Sexuality:

Aromantic - A person who does not experience romantic attraction. See: Romantic Orientation

Asexual – An individual who does not experience sexual attraction. An asexual individual may or may not desire a romantic relationship, and may or may not enter a relationship with a sexual person. Asexual as a sexuality is a very broad term. It includes people repulsed by sex, people indifferent to it, people who will not have sex and people who will.

Biromantic - A person who is romantically (but not sexually) attracted to both sexes. See: Romantic Orientation

Bisexual – An individual attracted to both sexes, or one who experiences attraction regardless of sex.

Gay – Usually used to describe male-bodied people, although the term can also be used in reference to transmen, who are attracted to or desire a relationship only with a male-identified individual. Gay is sometimes used as an alternative to lesbian, although lesbian is never used to describe a gay male.

Heteroflexible – A person whose self-identity is straight, or heterosexual, but who may enter a relationship with a person of the same sex.

Heteroromantic - A person who is romantically (but not sexually) attracted to the opposite sex. See: Romantic Orientation

Heterosexual – Straight. A person who is attracted to or desires a relationship with someone of the opposite sex.

Homoflexible – A person whose self-identity is gay, or homosexual, but who may enter a relationship with a person of another sex.

Homoromantic - A person who is romantically (but not sexually) attracted to the same sex. See: Romantic Orientation

Homosexual – Used mostly within the medical community, homosexual refers to people with same-sex attractions.

Lesbian – Usually used to describe female-bodied people, although the term can also be used in reference to transwomen, who are attracted to or desire a relationship only with a female-identified individual.

Omnisexual – See pansexual.

Panromantic - A person who is romantically (but not sexually) attracted to others regardless of gender or orientation. See: Romantic Orientation

Pansexual – A person who is physically, romantically, and/or emotionally attracted to anybody regardless of sex, gender, or sexual orientation. This sexuality actively acknowledges attraction to trans people, while bisexuality does not.

Romantic Orientation - Most often used by, but not limited to, asexual persons to describe one's object (or lack of) of romantic (but not necessarily sexual) attraction. See: panromantic, heteroromantic, biromantic, homoromantic, aromantic
