I Made A Post Earlier This Month About Different Gender Identities And What They Mean. I Wanted To Make

I made a post earlier this month about different gender identities and what they mean. I wanted to make a similar post about sexual and romantic orientations to put on my instagram, @/queer.lake, so people can reference it!

So, here are the most widely accepted definitions for some sexualities! This isn’t a complete list but I’ll try to include as many as I can.

Lesbian: queer attraction to women

Gay or Vincian: queer attraction to men

Bisexual/biromantic: attraction to more than one gender

Pansexual/panromantic: attraction regardless of gender

Asexual: little to no sexual attraction

Aromantic: little to no romantic attraction

Omnisexual/omniromantic: attraction to all genders, but not regardless of gender

Polysexual/polyromantic: attraction to more than two but not all genders

Abrosexual/abroromantic: a fluid sexuality or romantic orientation

Multisexual/multiromantic: an umbrella term for anyone attracted to multiple genders

Queer: a general term for anyone who is not straight, cisgender, and/or allo (allo= not asexual or aromantic)

Trixic: a nonbinary person attracted to women

Toric: a nonbinary person attracted to men

Neptunic: attraction to women and nonbinary people

Uranic: attraction to men and nonbinary people

I hope this is helpful to people. Let me know if there are any other identities you’d like me to add!

“Oh [other profession] wants better working conditions? WELL [MY profession] is HARDER I work TWENTY HOUR DAYS and I am NOT ALLOWED BREAKS and I’m PAID FOR SHIT and I have NO INSURANCE and I NEVER SEE MY CHILDREN so WHY are YOU COMPLAINING LOL”

have you considered that maybe YOUR job ALSO should not suck that much

I, a hearing person who likes subtitles just as a preference, shouldn't have to read a subtitle that's obvious nonsense, go back a couple seconds, and listen again in order to figure out what's going on. An accessibility feature should not be the most half-assed part of a professionally made production. Scripted media has absolutely no excuse for not having subtitles or having subtitles that aren't perfectly verbatim. Professional captioning services should be ashamed of the shoddy work that they put out. Captions should be treated as a part of the production, just like filming, editing, audio balancing, etc - and anything that releases with missing or bad captions should be seen as unfinished

Just watched the Barbie Movie and...

...💕ALLAN MY BELOVED💕

My man is everything that I want in a queer-coded comic relief character

He's Ken's buddy who fits in all of his clothes 🏳️‍🌈

He's a transgender/nonbinary icon

He canonically will fight you (and win)

He's capable of hearing the narrator

His outfits are gay as hell

His dancing is awkward as hell (affectionate)

He'd probably be everyone's gay bestie

I love him and it's so sad that I don't have a doll like him
