SUMMARY:Pansexual and Panromantic Awareness and Visibility Day
DESCRIPTION:May 24 marks Pansexual and Panromantic awareness and visibility
  day. These are two terms that not everyone might be conscious of so an aw
 areness and visibility day such as this is really important. So what do th
 ese two terms mean?\n\nPansexual people – people who are attracted to ot
 hers regardless of their gender identity or biological sex.\n\nPanromantic
  people – people who are romantically (not necessarily sexually) attract
 ed to others regardless of their gender identity or biological sex.\n\nSo 
 is pansexual the same as bisexual? Not exactly – bisexual (bi) and panse
 xual (pan) are similar but there is a difference. Bisexual means to be att
 racted to your own gender and other genders (some people think it means to
  be attracted to both men and women\, but this isn’t always the case and
  can include non-binary people). Pansexual means to be attracted to all ge
 nders so someone’s gender doesn’t factor into attraction when someone 
 is pan.\n\nWhy does any of this matter? Well\, imagine if there’s a part
  of who you are and it doesn’t have a name\, or people assume that this 
 means something else or that you mean something different. This can lead t
 o feeling really ostracized or judged by communities and society as a whol
 e. It could mean that there’s a part of yourself that has no definition 
 and that society has no understanding about this important aspect of yours
 elf.\n\nIt’s important to remember that being a pansexual or a pan roman
 tic person doesn’t define all of a person. It’s just one aspect of the
 m. But it’s an important part to understand and respect. Difference and 
 diversity is what makes the world a fascinating place to be a part of.\n\n
 If you identify as panromantic or pansexual – enjoy the 24th of May. If 
 you know someone who does\, let them know you’re thinking of them. Valid
 ation and acceptance makes the human experience all that more wonderous. I
 f you neither identify or know someone – but you’ve learned something 
 new about the wonderful variety that human beings come in\, share on socia
 l media\, have a conversation\, do some reading.
