- TYPES OF SEXUALITY -
If you have been asking yourself ‘what is my sexuality?’, above are a few types (there are many more) of sexual orientations people identify with. Although people do not necessarily need to identify or label themselves as one type of sexual orientation, learning about the different types can help people better understand and relate to others. It can also help anyone questioning their identity deal with any oppression or suppression they have been enduring while also helping them feel less alone. Who knows, it may even help you find a community you feel comfortable sharing experiences with and people you can connect and relate to. Lastly, a person’s sexual orientation can change over time. We are human and change is constant so have grace and compassion with yourself, life experiences will help you learn what you like, what you don’t like, and who you want to be. Sometimes, the only way out of the forest is walking through it.
