註1：
Sexual orientation refers to “each person’s capacity for profound emotional, affectional and sexual attraction to, and intimate and sexual relations with, individuals of a different gender or the same gender or more than one gender”.8 Sexual orientation refers to identity (being), conduct (behaviour) and relating to other persons (relationships). It is generally assumed that persons are heterosexual (orientation towards persons of a different gender), homosexual (gay, or lesbian, orientation towards persons of the same gender) or bisexual (oriented towards both genders).

註2：
Gender identity refers to “each person’s deeply felt internal and individual experience of gender, which may or may not correspond with the sex assigned at birth, including the personal sense of the body (which may involve, if freely chosen, modification of bodily appearance or function by medical, surgical or other means) and other expressions of gender, including dress, speech and mannerisms”. Those whose gender identity does not correspond with the sex assigned at birth are commonly referred to as transgender persons. This group includes persons who wish at some point in their life to undergo gender reassignment treatments (usually referred to as transsexual persons), as well as persons who ‘cross-dress’ or persons who do not, or do not want to, consider themselves as being ‘men’ or ‘women’. Some of them refer to themselves as ”gender variant”.

Since experiences of homophobia, transphobia and discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity often find their roots in social perceptions of gender roles
