LGBTQ+ Meanings

 


Homosexuality is romantic attraction, sexual attraction, or sexual behavior between members of the same sex or gender. As a sexual orientation, homosexuality is "an enduring pattern of emotional, romantic, and/or sexual attractions" to people of the same sex. 

Bi-sexuality is romantic attraction, sexual attraction, or sexual behavior toward both males and females, or to more than one sex or gender.   

Non-binary or genderqueer is a spectrum of gender identities that are not exclusively masculine or feminine. 

Queer is a word that describes sexual and gender identities other than straight and cisgender. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people may all identify with the word queer. Queer is sometimes used to express that sexuality and gender can be complicated, change over time, and might not fit neatly into either/or identities, like male or female, gay or straight.  

Pan-sexuality is sexual, romantic or emotional attraction towards people regardless of their sex or gender identity. Pansexual people may refer to themselves as gender-blind, asserting that gender and sex are not determining factors in their romantic or sexual attraction to others.  

A-sexuality is the lack of sexual attraction to others, or low or absent interest in or desire for sexual activity. 

Everybody is different. It's okay if you don't completely understand but sexual orientations are not weird. 

Smooches and think Tink! 🧚
