What does pansexual mean?

A pansexual is someone who is attracted to all genders, binary or not.

Pansexuals are attracted to all genders and do not factor gender into their attraction.

Pansexuality is an ancient practice.
Being pansexual is not the same as being polyamorous.
Pansexuals can be attracted to anyone, but that doesn’t mean they are attracted to everyone.

Who are some notable pansexual people?

There are many celebrities and well-known figures who identify as pansexual; some of these include Miley Cyrus, Janelle Monae, and Bella Thorne

In a recent Rolling Stone article, Zachary Lane explores the resurgence of pansexualism.

He notes, “Two months ago, when Janelle Monáe came out as queer and pansexual in a Rolling Stone cover story, searches for the word pansexual on Merriam-Webster rose 11,000 percent, and the term became the most looked-up word of the day.”

Is pansexuality something new?

It is always challenging to project into the past.

Whenever we look into the past and ask challenging questions, we must consider that traditions change as time passes.

There is evidence that ancient Greek, Roman, and Egyptian cultures had much more fluid concepts of sexuality.

Concrete examples of writers, politicians, and philosophers who expressed love for all genders exist.

It is easy to romanticize this idea and think everyone from the ancient past was open-minded and accepting.

However, just as people today are closed-minded to certain beliefs or practices, humans from antiquity did the same.

Where can I learn more about pansexuality?

There are many excellent and well-informed resources regarding sexuality.

Some amazing resources include the Asexual Visibility and Education Network as well as GLAAD.

Both organizations have extensive information, resources, and learning material to help anyone stay informed.
