Bisexual - Bisexuality is romantic attraction, sexual attraction or sexual behavior toward both males and females.

Boreasexual - An orientation that seems to revolve around one person in particular, or an exception to one's orientation, ie, someone who identifies as homosexual/homoromantic feeling attraction to someone of a different gender. In that case, it would be borearomantic/sexual towards someone.

Demisexuals are characterized by a lack of sexual attraction toward any person unless they become deeply emotionally or romantically connected with a specific person or persons. The level of connection it takes for sexual desire to form is dependent on how close the relationship is rather than initial attraction. It is an orientation that is not chosen.

By the end of the 20th century, the word gay was recommended by major LGBT groups and style guides to describe people attracted to members of the same sex.

Gray-Asexual - Gray asexuality, or gray-sexuality (sometimes spelled grey), is the concept and community of individuals falling under the "ace umbrella," or in the spectrum between identifying as asexual and engaging in sexual activity. Due to the wide range of this spectrum, gray asexuality encompasses a variety of individuals under the "ace umbrella." Individuals who identify with gray asexuality are referred to as being gray-A, a grace or a gray ace. Within this spectrum includes terms such as "hyposexual", "demisexual", "semisexual", "low sexual intensity", "asexual-ish" and "sexual-ish". Those who identify as gray-A tend to lean toward the more asexual side of the aforementioned spectrum.

A primarily straight individual who, in certain situations can find persons of the same sex appealing.

Homoflexible - Being mostly attracted (both emotionally and physically) to the same sex, but can, on occasion be attracted to the opposite sex. This is different from Bisexuality because you are attracted to both sexes equally in bisexuality, but if you are homoflexible, you are drawn more to the same sex.
