'''Diamoric'''
Diamoric can be an orientation on it's own or is can be used as an umbrella term to describe a variety of non-binary attraction. This includes [[Ceterosexual|ceterosexual/skoliosexual,]] [[enbian]], non-binary loving non-binary (NBLNB), NBLW orientations, and NBLM orientations.
Line 8:
Diamoric can also used to describe a relationship in which one or more of the people involved is non-binary. A diamoric relationship is one which is neither straight or gay, as one of the parties is non-binary.
Binary people cannot use the term diamoric to describe their own orientation, but they can use it to describe their relationship with a non-binary person.
== History ==
On June 13, 2016 the term Dionysian was coined by Tumblr user Androgyne-Enjolras<ref>http://androgyne-enjolras.tumblr.com/post/145887394674/jesse-mcree-replied-to-your-post-feuillyadeux</ref>. The term is derived from Dionysus who was historically associated with gender variance. There were some people who thought it was rude to use the name of a Hellenistic god. On July 5 there was a poll for an alternate to Dionysian, the options being appellic and diamoric<ref>http://androgyne-enjolras.tumblr.com/post/146953154069/non-binary-love-an-update-and-a-poll</ref>. On July 14 the results of the poll were posted, with the results in favor of diamoric<ref>http://androgyne-enjolras.tumblr.com/post/147395086504/diamoric-love</ref>.
== Flag ==
The diamoric flag has two green stripes on the top and bottom, representing non-binary people. In the middle it has a white stripe to match the [[achillean]] and [[sapphic]] flags, with a purple myrtle in the center. Myrtles were said to be sacred to Aphrodit(e/us) and Adonis, whose relationship may be said to be diamoric.
Between June 13 and June 26 2016 four flag were created by the Tumblr blog Dionysiansuggestion. These flag were all very similar, with all of the having the purple myrtle and the only differences being the color of the top and bottom stripes. Soon the flag that caught on was the one with light green stripes<ref>http://androgyne-enjolras.tumblr.com/post/146529922219/dionysiansuggestion-dionysiansuggestion</ref>.
== Etymology ==
The word diamoric comes from the Greek prefix dia- meaning 'passing through' or 'going apart' and the Latin word amor, meaning 'love'.
