ACE WEEK October 24th - 30th 2021
SEXUAL ORIENTATION SCALE*
Asexual: Attraction isn't experienced to any gender
Grey & Demi: Limited/partial/specific attraction is experienced
Asexual and Grey & Demi together form the ACE SPECTRUM
Heterosexual: Attraction to a different gender/gender alignment
Homosexual: Attraction to the same gender/gender-alignment
Bisexual: Attraction to multiple genders (includes attraction from many, to all)
Polysexual: Attraction to many genders (but specifically not all)
Omnisexual: Attraction to any gender (specifically with preference)
Pansexual: Attraction to any gender (without preference)
*Scale increases from least quantity, to most quantity of genders that attraction is experienced to. It does NOT represent a scale of Orientation validity.
The placement of bisexual is not meant to imply that attraction is limited (merely that it can include attraction to few genders, up to the same point as pansexual; any gender).
