Orientation

[Cersei Lannister]

What's your sexual orientation? How do you feel about orientations? Do you feel like a person's orientation defines them?

I don't really mind what a persons orientation is, don't think it really says anything about the person. I'm fine with whatever.

I'm gay but I don't think this defines me at all. It may well do to some people but I wouldn't consider sexuality as a personality trait, more just an innate part of who you are. Being gay or straight doesn't change how you interact with people or anything about your outward appearance so it's hard to see any way that it could define someone, in my eyes at least. I do realise a lot of people disagree with this however.

 

[Esper]

I like to think I'm open to anyone (so, pansexual, I suppose), though I'm more romantically attracted to men than I am sexually.

I think it's fine if someone wants to make their orientation part of their identity, and in the current state of the world I don't want anyone to have to be ashamed or forced to hide for their safety, but eventually I'd like to see a world where it's not something people usually think or care about and everyone accepts it as a normal part of life the way we accept that some people have different color hair and eyes.

I consider myself a panromantic asexual. Orientation has always been confusing and a bumpy road for me to say the least, but I'm content with where I am now. I'm all for orientations, but we shouldn't have to use them to define someone's sexual or romantic interests in other people. The world would be an easier place if we just accept the fact that each person is different and go about with our daily lives.

Pansexual/Panromantic.

I prefer guys though I don't really think about it much, if I like someone I like someone. I don't think a person's sexual or romantic orientation defines them at all either, though I know some people like being defined by their identity and that's fine by me.

 

[Sefuree]

I'm straight and I don't really have a problem with most of the other orientations.
I just can't get behind a few of them. Thanks tumblr!

 

[Cariad]

bisexual with a definite and large sexual preference for girls, despite currently being in a romantic relationship with a boy.

i don't really think about other people's orientations; even if i was planning on entering a relationship with them, as long as they're into me then that's all that i would really think about it.

while a person's orientation doesn't define them, if they choose to make it a large part of their identity, that's absolutely fine imo.

 

[Lapis]

I'm heterosexual. I do not feel that one's orientation defines who they are as a person. I'm open to all orientations and don't have a problem with any of them. ^^

 

[PiaCRT]

I like any and all genders. It is not something that is a big concern to me. If kids are the issue there are plenty out there with no parents that can be adopted c:

 

[Cersei Lannister]

I'm straight, that's about all there is to it. I feel that sometimes a person's orientation can define them, but I don't think it should. It really doesn't fucking matter who you like as long as you are respectful, imo. I am comfortable enough in my sexuality that I can compliment members of the same sex and not feel uncomfortable about it. I know when someone's hot regardless of gender.

 

[Aisu]

I've never once felt for another person in any way, male or female, so asexual. I don't care for another person's sexuality either because it's not my business to judge them or say who they can/should or can't/shouldn't love.

 

[Reunilu]

As far as I know, I've only had a serious romantic attraction to males, so I can only say heteroromantic (demi to be specific), but that's about as accurate as it gets. In reality, I've stopped caring about my orientation(s) a long time ago, so I don't know what I am. I prefer it that way, actually. I'd rather not stress over it too much.

I feel that orientation shouldn't matter and unless you're putting down people or murdering people over nonsense like radical tumblrisms, I couldn't care less about your orientation. Conversely, if all one cares about is a person's orientation (extending to any sort of fictional character), I think one kind of needs to step back a bit and look at the bigger picture.

[Limey-chan]

I am heterosexual and I am completely comfortable with my sexuality.

I feel a person's sexuality defines them no more as a person than the colour of their hair or their shoe size.

 

[Nah]

y'know at this point we should just have a permanently stickied sexual orientation thread in the Treehouse and/or Round Table given the frequency and apparent popularity of this topic lol

 

[gimmepie]

Boring vanilla straight here.

I don't care about orientations but I think labels are important in helping us identify and understand ourselves and others. I don't think sexual orientation defines who you are in your entirety, but it's a part of who you are.

 

[Cordeline]

Okie so I have never ever talked about this with anyone, not even my best friend, but seeing other people post about this with no fear makes wanna do the same...

I thiiink I might be bisexual and I think I have been for at least two years. Everyone I have liked has been a boy, but when I lived in Chile there was a girl that always called my attention, but I didn't think I liked her until I met someone really similar to her in my current school. She is so distant but so warm at the same time and I just can't help it but love that. Makes want to stay with her sometimes.

I'm just admitting this to myself and I want to tell my parents and brothers. I don't think they'd have a problem with it but the same time my stomach hurts just thinking how they would react.

 

[Syndrome]

Bisexual. I don't really think too much about orientations and such, but whether or not a person wants to let theirs define them is up to them. I wouldn't really say that mine defines me at all.

 

[Sirfetch’d]

I'm gay, especially for christos

It's definitely a part of who I am and I'm very proud of it.

 

[Corrin]

I'm bisexual, as for whether it defines me, it's an important aspect, but it's not all of me.
