Sexual orientation is a term that describes a person’s sexual, emotional, or romantic attraction, as well as the gender(s) of the people they are attracted to. Sexual orientation differs from gender identity in that gender identity describes a person’s psychological identification with a particular gender, rather than their attraction to people.
- Heterosexuality - term used to describe a person who is physically, emotionally and/or romantically attracted to individuals of a gender other than their own.
- Homosexuality - is one who is physically, romantically and/or emotionally attracted to individuals of the same gender with which they identify. A man who is attracted to other men is usually referred to as “gay”. However, a woman who is attracted to other women may prefer to be called “a lesbian”.
Bisexual - refers to people who are attracted to both men and women, yet some bisexual people have a preference for one gender over another.
