The LGBTQIA+ Flowchart

A flowchart to help you answer "What do all those letters mean?"

I'm hoping this flowchart can help everyone understand that the letters aren't just a jumble of alphabet soup, but there is an organized system behind each one. It's easier to see if you click the arrows to navigate through each slide, focusing on a specific section. These concepts are pretty much a multiple-choice test.

Orientation options include:

• Attracted to the other binary gender

• Attracted to my gender

• Gender isn’t a factor

• Attracted to multiple genders

• Don’t know/don’t need to specify

• Rarely or in certain situations

• Just sexual

• Just romantic

• None of the above

Gender options include:

• Same as the one everyone expected when I was born (“assigned at birth”)

• No gender

• Fluid or more than one gender or a gender not in the binary

• The other binary gender of the one everyone expected when I was born

Intersex identities and other variations of queerness are also included.
