'''Pansexual''' (often shortened to '''pan''') is the attraction to people regardless of gender. As a result, they are attracted to all genders. Pansexual people may be described as being "gender blind" showing that gender is not a factor in their attraction to a person. |

Pansexuality is often compared to [[Bisexual|bisexuality]], [[Omnisexual|omnisexuality]], or other [[multisexual]] identities. It is very similar to omnisexual as they both involve the attraction to all genders, however one can make a distinction between them if they wish. |

Pansexuality, on the other hand, does not feel any internal difference between genders or feels like any difference felt between genders is irrelevant. Although, some pansexual people may still have a gender preference, this is not caused by an internal difference felt in attraction, or is so minor that one feels it is irrelevant. |

The pansexual flag was created in 2010<ref>[https://twitter.com/eviejasper/status/1161259394497224704?s=19 Pan Flag]</ref> and consists of three stripes: pink, representing attraction to women, yellow representing attraction to [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] people, and blue, representing attraction to men. |
|||
Another common symbol for pansexuality is the P with an arrow and crossed tail. The cross of the tail represents the cross on the symbol for Venus (♀), used to represent women. The arrow represents the arrow on the symbol for Mars (♂), used to represent men. The symbol predates the flag and is still occasionally used today. |
