Pansexuality is the attraction to all people, regardless to gender. Pansexual people may be described as being 'gender blind' showing that gender is not a factor in their attraction to a person. Most pansexual people will say that they at more attracted to one's personality and that gender is not a consideration.
Pansexuality is often compared to bisexuality or omnisexuality, however while those sexualities may be attracted to all genders they may feel a different attraction depending on the gender. For example, a bisexual person's attraction to men might feel different to their attraction to women. Pansexuality, on the other hand, does not care about gender what so ever.

The pansexual flag consists of three stripes, pink, representing attraction to woman, yellow representing attraction to non-binary people, and blue, representing attraction to men.
Another common symbol for pansexuality is the P with an arrow and crossed tail. The cross of the tail represents the cross on the symbol for Venus (♀), used to represent women. The arrow represents the arrow on the symbol for Mars (♂), used to represent men. The symbol predates the flag and is still occasionally used today.
Etymology
The prefix pan- comes from the Greek word for 'all' or 'every'.
