Today is celebrated as Pansexual Pride Day (December 8th). Before I start, I am proud to say that that I am a pansexual (sexuality/sexual orientation). This day is one of the main day for Pansexual Community, other is Pansexual Visibility Day on May 24th. As you may have doubts, Pansexuality comes under LGBTQ+ spectrum. Also pansexuality is a sexuality and that raises a doubt : What’s difference between sexuality and gender identity?
Difference between Sexuality and Gender Identity.
- Sexuality/sexual orientation defines as what person/gender you are attracted towards. For example: Pansexual, Bisexual, etc…
- Gender Identity defines what person/gender you want to be called as/known as.
Note: Pronouns cannot be listed as gender identity.
What is Pansexuality
As there is lot of sexuality, I am going to explain about today’s speciality.
Pansexuality/Pansexual is a sexuality/sexual orientation where that person is attracted towards person/people regardless of their gender identity. In other words pansexual can be described as person who is attracted towards people from spectrum like man, woman, non binary, queerfluid etc… “Pan” means “all” or “every”.
