In this episode, Lulu and Laura define sexual orientation and discuss common misconceptions about sexual orientation. This episode will be focused on sexual orientation in a broad sense. We will cover specific sexual orientations (heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality, etc) in their own episodes. *correction* In different points throughout the episode, we reference being attracted to someone's sex (assigned sex at birth) as a part of one's sexual orientation. We should have said attracted to someone's gender. Sexual orientation is about being attracted to gender, not assigned sex at birth. For more info about the difference between sex and gender, please watch this video for TL by Professor Sex! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yaz51bixRKo&ab_channel=TickleLife
