Today we're looking at the language used to describe the relationships that bisexual, pansexual, omnisexual, polysexual and other multi-attraction spectrum people have.

What should we call relationships where we don't know someone's sexuality but we can observe the genders of the people in the relationship? It's an interesting topic and one that has been cropping up a lot in the world around me lately.
