Sexual orientation

In case your wondering what sexual orientation is, it is part of a persons sexuality and tells people what they are attracted to in another person.
Now we all know heterosexual since its a common sexual orientation that is often presented in various media sources; if you're unsure it is the attraction of the opposite sex. There is also homosexual which, while it is no longer seen as a big problem in certain countries, it is still frowned upon in certain countries and by certain people; if you're unsure it is the attraction of the same sex. Bisexual is sometimes frowned upon like homosexuality but it is also seen as a testing of ones sexual orientation because of it varying between homosexual and heterosexual.
These are the three main sexual orientations that the world knows today but there are actually more like pan-sexual which is when you're attracted to someone's personality, not looks or gender but their personality.
A-sexual which is when you aren't interested in sex at all or anything that is remotely sexual.
Now there are also sexuality terms like trans-sexual and transgender. This relates to when a person feels like they are the opposite gender inside despite what they look like on the outside. Sort of like a boy in a girl's body and a girl in a boy's body etc.
Now in today's world, we are more accepting about one's sexuality, mostly in western cultures but there are people who still don't accept them, also in western cultures.
I, personally, think one's sexuality is their own business. Mainly because I have no say about who they are so who am I to judge them.

If you want to learn about sexuality and how it was discriminated in the past then a movie I would recommend is 'Philadelphia' since it focuses on a man who sues the company he worked for after he was fired because his co-workers and bosses said he was incompetent but it was due to him having HIV and being gay. It is a good movie and a good film to watch if you want to look into the world when discrimination was a big problem.

That's all for now but comment if you have an opinion you wish to share, I don't mind any creative criticism and don't be afraid to share any thoughts you may have.
