Seksuell orientering

Seksuell orientering refererer til eit vedvarande mønster av romantisk eller seksuell tiltrekking (eller ein kombinasjon av begge) mot personar av motsett kjønn, same kjønn, eller fleire kjønn. Desse mønstera blir vanlegvis klassifiserte som heterofili, homofili og bifili.^[1]^[2]^[3] Aseksualitet, som inneber fråvær av seksuell tiltrekking til andre, blir nokre gonger anerkjent som ein fjerde kategori.^[4]^[5]

[...] [It is] one's enduring sexual attraction to male partners, female partners, or both. Sexual orientation may be heterosexual, same-sex (gay or lesbian), or bisexual. [...] A person may be attracted to men, women, both, neither, or to people who are genderqueer, androgynous, or have other gender identities. Individuals may identify as lesbian, gay, heterosexual, bisexual, queer, pansexual, or asexual, among others. [...] Categories of sexual orientation typically have included attraction to members of one's own sex (gay men or lesbians), attraction to members of the other sex (heterosexuals), and attraction to members of both sexes (bisexuals). While these categories continue to be widely used, research has suggested that sexual orientation does not always appear in such definable categories and instead occurs on a continuum [...]. Some people identify as pansexual or queer in terms of their sexual orientation, which means they define their sexual orientation outside of the gender binary of 'male' and 'female' only.»
