[@driamhane]

@@gjopp7251 um, but inclusivity is defined as giving people equal opportunies in representation and rights and so many more important parts of our lives. Cishet allo mono people who belong to the majority of the straight demographic cannot be classified as non-cishet allo mono people based on how supportive they are of human rights. Thus including them in the category doesn't make much sense... however this doesn't mean that they aren't allowed to live with and support the community to the fullest. A straight person can accompany their bi spouse to a parade A cis person can accompany their trans spouse to the community. A CHAMP relative can support their relatives Even if you dont have connections, you are welcome to support LGBT people. Just maybe not be classified as one. If you aren't related in any way to an LGBT person, it's better to not go into LGBT only spaces. Because you literally have the rest of the world to be safe in. Not disclusion. Just giving LGBTQ ppl the priority they have been denied.

@@r0van425 The "whole ass point," babe, is that everyone strives to be equal, included, accepted for who they are, right? Yet there is still division, even in the "community." I don't even get why there needs to be a community. I know we must agree here, that there should be no division or bias based on gender orientation or identity. However since I am heterosexual, I'm "excluded" from the community. It's contradictory - discriminatory based on MY sexual and gender orientation. So I suppose hetero's are just served a dose of their own medicine by being excluded from these communities, after centuries of not recognizing these somewhat new social definitions.

[@checkmate2489]

I was wondering... I was thinking for the bisexual, it shouldn’t be shown as a point between heterosexual and homosexual because many bisexuals have a preference or a leaning attraction, or the majority of their attractions are to the opposite/same sex. Bisexuality can also be fluid and change over time. For myself, for example, I find that generally I have a leaning towards same sex attractions, physically and emotionally, but it's also fluid and I find myself more interested in the opposite sex some days than others. I think you should have showed it on a spectrum like you did intersex. Other than that, fantastic video! How this would have made my life easier to see in school...

[@bamboo-3125]

Your sexual orientation could be fluid. I get this a lot too, actually. I'm mostly attracted to people of the same sex but there are days that I feel like I like the opposite sex way more than the same. I think it still counts as bisexual because you still like males and females it just fluctuates.

[@keck321]

That's what Bi is... You don't need a spectrum for that, just love who you want.

[@checkmate2489]

keck321 but many people have a leaning towards one gender. Some people may have more attractions to the same gender more than the opposite, but they identify as bisexual just like someone who has more attractions to the opposite gender more than the same. That means it shouldn’t be shown as a point between heterosexual and homosexual. It can also be fluid, another reason it should be a spectrum.

[@checkmate2489]

Bàmboo - yeah, I identify as bisexual pretty much because it's the easiest for people to understand, but I also could go by/connect with/ identify with others, like queer, fluid, pansexual, etc. Basically, I think anyone who is attracted to same and opposite gender/s can identify as bisexual if they want to. I don’t like to think of it as a limiting term that is 50/50, only includes binary genders, only attraction to 2 genders, etc. :)

[@keck321]

Wolf Heart you just made my point... bi is exactly that... you like both sexes... maybe not equally, which is rare as fuck. We don’t need 50 definitions to say that you like both. Why do we need all these definitions to say “I like guys and girls?”

No, this doesn’t need to be taught in school. There’s never been a specific class for discussing sexual or romantic attraction, and the problem with that would be bias with teachers probably teaching more in favor of their own and making it something that should be on the forefront of children’s minds. No kind of attraction is taught; it’s something you discover within your own life. Yes, it’s more common for heterosexual and cisgendered people to exist, but it’s not taught. If it were, then people who don’t fall under that category wouldn’t exist. Wonder how long it’ll take to get this reply taken down...

Thanks so much for breaking down, with very very succinct graphics and colour coding, terms and their meanings that confused me, terms being used that I really just didn’t, as I understand now, know what referenced. Much appreciated and thank you. Inherently, your last slide of respect and empathy is the core, I mean how else do people go about existing with each other, but the terminology is a god send. Thanks

me, confused and wanting to learn more about the LGBTQ+ community: _《watches video》_ my stubborn small brain after watching: *SO I AM CONFUSION*

[@unicorn2083]

It can be very confusing

[@cmmndrblu]

sexual orientation is not based on gender. It's based on sexual attraction to either the same sex, opposite sex or both sexes. If you are attracted to someone because they look like a member of the sex you are typically attracted to, that's ok, sexual attraction has a lot to do with appearances.

[@Starmadien2019]

Thanks for explaining Gender Fluidity too me, I've never known a gender fluid person close enough to ask. But I've always wanted to know

I used to get really confused about the LGBTQ+ community ...but thanks to your video !! All of my doubts have been cleared now☺️❤️❤️

[@faerie_fool]

I'm a part of the LGBT+ community, and this made me understand a lot more of the things I don't understand in the community. Especially gender expression. I'm a transgender male, but I like wearing make-up and such things.

[@andromeda714]

Wow! Thank you so much for teaching me all this information about my community! I barely knew anything about lgbtq+ but thanks to your video I learned a lot about the community and understand almost everything, Thank You! 😊

[@karosonj1]

This is a great video, good job there. Because it is hard to include the first letter of every sexuality/gender identity, let's use SAGA as a synonym. S exuality A nd G ender A cceptance Plus it sounds cool.

[@bakadesu9306]

I really want to show this video to my parents. I identify as lesbian and they claim to accept and support me, but they don't respect me. My mother thinks that I'm lesbian for attention, and my father completely ignores my sexuality. For an example of my mother: Once, I asked my parents if I was allowed to have a girlfriend since I was at the same age my sister was when she got a boyfriend. My mother yelled no and gave me a angry expression. For an example of my father: When my sister asked if she could go out on a date with a guy, my dad turned to me and said, "It's too bad he doesn't have a cute younger brother."

[@brunettexanadu]

I’m an 11 year old pansexual girl. I haven’t come out to my household, but to most of my cousins. It’s not like I’m *not* proud of being different, it’s just I don’t want to be disapproved of.

[@joshuadohrmann6355]

I'm a homosexual and tried to come out to my parents but they didn't respect my choice of being gay. So I only keep supporting myself during the hide in the closet. My entire family doesn't know even that I have an emotional attraction towards guys.

[@Nostolic]

I am questioning and this video was amazingly helpful in identifying myself. I would also consider myself panromantic. I didn’t even know there was a term for people like us. I have just always felt a deeper sometimes romantic connection with both genders and it’s wonderful that there is a term, I feel so represented which feels amazing. Thank you so much 😊

[@sleepy-emerald]

1. Allies aren’t part of the community. A is for abrosexual, abroromantic, asexual, aromantic, and agender. 2. Bigender just means someone who experiences 2 genders. Not necessarily male and female. 3. Your pronouns don’t necessarily have to match your gender identity. Some boys use gender neutral or feminine pronouns, some girls use neutral or masculine pronouns, some non-binary people use feminine and/or masculine pronouns, some non-binary people use both they and he or she. There are way more terms, but I’ll give some grace there because it’s impossible to fit them all on a single paper. You’re welcome for correcting your mistakes. (Sorry if I misheard/misunderstood some of your words.)

[@camsC05]

I identify as a Bisexual, nothing else, sometimes life is simple Edit: also Panromantic (that might get confusing but it's based on my views and opinions)

[@cosmix02]

Hold up we are already 0:33 seconds in and u got it twisted. *ALLIES ARE NOT APART OF THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE THEY DON'T GO INTO THE SAME HARDSHIPS BECAUSE OF THEIR SUPPORT*

[@dianah4016]

Honey, I get that allies will never fully understand the experiences that people in the community go through, but there are hardships that aren't necessarily about sexuality/gender, and as much as we support you, it's kind of mean to say we don't belong in the same space as you do. I feel like every human goes through an identity chrisis once in their lives, and maybe our chrisis have more in common than you think.

[@evie3190]

Hipster Potato calm your egg roll, they just made a mistake or believe that it is part of the community.

[@romeblanchard3419]

I'm queer, I guess! BTW is androgyny part of lgbtq+?

[@Kleineganz]

I think generally androgynous people these days prefer the term "non-binary."

[@gabbyrusso8296]

If you ain't straight or matching with your sex, you're part of the community

[@jarlennemorales7498]

I may be mistaken but I believe androgenous is a term used to describe a nonbinary appearance. In other words, androgeny is the mixed gender expression of both femininity and masculinity.

[@translarrybutz]

@@jarlennemorales7498 Yeah, you can be androgynous and binary or can be non-binary and dress feminine or masculine

[@bengourneau9581]

I am a Gay man and it has taken me many years to get to the place i am at with acceptance for myself and the many others whom surround me. When i came out at 14 the acronym was LGBT and as the years progress more and more letters have been added. I agree that some letters fit and some don't. I just wonder how long it will become before it morphs into its own language. I have started an outreach program that strives to educate and create awareness about the LGBT community. This video is packed with a lot information that can be used to educate almost anyone and the bottom line is Acceptance. When we are able to reach into ourselves and shine our lives become better as a whole.

I’m new to being in the community, so thanks for making this; I really want to learn more about it. I’ve recently learned about how you can even have romantic feelings towards a person and not sexual. And the other way around. Or neither. I’m pretty sure I’m Panromantic and slightly Pansexual. But I’m glad to know more about the kinds of people in the LGBTQ+ community!

[@tedted1106]

Unsweet Sweets gray/grey asexual is sometimes experiencing sexual attraction but not always. when you said that you were slightly pansexual I thought of gray/grey asexual.

I always thought of myself as Bi but after watching this video and learning more about LGBTQ it made me think... I’m probably not Bisexual, I think I might be Pansexual, but I’m not sure so I guess I’m “Questioning”.

The first time I watched this video was when I was questioning my sexuality and when I was in denial of who I was, now I happily label myself as pansexual, this video was really helpful and more people should see it

LBGTQ+: Odd ways in which people butter their bread, similar to other dietary choices not shared by the great majority of people, who know that how one butters one’s bread is a private affair, and should occur only in the kitchen where it belongs. Not to be confused with a BLT, or bacon, lettuce, and tomato, a delicious conjoining of different ingredients that should be on everyone’s menu. from dr. mezmer's dictionary of bad psychology
