Where are you on the Kinsey Scale? #BiVisibility
When it comes to understanding bisexuality, two models, in particular, have stood the test of time and proven themselves useful.

#fbf to this #kinseyscale I created for pride back in 2012 that went viral on tumblr and is still making its way around the internet! Lesson learned- You never know what pieces will get out there, so always put your watermark clearly on your work! I’d probably draw it differently these days and I’ve had many requests for the ladies version of the scale. Maybe someday I’ll draw the full scale women to men and everyone inbetween. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ until then, enjoy! ———————👬🌈✨
What is “The Kinsey Scale?”
The Heterosexual-Homosexual Rating Scale, sometimes referred to as the “Kinsey Scale,” was developed by Alfred Kinsey and his colleagues Wardell Pomeroy and Clyde Martin in 1948, in order to account for research findings that showed people did not fit into neat and exclusive heterosexual or homosexual categories.
Interviewing people about their sexual histories, the Kinsey team found that, for many people, sexual behavior, thoughts and feelings towards the same or opposite sex was not always consistent across time. Though the majority of men and women reported being exclusively heterosexual, and a percentage reported exclusively homosexual behavior and attractions, many individuals disclosed behaviors or thoughts somewhere in between.
As Kinsey writes in Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (1948):
“Males do not represent two discrete populations, heterosexual and homosexual. The world is not to be divided into sheep and goats…The living world is a continuum in each and every one of its aspects.“

Happy Pride! 🌈🙌🏽 Sexuality has a wide spectrum, and I’m happy to support everyone’s rights to choose what makes them happy, and to love freely. I know what it feels like to be made to feel like you’re worthless, or less than human, and to be bullied for something you can’t change about yourself, and I haven’t even had it that bad comparatively. So this month, as we celebrate LGBTQ rights, let us remember these are basic human rights. Whatever you are, your ethnicity, your sexuality, your gender, you deserve to feel safe, and enjoy the same rights and freedoms to exist as everyone else. My identity is as a Taiwanese-Chinese American, apparently with some Korean and Japanese among others sprinkled in, and I’ve happily been in a heterosexual relationship but have kissed women and enjoyed it, and am curious but haven’t had the opportunity to explore that more in my life so far. Who knows, maybe I will one day, maybe I won’t, but I sure hope people wouldn’t treat me differently if I did, because it doesn’t change who I am. Treat everyone with respect, protect those you see being bullied, educate your close-minded friends and family, make friends and welcome those who are different than you. As my tank top says, it’s cool to be kind. Have a safe and happy Pride this month and every month. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💖 #pridemonth #unicorn #bekind #kinseyscale #bicurious #love #asian #lgbtq🌈 (at West Hollywood, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByiY3ymgJjH/?igshid=of1cvkgqqil7
I created this scale related to lgbt+ people, because I think that most of the scales already existing (like the Kinsey scale) are pretty reductive, and rarely cover attraction to non-binary identities and the ace spectrum along with the other (mainstream) orientations. So, if you think this one is accurate, it would be a huge thing to help me to popularize it.
I have the portuguese version [here].

The spherical scale: presentation of a translucid sphere that locates certain orientations in points. It considers the orientations and the relations between them contemplated in the following pages.
Page 3
Relations between orientations
Opposition:
bi/pan and cetero
hetero and homo
fin and min
a and zed/alo
- it’s implied that the surface of the sphere represents attraction, and the center, lack of it. In between we have grey areas.
Overlapping:
bi/pan - someone who likes all genders can identify as bi, pan or both. Or other m-spec labels [reasons to pick bi or pan].
Similarities:
hetero/homo/fin/min – attraction towards one gender (mono)
hetero/homo/min/fin/bi/pan – included attraction towards binary genders
bi/pan/fin/min/a/homo/cetero – lgbt+ attractions
bi/pan/a/cetero – non-mono attractions (m-pec and a-spec)
Page 4
Handy definitions:
Hetero – attraction towards opposite/different gender
Homo – attraction towards same/similar gender
Fin – attraction towards femininity/feminine identity, by a non-binary person
Min – attraction towards masculinity/masculine identity, by a non-binary person
Bi – attraction towards more than one gender (two, all, or a nr in between)
Pan – attraction towards all genders / regardless of gender
Cetero – attraction towards non-binary people. Don’t use in problematic ways!
Zed (community name) / Alo (medical name) – umbrella to any of the above, feeling attraction
A – lack of attraction
Grey – between A and Zed
Worth noticing:
You only use labels if you want to.
Everyone defines their label differently. For nuances and problematics, check @Ash Hardell [material].
Yea I said it. To be honest I think everyone is #fluid. I think we are all like water that ebbs and flows. I think we change as we mature, grow, and have more real life experiences. I think that if we all dropped the societal norms that have been placed upon us to act as restrictions by outdated and mistranslated religious doctrines we would all be way more comfortable playing with our sexuality. Historically that was the case. Just take a look at the Greek and Roman Empires. While at NYU, I studied gender as part of my education. In my #gender and #sexuality class we spoke about the #KinseyScale. It’s a scale that discusses the spectrum of sexuality. It’s used in research to describe a person's sexual orientation based on one’s experience or response at a given time. The scale typically ranges from 0, meaning exclusively #heterosexual, to a 6, meaning exclusively #homosexual. Majority of the population falls around a 3/4. Makes you think a bit. I also like the term fluid because it gets rid of boundaries that separate us, and the more we realize we are the same, the better off we all are. The more we can recognize we are all humans looking to have a life full of love, acceptance, and peace, the more we can actually find those things. Yes, we may go about finding them differently, but this is our life’s quest as humans. At the end of the day you have to hike your own hike, but make sure you do it with love leading you. #Pride month is about acceptance, raising awareness, and making all of us think deeper, so let me know what you think about sexuality in the comment section below. I love being educated and inspired by you guys! #loveislove #gayisok #grateful #lgbt #lgbtq #pridemonth https://www.instagram.com/p/Byp2BR4hE8h/?igshid=19tp0dzjv5q5d
