"Yeah, you and Sagramore are gay married," Magnus says, with a fleeting smile. "Gay is... same-sex. Or same-gender. Men with men, women with women, et cetera. Women who only want other women are also called lesbians? Trans -- transgender -- that's like Alex. People whose gender doesn't always align with the sex they were thought to have at birth. She's genderfluid, too. Male and female. Some trans people are just one, or neither. But it's not a sexuality thing, it's a gender thing, so it's a little different from gay or straight or -- um, bi -- bisexual -- I guess that's like me? And --" he remembers what Laertes had said earlier, about liking men and women. "Maybe you too? People who like multiple genders. Some people who don't really care also call themselves pan. Short for pansexual. There are... a lot of different terms people use. Usually 'gay' is the quickest shorthand though, I think. And 'straight' is people who only like a different gender than their own."
