Sexual Orientation is different from other components of s*x and gender, including biological s*x (the anatomical, physiological and genetic characteristics associated with being male or female), gender identity (internal sense of self), and social gender role (the cultural norms, roles and/or expectations).
Sexual orientation is frequently described as if it were a purely personal trait, similar to biological s*x, gender identity, or age. Because s*xual orientation is defined in terms of connections with others, this viewpoint is incomplete. People display their s*xual orientation through interactions with others, such as holding hands or kissing. As a result, s*xual orientation is inextricably linked to intense human relationships that satisfy deeply felt desires for love, attachment, and intimacy. These relationships include nons*xual physical affection between partners, similar objectives and beliefs, mutual support, and continued commitment, in addition to s*xual actions. As a result, s*xual orientation is more than just a personal feature of an individual. Rather, one's s*xual orientation identifies the type of people with whom one is most likely to find the gratifying and successful romantic connections that are a fundamental component of many people's personal identity.
