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.
