Omnisexual is a sexual orientation that describes individuals who are attracted to people of all genders. It is similar to pansexuality but with a distinct nuance: omnisexual individuals often recognize and may be influenced by gender in their attraction, whereas pansexual individuals typically view gender as irrelevant to their attraction.

Key Features of Omnisexuality:

  1. Attraction to All Genders: Omnisexual people are capable of being attracted to individuals across the entire gender spectrum, including male, female, nonbinary, genderfluid, and more.
  2. Gender Awareness: Unlike pansexuality, where gender may not be a factor in attraction, omnisexuality acknowledges and may incorporate an awareness of gender in the attraction process. For example, an omnisexual person might feel differently about the way they are attracted to someone based on their gender.
  3. Fluid and Inclusive: Omnisexuality embraces diversity and variation, affirming that attraction can be multi-dimensional and unique for each person.

The Omnisexual Flag

The omnisexual pride flag consists of three horizontal stripes:

  • Light pink and light blue symbolize the diverse range of genders across the spectrum.
  • Pink signifies attraction to femininity and women.
  • Blue signifies attraction to masculinity and men.
  • Dark purple represents attraction to individuals whose genders fall outside the traditional categories.

Omnisexuality emphasizes openness to all genders while acknowledging that gender can play a role in the way attraction is experienced.

Who created the Omnisexual flag?

The omnisexual flag was created by a Tumblr user named Pastelmemer in 2015. It was designed to provide a distinct symbol for the omnisexual community, differentiating it from other orientations like pansexuality while celebrating inclusivity and diversity in attraction. The flag’s colors and meanings reflect the unique aspects of omnisexuality, acknowledging both attraction to all genders and the recognition of gender in that attraction.
