Sexual orientation refers to the pattern of sexual, romantic, or emotional attractions to men, women, or both sexes. Sexual orientation can also be understood as an individual's sense of identity based on their sexual, emotional, or romantic attractions and their behavior related to those attractions and membership in a group of people sharing those attractions.
Sexual orientation is different from other sex- and gender-related components such as biological sex, gender roles, and gender identity.
