Panromantic is a romantic orientation describing an individual who experiences romantic attraction to individuals where gender identity is not a factor. Since panromantic individuals experience attraction regardless of gender identity, they effectively experience attraction to all gender identities.
Panromantic individuals may be described as being "gender blind," meaning that gender identity is not a factor in their attraction to an individual. They may instead feel that their romantic attraction is influenced by other factors, such as presentation or personality.
The sexual counterpart to panromantic is pansexual.
Panromantic vs. Other Identities
Panromanticism is often compared against other multiromantic identities. In particular, it is similar to omniromantic and biromantic as these terms may be used to describe attraction towards all gender identities. These terms are also sometimes used interchangeably due to their similarities and overlaps.
Omniromantic
Omniromantic describes attraction to all gender identities. The most commonly accepted difference is that omniromantic individuals may feel a difference in their attraction to individuals based on the target's gender identity. This may manifest as having a preference for certain gender identity(s) or as experiencing attraction differently depending on the target's gender identity. Omniromantic individuals may also find certain traits attractive only on individuals of certain gender identities.
Panromantic individuals generally do not feel any internal difference in attraction towards targets of different gender identities, or feel like any difference felt is irrelevant. Although some panromantic individuals may still have a gender preference, this preference may not be in regards to gender identity, may not impact how attraction is felt, or may be so minor that one feels it is irrelevant.
Biromantic
Biromantic describes attraction to two or more gender identities. Some biromantic individuals are attracted to all genders, however not all are. Some individuals may identify as both biromantic and panromantic, while others may prefer one over the other. The choice to use one identity over the other usually comes down to individual preference. Some individuals prefer to identify as panromantic over biromantic because panromantic is more specific, and they want to specify that they experience attraction regardless of gender identity.
Flags
The most common panromantic flag adapts the pansexual flag by including a large heart symbol in the center.
The alternate panromantic flag's colors are blue, green, orange, and red. The blue represents the romantic attraction to binary men, while the red represents the romantic attraction to binary women. The orange represents romantic attraction to genders that are in-between the binary and outside of the binary. The green represents the romantic attraction to individuals who are genderless or gender-neutral.[1]
