Topic Explanation
Sexual identity may seem like a daunting topic, or a fairly simple one depending on how you look at it. No matter how you look at it though it is a complex and elaborate subject and many people may not fully understand it or feel completely comfortable talking about it. Due to this I would like to explain and clear up some uninformed information about people with a sexual orientation other than straight.
Definitions:
Homosexual: Attracted to people of their own gender. (Lesbian/gay women and gay men)
Bisexual: Attracted to two or more genders (Typically men and women but frequently involves non- binary people (people who do not identify as neither male or female) as well)
Pansexual: Attracted to people regardless of gender (gender does not affect who they are attracted to and can be attracted to any gender)
Asexual: Does not experience sexual attraction (Can experience romantic attraction)
- Grey- asexuality: Sometimes/rarely experiences sexual attraction
- Demisexuality: Only experiences sexual attraction after having a strong connection with someone.
