On this 24 May 2026, we celebrate Pansexuality Awareness and Visibility Day.
It's a day to promote awareness of Pansexuality & Panromanticism, both as valid Orientations and for what they really are.
There are too many misconceptions as to what Pansexuality is and that is carried through to adult websites, apps & platforms, where it is further promoted & develops even more misinformation & false beliefs.
What Pansexuality is not is group activity of a mature nature, such acts with anybody, everybody or anything or promiscuity.
What Pansexuality actually is, is an Orientation where attraction to another person is possible, regardless of the Gender Identity of that other person, in a 'gender blind' manner.
'Gender blind' simply means that the knowledge of one's Gender Identity is of no concern, as that individual is seen as a person regardless.
When a pansexual individual is attracted to another, physical & romantic traits may be a factor but the biggest factor is personality, for that's what makes a person.
The ability to be attracted to anyone regardless of Gender Identity certainly does not mean that they are attracted to everyone & want to form intimate relationships with everyone.
That is one of the myths that float around which an awareness day like today is a good opportunity to dispel.
In fact, a person can identify as pansexual & spend their entire life without forming any such relationships with any other person.
Whilst today's celebration contains the word 'Pansexuality', it's also very much about Panromanticism.
Panromanticism is similar to Pansexuality but to explain it in a simple way, there is no sexual attraction involved.
In a Panromantic individual, that part is either turned down, non-existent or attuned more towards part of another Orientation.
Platonic relationships are very common amongst panromantics, where there may be little or no sexual attraction for another individual but all their focus is on romantic attraction, still in a 'gender blind' manner.
Today is also about visibility.
The Pansexual/Panromantic cohort are often forgotten about or not known, which creates invisibility.
Commonly used acronyms such as 'LGBT' or 'LGBTQI' continually mention other cohorts but the Pansexual/Panromantic cohorts remain invisible.
Awareness creates Visibility.
Visibility creates Awareness.
Remember, Pansexuality and Panromanticism are two closely aligned but distinctly separate Orientations, that are both valid in their true forms and definitions.
They both accentuate personality, which forms a very good foundation for the development of a lasting relationship.
