Total ordering doesn’t mean that the order is strict though. You can have multiple individuals with the same level of gayness.

Total ordering means all elements are comparable (=< would be a suitable relation), not that all elements have their individual rank (< relation).

A spectrum implies that the set is totally ordered but not necessarily strictly ordered.
