National Records of Scotland revealed in a letter to MSPs they planned to expand the four basic categories initially proposed — straight or heterosexual, gay or lesbian, bisexual and other.
The 21 “other” options for census respondents are mooted as androphilic, androsexual, asexual, bicurious, bisexual, demiromantic, demisexual, fluid, gay, gynephilic, gynesexual, homosexual, heterosexual, lesbian, pansexual, polysexual, queer, questioning, skoliosexual, straight and unsure.
Dr Kath Murray highlighted concerns with the list, as well as an increasing number of possible responses over the question of gender identity.
The Edinburgh Uni academic said: “A sexual orientation question with overly complex predictive response options — not all of which describe the sex that a person is attracted to — means less complete information may be collected.
