Gender Variance Christian, Marian, and Christopher

Pansexual- person who experiences sexual, romantic, physical and or spiritual attraction for members of all gender identities. Called Pan for short.
It is also called Omni sexuality. It is attraction regardless of gender identity. Often call themselves gender blind. Gender and biological sex are not factors in their attraction to others.This is different from Bisexual because Bisexual suggests that there are just two genders. Pansexuality means being open to a relationship with all genders.
Miley Cyrus calls herself Pansexual. She says she is "gender fluid". She says being Pansexual means "I don't relate to being a boy or a girl, and I don't have to have my partner relate to being a boy or a girl".




Queer- An umbrella term to describe individuals who don't identify as straight. This term means different things to different people. Some LBTQ people refer to themselves as queer but others consider it a slur because it used to be used in a negative way. It should be a personal choice for people to refer to themselves as Queer or not. One should never identify someone that way who doesn't identify themselves as queer.

Ellen Page

In the article linked below Ellen Page, who identifies herself as queer talks about being victimized for it. She talks about the director of X-Men and how he publicly outed her as gay and sexually harassed her. She is a spokeswoman in support of the queer community.

Questioning- someone who is not sure or exploring their own sexual orientation or gender identity.
When a person who identifies as heterosexual or homosexual has curiosity about the sex that they do not favor they are said to be Questioning. Also if they feel like a different gender than the gender they were assigned at birth but are not sure which gender they identify with. 
The link below is to an article that has resources for teens who may be questioning. It gives questions to think about and other resources for further information. The most important thing ,it says, is to not rush or feel pressured to arrive at the answer. Confusion is normal and it will become evident in time or even may change over time, it says.

Poly-amorous-having open relationships, multiple honest and consensual relationships.

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have been rumored to have a poly-amorous relationship or open marriage. She was quoted as saying " He is his own man and can do whatever he wants". This statement caused the media to publish that they had an open marriage.She addressed this several months later by saying they can both do whatever they want because they trust each other. She has never specifically said that they have an open marriage.
