Of course, there are asexual people who do not experience sexual attraction to anyone. At the time, pansexualism referred to the perspective that a majority of human behavior was due to sexual instincts. Sigmund Freud, a well-known neurologist who is known as the father of psychoanalysis, popularized the term “pansexualism” in the early 20th century. Essentially, gender does not play a role in your attraction to a person when you identify as pansexual. In comparison, pansexual folks may be attracted to men, women, nonbinary people, intersex people, and genderfluid people. For instance, a bisexual person might identify as a female, and so they would be attracted to females and males. This differs from bisexuality, which is the attraction to only two genders, male and female.
People who identify as pansexual are sexually attracted to all genders, regardless of a person’s gender identity, which may be outside of the gender binary or different from their sex. So, what is pansexuality? “Pan” is a Greek prefix that means “all.” In this case, the literal translation would be all-sexual. In this article, I will be discussing pansexuality and the history of the pansexual flag.
There are a large variety of different sexual orientations out there, including but not limited to heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality, pansexuality, and asexuality.
In other countries across the world, same-sex unions or partnerships are legal, but marriage is not. Same-sex marriage is recognized and legal in the United States of America, Canada, and many European countries. As the 21st century has progressed, so has the movement for equal rights for the LGBTQIA+ community.
