Labels Beyond Gay and Straight
Being gay, straight, or bisexual are terms that people use to describe the gender they're attracted to. But there is more than one way of being queer in the world. In fact, there are many different types of sexual orientation and attraction out there sex gay fuck each other — even beyond gay, straight and bi! If you've heard about some of these lesser-known identities but still aren't sure if they apply to you, here's a breakdown of labels beyond the traditional three:
In this section, I will provide an overview of all posts
written on the Education Services blog from November 2018 till today (March
2019). Each post will be presented with its title, description (if available),
and links for further reading. This section will be divided into three subcategories:

Bisexual
The term bisexual describes people who are
attracted to both men and women. It does not mean that you’re straight or
gay—it means that you are attracted to both genders.
Bisexuality is a sexual orientation, not a gender identity. You can be bisexual and identify as male, female, nonbinary, or otherwise; there are many ways of identifying your gender!
Pansexual
Pansexuality is a sexual orientation (attraction) in which someone is attracted to people regardless of their gender or sex. Pansexual people may also be attracted to trans people and genderqueer, non-binary, androgynous, gender, or gender fluid people.
Pansexuals can be both men and women who are attracted to those of all genders. They may be attracted to some specific genders more than others; for example, pansexual men might only date cisgender women while pansexual women might only date cisgender men. But they could also date queer trans women and/or trans men, straight cisgender folks... any combination! Pansexuality is the potential for aesthetic attraction, romantic love,[1] or sexual desire towards people regardless of their gender identity or biological sex.[2][3][4] It's important to note that "pan" does not mean "equal opportunity". So just because you're pan doesn't mean that everyone can go out with anyone else without first checking in with them about it (or vice versa). You still have preferences like everyone else!
Queer
Queer is an umbrella term for people whose sexual
orientation, gender identity or gender expression differs from the norm. It can
be used as an adjective or a noun. It's commonly used to refer to people who
are gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender.
However...
The term "queer" has also been reclaimed by some LGBT people as an inclusive and affirmative alternative to "gay". The term was coined in the 1890s by sexologists who sought to classify all same-sex attractions under one category. Today, many LGBTQIA+ people use it as a political statement against heteronormativity (the assumption that all people are heterosexual).
Asexual
If you're asexual, you don't experience sexual attraction.
Asexuality is not a disorder or a medical condition, and it's not something
that needs to be "cured."
Asexual people can also have romantic attraction toward others; they just don't experience sexual attraction. Some asexual people do choose to act on their romantic feelings and become involved in romantic relationships that involve sex, but this choice is made freely by the individual.
Polysexual
Polysexual is a term used to describe someone who is
attracted to multiple genders. While polysexuality is similar to bisexuality,
it denotes an attraction to more than one gender without necessarily being
attracted to all of them. Polysexuality is not interchangeable with
omnisexuality—which refers to attraction regardless of gender identity—but they
are often grouped together when talking about sex because they both
involve attraction that isn’t limited by sex and/or gender identities.
To clarify: polysexual people may be attracted only to cisgender men, only trans women, or something else entirely! The point here is that polysexual people can have preferences regarding their partners (and/or potential partners).
Androsexual
Androsexuality (also known as androphilia) is a sexual orientation that can be found in both males and females. Androsexuals are attracted to masculinity and the physical qualities associated with it, including facial hair, large muscles, and deep voices. In the same way that homosexuals may have a preference for feminine beauty or heterosexuals may prefer masculine characteristics, people who describe themselves as androsexual do not necessarily experience attraction to members of their own sex exclusively; many will also feel an attraction toward those who identify as gynesexual or another gender entirely.
Aromantic
Aromantic people are romantically attracted to no one, but
they can still have sex. Asexuals don't feel sexual attraction, either. That's
why it's important to remember that there is a difference between romantic
attraction and sexual attraction: being aromantic doesn't mean you're not
having sex (or doing other "adult" things), it just means that you're
not interested in any kind of relationship beyond friendship.
Aromantics can still be in relationships with others who are their friends or family members, but those relationships aren't romantic ones—they're what's known as "platonic." This term comes from ancient Greece where Plato used it to talk about friendship between men and women who weren't married yet (because marriage was only allowed after puberty). So if you ever want someone to ask how they should refer to instead of saying "boyfriend" or "girlfriend," just say: "Just call me by my name!"
Demisexual
Demisexuality is a sexual orientation in which someone feels
sexual attraction only to people with whom they have an emotional bond. People
with this orientation may feel sexual attraction but have no desire to act on
it without having an emotional connection first. In other words, if you're
demisexual, you need to feel some kind of closeness or connection with someone
before being sexually interested in them—and this applies even if they're
naked!
The term demisexual was coined by a member of the Asexual Visibility and Education Network (AVEN) forum back in 2005. While originally intended as an umbrella term for people who don't experience sexual attraction until developing an emotional bond with someone else, demisexual has since become a specific identity within the spectrum of asexual identities.
Heteroflexible
Heteroflexible is a term used to describe someone who is
sexually attracted to both men and women. Heteroflexible isn't a label everyone
uses, but it's a useful way of explaining how you're attracted to people if
you're not straight or gay.
It's not the same as bisexuality, which means being attracted to both men and women; it's also not the same as being heterosexual (attracted only to members of the opposite sex).
Biromantic
A biromantic person is romantically attracted to multiple
genders. This can be used to describe either someone who feels an attraction to
two or more genders, or someone who feels attracted to one gender and another
as well.
In many cases, the word "bi" or
"bisexual" is used instead of "biromantic," but this may
not be accurate for all people who fall under this definition.
Grey-A
Grey-A is a term used to describe people who are somewhere
between asexual and demisexual. People who identify with this label may
experience romantic feelings, but not always a sexual attraction. They may also
masturbate or have sex, though it's not always because they want to. It's just
part of life for them—something that comes with the territory of being human
and having hormones, even if your interest in sex varies from person to person.
Some people feel that grey-asexuality isn't its own
identity; instead, it's simply a more specific type of gray-romanticism (which
is itself considered either an umbrella term for all non-exclusively
heterosexual/attracted people or an umbrella term for those who aren't 100%
heterosexual). Other people think it should be treated like any other identity
on the spectrum—that is to say: as valid as any other orientation label out
there!
