Line 33:
The word omnisexuality appears as early at the 1959 beat poet Lawrence Lipton's ''The Holy Barbarians'',<ref>https://archive.org/stream/holybarbarians001288mbp/holybarbarians001288mbp_djvu.txt</ref> but the first time it was described in the context of the current definition was in a 1984 text titled simply ''Sexual Choices: An Introduction to Human Sexuality''.<ref>https://books.google.com/books/about/Sexual_choices.html?id=xitHAAAAMAAJ</ref> This text described omnisexuality as "a state of attraction to all sexes", stating that some researchers believe that every individual is born omnisexual before developing their sexual attraction into the labels of homosexual, heterosexual, or other orientations.
Omnisexual was a common message board term in the 2000s. The knowledge of this term was boosted even further when several celebrities, such as Janelle Monáe and Brendon Urie, came out as pansexual. The media made several non-monosexual terms known in the mainstream as that took place. Many popular articles discussed omnisexuality alongside these celebrities' pansexuality.
