Here let me dumb it down for you... if someone feels like they are romantically attracted to someone and wants to be in a romantic relationship with someone, thats romantic attraction.
Biromantic- can be in relationship with either a male or female
Homoromantic- can be in romantic relationship with same sex but not opposite sex
Heteromantic- can be in romantic relationship with opposite sex but not same sex
Panromantic- Can be in a relationship with any gender (these include people who identify as transgender, or intersex, agender

If the relationship includes sexual attraction, and involves sex-
bisexual- sexually attracted to both males and females (may or may not be at the same time in their lives)
heterosexual- sexually attracted to someone of opposite sex
homosexual- only sexually attracted to someone of same sex.
pansexual- sexually attracted to those who are bisexual, heterosexual, homosexual, transsexual, asexual.

Here is a full list of terms if you want to dig deeper:

When I said it was more complex than just a nut and bolt, that was a understatement. I feel that I can't keep up. Humans are complex. And what is LGBTQIA? Just when I understood what LGBTQ meant, two more letters were added. I want to care about the gays, but they change faster than I can keep up.

And your list (link) was massive. I'd have to make it my profession to remember it all.

I think I'll just take it as it comes. People only share such personal information when they get close. And right now, it ain't comin'.

I think I'm an A in LGBTQIA. Asexual's don't sin. I'm not a sinner. Everybody happy?
