Which side always moves first?

In an official game of chess, the pieces are coloured black and white. White moves first, and his pieces occupy ranks 1 and 2, with the white queen on a white square to the left of the white king. If the pieces are unusual colours (red and black is common, as are novelty shaped pieces that represent TV characters) then set up the pieces as normal, with the queens opposite each other, and whoever's queen is on the left side of their king moves first.

The minimal amount of moves I know how to make a checkmate is 4 moves using your queen and right side bishop & the single pawn blocking both of their paths.
