What is sexuality?

Sexuality (or sexual orientation) is about who you are attracted to both physically and emotionally. Sexuality is very diverse, some are attracted to people of the opposite gender, some are attracted to people of the same gender, some are attracted to more than one gender and some aren’t attracted to anyone. There are many different kinds of sexuality and you can read more about these on the LGBTQI+ pages. There is no “normal” sexuality, everyone is unique.
