Sexual Orientation is a part of a person’s identity and is about who you are attracted to and want to have (sexual) relationships with. There are several categories for sexual orientations, but it’s up to you to decide to use them. Sometimes categories are helpful to clarify or address something. On the other hand categories may not fit at all your personal situation.

The definition of this glossary content we have agreed on as a project team to prove best practice and quality assurance.
