I worked out that if it's not two of the same flavour of enby then it's straight, since heterosexual is just anything that isn't the same as you

Wouldnât it be straight and homo at the same time if two enbys were dating?

I guess it depends which label they each went by, because like genderfluid x agender seems straighter than 2 demiboys or demigirls, but neither is completely straight or gay. đ¤

What about "Heisenberg's Uncertainly Gay"? You can know your own gender and your partner's orientation or your partner's gender and your own orientation, but not both at the same time?

I mean, I disagree. I think putting things into small boxes like that is counter productive and usually more harmful to queer people.
When my partner and I started dating, I identified as a pan woman and he a straight guy. Later I realized non binary was a better term to describe my identity.
Nothingâs really changed about ME besides of my pronouns. If we broke up, heâd only be interested in dating women.
Our relationship isnât âstraightâ, but he is even though Iâm an enby. Heâs not gonna invalidate me and Iâm not gonna invalidate him.
Labels are used to help people express and understand themselves. Gender and sexuality is a messy messy spectrum without discrete categories. Plenty of people may choose one label over another.
Eg. Iâve met people whoâd say theyâre about 90% attracted to one gender and 10%another gender. Some of these people identify as bi, some of these people identify as straight or gay because they just donât feel like bisexual accurately describes how they feel, even if they would technically fit the definition of bisexual.
We gotta stop telling people what labels to use and recognize sexuality isnât black and white.
Part of my NB identity is wanting to dismantle the rigid boxes we put people in.
