What gender are you? Do you like people of the same gender (meaning you are gay)? Do you like people of the opposite gender (meaning you are straight)? Or do you like people of both* genders (meaning you are bisexual)? *Please note that there are more then two genders

It takes time to determine your sexuality, and it's tough. A recommendation is to write down how you feel regarding sexuality each day. That may help you to better understand your sexuality!

Gay and lesbian define people of a certain gender who are attracted to those of the same gender identity. Bisexuals are people who are attracted to both male and female. Other people do not identify with any of the three, and thus other terms, such as pansexual, asexual, demisexual, etc. are used by some to define their sexual orientation.

Do you in any way identify as male and are you attracted to people who identify as male? Congratulations, you may now identify as gay! Do you identify as female in any way and are you attracted to other female people? Then you could call yourself a lesbian. Are you attracted to more than one gender? You live up to the expectations of what a bisexual is then!

Well this is a good question! Labels are just there for you to use! Do NOT feel forced to ever need to label yourself, and take your time. Speak to adults, and explore if you do choose to label it should be to make you feel good about yourself! See what you like and as you get a better idea of who your feelings are stronger for you can go from there! Good luck! (:

it's hard to tell sometimes. Since I can't tell if you are male or female. If you are a guy attracted to other men, you are gay. If you are a woman attracted to other women, you are a lesbian. If you're male or female attracted to both men and women you are bisexual

I think it will just be a good feeling! Like, when you are with someone, whether it be a girl or guy or some where in between, you are just happy and whatever you decide, you will feel at peace with your decisions and your life!

Its when you feel more settled and comfortable in the company of some people and uncomfortable in the company of others. Your psyche knows the answer. Its listening to that inner voice with strength and honesty.

You kind of just know these things. Being a pansexual individual (someone who is attracted regardless of gender) you just know when you are sexually attracted to someone.

Sexuality is just a matter of who you are attracted to, not any outward behaviors. Taking the time to reflect on who you feel sexual and/or romantic attraction towards might help. Only you can define your sexuality.
