    There are many ways that people identify... queer or genderqueer would suggest someone who might consider themselves as gender neutral / outside the gender binary... pansexual could refer to someone who experiences attraction to people of all genders... and there are those that might consider themselves asexual for instance. There are also many other terms that attempt to cover the whole of the identity spectrum! :)

    Sexualities wise there's asexual, pansexual, flexible and queer. Queer is used by people who are not straight but don't want to pigeon hole themselves or don't feel they fit in any other category. There are probably more that I don't know the words for.

    There are also discussions as to whether polyamory (I think that's how you spell it ) is a sexual orientation. Part of this argument is around discrimination laws. There are discrimination laws protecting lgbt rights in many countries but these do not normally cover polyamory.

    Transgender is not strictly a sexuality- it's a gender identification rather than a sexual preference. Other gender identities include gender fluid and people who identify with no gender. Again, probably more.

    The problem is that there are as many sexual preferences and gender expressions as there are people. If you start labelling, some people won't fit in, so they will create a new label. This makes it really hard to keep up!

    Bicurious? Possibly. Honestly, all of the labelling at times made me feel quite alienated from the LGBTQ community, tbh. You are who you are, identify however you choose. No labels required :)

    As a human, you have freedom of mind and mouth to choose whether or not you keep it hidden.
