Glossary of terms

  • Gender is personal (how we see ourselves), while sexual orientation is interpersonal (who we are physically, emotionally and/or romantically attracted to).
  • Race refers to the concept of dividing people into groups on the basis of various sets of physical characteristics and the process of ascribing social meaning to those groups. In this demographic survey, race is self-identified.

People of any race may be of any ethnic origin. [1] [2] [3]
