Omniromantic people are also attracted to all genders, much like panromantics, but they are not gender-blind. Omniromantics do recognize the gender of the person they are attracted to, and for some, it is a major factor in attraction. For some, it isn't, but they are still not gender-blind if they call themselves omniromantic. |

The history of omniromantics is very obscure, and is born because of omnisexual as the romantic counterpart, as such the history merely describes omnisexuality. |

The word omnisexuality appears as early at the 1959 beat poet Lawrence Lipton's ''The Holy Barbarians''<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference">[https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Omnisexual#cite_note-0 [1]]</sup>, 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''<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference">[https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Omnisexual#cite_note-1 [2]]</sup>''. ''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. |

The term spread even further in the early 1990's as M. Jimmie Killingsworth undertook an analysis of the poet Walt Whitman<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference">[https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Omnisexual#cite_note-2 [3]]</sup>. In Killingsworth's study, he found that Whitman had a general omnisexual character throughout his work ''The Leaves of Grass. ''In the 2010's, ''The Atlantic ''noted that his poetry expresses sexuality towards all genders, sometimes even the sea or the Earth. |

Omnisexual was a common message board term in the 2000's. The knowledge of this term was boosted even further when several celebrities, such as Janelle Monae''' '''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. |

Omniromantic is an orientation defined as the romantic attraction to all genders, though gender often still plays a role in one's attraction. Some individuals who identify as omniromantic may have a preference to which gender they feel most attracted to. For others they may be equally attracted to all genders, but they may feel the act of being attracted to one gender feels different than the act of being attracted to another gender. They might also find certain traits only attractive in certain genders.
The sexual counterpart is omnisexual.
Omniromantic vs. Panromantic
Panromantic and omniromantic are very similar as they both involve the attraction to all genders, however one can make a distinction between them if they wish (for example: an omniromantic individual may feel like the act of being attracted to a non-binary man feels different then being attracted to a non-binary woman). For panromantic individuals, they often do not feel any internal difference between genders.
Omniromantic individuals are also attracted to all genders, much like panromantics, but omniromantics tend to feel a difference between genders. This can manifest itself as a preference for certain gender(s) (though omnisexuals do not need to have a preference). Omnisexual individuals may also feel as those the act of being attracted to certain gender(s) feels different from being attracted to other gender(s). They might also find certain traits only attractive on certain genders.
Etymology
The prefix omni- comes from the Latin word omnis, meaning 'all'. Pan-, which the term panromantic comes from, also means ’all’, and is a Greek prefix.
