Pansexual Pride Flag

If you can be attracted to people regardless of their gender, you are pansexual or omnisexual. You may think of yourself as gender-blind. Some pansexuals feel they could be attracted to a humanoid alien.

But more practically level, it’s not letting someone’s gender define who you fancy. Of course, many bisexuals also feel they are attracted to people who are not male or female but another gender. But pansexuals make this more explicit.

The Pansexual Pride Flag emerged on the internet around 2010 and has become popular since.

It’s based on a similar design to the bisexual flag with three horizontal stripes. Unsurprisingly pink represents attraction to women, blue to men and yellow to people who are neither male nor female.

What Does It Mean to Be Pansexual?

Being pansexual means experiencing attraction to people regardless of their gender. Pansexual individuals can be attracted to people of all genders, including male, female, non-binary, and genderfluid individuals. The attraction is based on a person’s qualities, personality, or connection rather than their gender. Pansexuality challenges the idea that sexual attraction must be tied to specific gender categories, emphasizing that love and attraction can transcend traditional gender boundaries.
