Varioriented (shortened to vario or varior), also known as cross-oriented, refers to someone whose sexual orientation and romantic orientation are "mismatched", split, incongruous, or mixed. For example, someone who is asexual panromantic, someone who is gay (homosexual) demiromantic, or someone who is heterosexual omniromantic, are all examples of varioriented people. Varioriented is typically used to describe a-spec people who use the split attraction model, however there can be varioriented people who are both allosexual and alloromantic, for example, someone who is homoromantic but bisexual.
The opposite of varioriented is perioriented.
History
Variorientation was coined by Sarah (tumblr user sparebear) on or before February 2014 as a "non-matching identity" for situations of romantic/sexual orientations.[1][2] Fy via beyond-mogai-pride-flags posted the pride flag on January 28, 2018.[3] There is no known meaning for the flag
