@olvidar Lesbian - Women who like women (for the most part, this can also include non binary people)
Gay - Anyone who likes the same gender (ie: men who like men)
Bisexual - People that like multiple genders. They may like men, women, and non binary people.
Transgender - People who were born with a sex that is not the same as their gender. (ie: someone who has female body parts but does not feel comfortable living as a woman) This has a ton of nuance that I can't entirely paraphrase (search terms like dysphoria, transitioning, gender, and AGAB).
Queer - Anyone who is not hetersexual/straight.
Questioning - Anyone who is unsure of their sexuality or gender
Intersex - A person with sex characteristics that do not entirely line up with either male or female. This is how they are born and has nothing to do with how they identify.
Asexual (that's me!) - A person that is not attracted to anyone. This is also a spectrum with different sexualities that have varying amounts of sexual attraction

*All of this is paraphrased and these identities are way more complex than I have described*
