'''Biromantic''', sometimes shortened to '''biro''', refers to someone who is [[Romantic Attraction|romantically]] attracted to any gender, ranging from 2 to all genders, or individuals whose genders may be the same or different than theirs. They may or may not also be [[Sexual Attraction|sexually]] attracted to those genders as well. Biromantic individuals may or may not have a preference and may or may not feel a difference between genders.
Biromantic can be similar to [[panromantic]] and other [[pluralian]] identities. The difference between these identities usually comes down to individual preference, particularly where individuals may feel that different terms communicate their individual experience of attraction with more accuracy.
The sexual counterpart is [[bisexual]].
==History==
While the term was allegedly coined between 1995 and 2000,<ref>[{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://www.dictionary.com/browse/biromantic Dictionary.com entry on biromantic.}}]</ref>, the first known use of the word is in a news article from 2005 about [[asexual]] individuals.<ref>[{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://www.smh.com.au/national/no-sex-please-im-not-into-it-20050416-gdl50l.html Article in the ''Sydney Morning Herald'' about biromantic asexual people.}}]</ref>
Like most terms related to the [[Split Attraction Model (SAM)|split attraction model]], it likely emerged as we know it now from the forum boards of the Asexual Visibility and Education Network (AVEN) around 2005. The earliest known definition of biromantic comes from Urban Dictionary user Biromantic on April 20, 2008,<ref>[{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Biromantic Urban Dictionary entries on biromantic.}}]</ref> which refers to the split attraction model.
== Flag ==
The original biromantic flag was created by DeviantArt user Pride-Flags on April 26, 2016.<ref>[{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://www.deviantart.com/pride-flags/art/Biromantic-Pride-Flag-1-605329777 DeviantArt post on the biromantic flag.}}]</ref> The same user created an alternate flag on May 9, 2016.<ref>[{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://www.deviantart.com/pride-flags/art/Biromantic-607943792 DeviantArt post with an alternate biromantic flag.}}]</ref> Both add a heart to the bi pride flag.
The flag was proposed by an anonymous wiki user on October 24, 2020. The top purple stripe represents attraction to two or more genders. The lighter purple stripe represents [[varioriented]] biromantics. The white stripe represents [[transgender]], [[Non-Binary|non-binary]], [[Cisn’t|cisn't]], and [[intersex]] biromantics. The orange stripe represents [[perioriented]] biromantics. The dark blue stripe represents [[aroace]] biromantics, typically in the case of [[Angled Aroace|angled aroaces]].▼

On March 10, 2021, FANDOM user [[User:RemyWest123|RemyWest123]] created another alternate flag meant to be more inclusive by expanding the purple stripe, which is typically a thinner stripe used to represent non-binary individuals, and adding gradations of all of the colors to represent a greater amount of gender experiences. On March 21, 2021, FANDOM user [[User:CallieCat030|CallieCat030]] created another alternate flag, using a heart in their design to harken back to the original biromantic flags.
