Usage and Parameters

This is a template to create a pre-formatted infobox for use on orientation pages. Only fill in fields that are specified by the orientation. For example, don't set the 'genders' parameter to "Any" for bisexual, since bisexual never explicitly specifies the genders of the bisexual individual. Another example, don't set the 'system' parameter if the orientation is not part of an orientation system.
