Hmm I usually don't think it important to plan out a character's sexuality, usually I just wing it, but pan/bi are the most fun because more options. But biggie is for sure biflexual, he chasin that bag!!! 💰🥶

I LOVE MONKEYS!!!!!! and geometry dash.

I think it'd be cool to share/list our genderqueer characters as well, in addition to their sexualities.
Gender has always been a fascinating subject to me, and in D&D there are so many things you could play as genders on the spectrum!
I already shared about one character, but another one that I have is an androgynous bisexual(some flowering plants are like this) sentient rose vine! (This was a Gamma World character!)

I've practiced vicious mockery too many times in my life.
Hmm… Solanar is straight… Kinda? He’s a god, devil, and a million other things so he’s kinda undefinable but does prefer women.
Jarlaxle is bi, but also prefers women (he also slept with various different species in the novels including dragons and fiends so… he really doesn’t care much).
Exaos is completely opposed to love in every form as he’s the polar opposite. He’s technically androgynous cause he’s an ex overgod but typically uses he/him pronouns.

What about Lindir?
Oh he’s straight. I’ve got another character I’m gonna introduce who’s aromatic. I guess I’ll do my side characters…
Bel’Lakor is panromantic cause he’s a pit fiend and uses he/him pronouns.
Lord Suldovir is… Weird. He’s a death knight so I guess he’s kinda aromatic.
In one campaign I am in I am playing a female Hin (Halfling) who has an unrequited crush on the other female Halfling in the party.
Very cool 😊. What campaign world are you guys using?
The DM calls it “Urth,” it’s a homebrewed setting.
Cool. Does your character’s friend know she has a crush on her?
Oh yeah. My character periodically comments about how strong and brave and pretty the other PC is (the other Hin woman is a Paladin with high Str & Cha). One time in one of her terrible attempts at flirting my PC thought it would be romantic to make a giant chalk drawing of the other PC’s face on the ground and drop the party’s tiny hut directly on top of it so everyone would sleep on a 10’×10’ image of the Paladin’s face. (You know the scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark with the student who wrote on her eyelids so every time she blinked it would say “luv you” to Dr. Jones? It’s almost like that. 😂😂) Of course I PMed the other player directly to make sure she was okay with everything and set up boundaries, and I periodically check back in to make sure everything is still okay. Consent, consent, consent. Right?
I usually just decide what my PC's orientation is based on if it fits their vibe or my vision in my head of them. Most of them are straight tho. My trickery cleric is bi, and other than making her token a picrew with the bi flag on it, I don't put much attention on it. Mostly cuz there hasn't been too many chances for her to hit on NPCs she'd like yet. xP She does have a childhood sweetheart (F) tho that I plan to set up a happy ending with.
Most of my gays I make are through NPCs, since I DM most of the time. I have a he/they tabaxi curio merchant named Sakeen. He only let's his friends call him "he" n such, and is somewhere on the ace/aro spectrum, since I don't really see him being a romance/sex option tbh if the players tried that route. I have a bi wizard/bard dude, with who I was mostly thinking "If I played him in a duel he would 100% just hit on his enemy the entire time to knock them off their game" the whole time in making him. His name is Klark. He's a clerk at an adventurer's guild. I have a bi/poly (haven't decided) bard named "River Powers" who can change their sex and appearance to the opposite gender whenever they want and can hop universes, planes, timelines, and can time travel. So if I ever wanna drop them into a CoC/Traveller/5e/Starfinder/etc, game the players can be like "I KNOW THIS ***** WHY THEY HERE, WHAT CHAOS ARE THEY CAUSING?!?!?" and it makes sense.
I made a lil' table for myself in case I ever needed to quickly decide on the way an NPC leans. I looked up the distribution of orientations irl and put it in a d100 table accordingly. I'll stick that here in case anyone wants something similar:

Hmm.... most of my characters just go by their birth genders, the only character I guess could be counted as gender queer is my blind elf, Silver! He's very physically androgynous and is basically alright with whatever gender people see him as initially, though if asked, he will consider himself a guy. Also, Silver is another one of my bi characters.
One of my characters, Arthur, was a human man who ended up stealing the body of a vicious aasimar bandit queen. He'd resorted to using a psychic artifact attuned to the Far Realm that the bandits had taken from an abandoned mind flayer colony. Body snatching is obviously not a very heroic thing to do, but Arthur doesn't especially feel guilt about it, and the alternative would have meant his death.
Arthur still considers herself mentally male, but responds to feminine pronouns. Partly because she genuinely does seem to enjoy life as a woman more, but also because explaining her backstory to everyone she meets isn't exactly time efficient. Her sexuality is far more straightforward as a lesbean, since she was a straight man before. One thing she absolutely refuses to change, however, is her name. There's in-story reasons why, but mostly it's my excuse to have a red flag in why a woman has a man's name.

I assumed by adding the"+" it would make up for it.
Also, thanks a bunch to everyone posting on this thread! I didn't know it would blow up so quickly!^^

Awesome 😊. Totally agree.
For me, my alignment is Panromantic/Demisexual. My gender is kind of chaotic but i go be He/Him/They/Them.
Also list of every character gender and sexuality cuz why not.
Adder: Panromantic-Pansexual (leaning on gay) He/Him
Allison: Straight / she/her
Penny: Biromantic-Demisexual / She/Her/They/Them.
Omega: Questioning / He/Him
Kelipso: Gay / He/Him
Brand: Gay / He/Him
Echollis: ChaoticBi / He/Him/They/Them
