Is there an article that has a wider variation that is not exclusively for Lesbians, Gays, Bi(s), and Transgenders. I am looking for a word or article that is on the lines of "everything not heterosexual" and would include Asexuality, Autosexuality, Pansexuality, Paraphilia, Pomosexual, Zoophilia and, like i said, anything not "straight". I ask because i feel that people who aren't "straight" are usually grouped into that one social group and stereotype, one common stereotype (for men) that is prevalent is femininity ( Effeminacy) if they are not "straight". -- Cooljuno411 ( talk) 06:04, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Queer/
Queer Studies would probably be what you're looking for. though I doubt there is a single catch all phrase that means everything not heterosexual.

- Queer means non-heteronormative political striving. It does not necessarily refer to what you are looking for. I don't think there would be such a thing within the realm of language, to be honest. Diachresis.

- I concur. I do not believe there will be a phrase meaning everything not heterosexual except - non-heterosexual. For the sake of usage, LGBT is much better than queer in reflecting the homo/bi/trans/inter community. goodone ( talk) 17:17, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

- We could take a page from Orwell and let 'everything not straight' be known henceforth as "unstraight". Who's with me? Obietom ( talk) 16:13, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
- There is
non-heterosexuals. Also, I must admit I'm curious to see where this goes.

- Can I say that if you're aiming for a word defining a group by who they're not, non-heterosexuals would be a fair choice -- it communicates exactly what you intend: a catch-all "non-typical sexuality" type. (My intuition says most people, straight or otherwise, won't bat an eyelash at the word's "... perceived heteronormativity.") hithereimdan ( talk) 02:59, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
