Multisexuality

The official PRIDE flag for the multisexual community!

The multisexual community is for any sexual orientation where the person exhibits sexual attraction to more than one sex or gender (so 2+). It can be used as a singular attraction term (as in "I am multisexual") or as an umbrella term (so the sub-sections of this community could be bisexual, pansexual/omnisexual, and polysexual to give a few examples).

Some people who identify as multisexual have said they identify as such because (in their own words, paraphrased), “different things affect my attraction towards different sexes and genders, so instead of trying to vocalize all these factors and make a complicated definition, I’m just using multisexual as opposed to bisexual or polysexual”. Some people may use it as a way of staying vague with who exactly they are attracted to (and/or not). Some people might not want to vocalize their 'real' sexual orientation term for whatever reason within the multisexual community, so they prefer to say 'multisexual'. 

Google trends claim that people have been trying to look up more information about this term on Google since at least November 2005. However, it does not clarify the context (relating to the LGBTQIA community or another subject). The official flag was chosen in February 2019. The flag colors are as followed:
  • Purple: peace
  • White: unity
  • Light blue: freedom
  • Pink/Magenta: compassion and love

My apologies

I'd like to give a formal apology to my readers - since I work in healthcare, my work schedule has been crazy busy as of late. I will do...
