LBGTQ* Charts and Graphs
Androphilia: attraction to males/men
Gynephilia: attraction to females/women
Sexual Orientation / Person’s Assigned Sex or Gender Identity


*Please note, I did not create this chart. I was also unable to find a chart which read Gender Identity instead of “sex.” This is not intended to be a cis-privileged post, nor to deny anyone’s sexual orientation based on their assigned sex at birth.

 The Kinsey Scale

Males do not represent two discrete populations, heterosexual and homosexual. The world is not to be divided into sheep and goats. It is a fundamental of taxonomy that nature rarely deals with discrete categories… The living world is a continuum in each and every one of its aspects.
While emphasizing the continuity of the gradations between exclusively heterosexual and exclusively homosexual histories, it has seemed desirable to develop some sort of classification which could be based on the relative amounts of heterosexual and homosexual experience or response in each history […] An individual may be assigned a position on this scale, for each period in his life. […] A seven-point scale comes nearer to showing the many gradations that actually exist.
—Kinsey, et al. (1948)

In college, I experimented with heterosexuality. I slept with a straight guy. I was really drunk.
