The nekoromantic flag was created by Wikia user Selfship. The brighter pink, off white, and brighter purple represent the same things that their color counterparts on the nekosexual flag do. The lighter pink represents romance, and the lighter purple represents compassion.

== Is nekosexuality LGBTQ+? ==

Nekosexuality is often confused with a paraphilia, however, this is, by ''most'' definitions, an incorrect case. [[Neurodivergent|Paraphilias]] are known as sexual disorders that often lead to the distress of the individual experiencing them and/or those around them. Whether or not it is a paraphilia is up to debate, depending on ones definition for such.

Some people also confuse it for a fetish, however a fetish is typically when ones sexual arousal comes from a body part, item of clothing, or an object at an unnatural degree. Nekosexuality is simply attraction to cat-like individuals, regardless of how they look, and usually does not come in an unnatural degree of attraction.

Nekosexuality does not usually cause harm, as it does not influence or promote any harmful or dangerous acts, and is simply a desire/attraction to one who either does not exist outside of fiction, or has a cat-related gender. In ''some'' cases, one who is ficto-nekosexual may feel levels of distress due to being unable to have sexual feelings for people in reality, however this does not mean that everyone who is ficto-nekosexual feels this way, nor does it mean ficto-nekosexuality is negative.

Nekosexual, due to being a sexual minority that does not cause harm, as well as being [[Asexual Spectrum|ace-spec]], would fall under the LGBTQ+ umbrella.
