefore ignore me.

Scalia writes about Dorothy Day, a person who is apparently being considered for sainthood in the Catholic Church:
Dorothy Day also said, “I really only love God as much as I love the person I love the least.”

Scalia summarizes,
The labels are tiresome and played-out; they have brought us to a desolate place.

I want to love, again.
