Polysexuality

Polysexuality is a sexuality under the multisexual spectrum, and it indicates attraction to multiple (but not all) genders.

Flag
The polysexual pride flag has three stripes; from top to bottom, they are pink, green, and blue. Pink represents attraction to women and people who identify under feminine-aligned genders, green represents attraction to non-binary people and others who identify outside the gender binary, and blue represents attraction to men and people who identify under masculine-aligned genders.

Attraction
Polysexuality is an identity that indicates attraction to many genders but not all genders. It can also mean attraction to more than one gender without a gendered preference.

Polysexuality is frequently compared to other sexual orientations under the multisexual spectrum, such as bi sexual or pan sexual, and is often considered a subcategory of them. Polysexual and pansexual are different, as being pansexual you are attracted to all genders, whilst polysexuals are attracted to many genders but never all genders. To be polysexual, you are attracted to more than two genders. If you were attracted to two genders, then you would be bisexual. Polysexuality is also often mistaken for another term for polyamory, as both are sometimes shortened to "poly". However polyamory is dating more than three people whilst polysexuality is multiple genders and not individuals.

Terminology
The word polysexuality was first coined in the 1920s or 1930s. The word comes from the Greek prefix "poly-" (meaning "many"), and -sexual, referring to sexual attraction.

Flag
The polysexual pride flag was designed by Monica Helms in 1999, but it became more widely known in the year 2000 when it was first shown at a pride parade.
