Omni pride refers to omnisexuality, a sexual orientation characterized by attraction to people of all genders, but where gender does play a role in the nature of that attraction. Unlike pansexuality, where gender does not influence attraction, omnisexual individuals recognize and consider gender in their romantic or sexual attraction. They may have preferences or experience different types of attraction toward different genders. The omnisexual pride flag, created by the user Pastelmemer in 2015, symbolizes this orientation. The flag has shades of pink, purple, and blue, which many interpret as follows:
- Pink represents attraction to women and femininity.
- Blue represents attraction to men and masculinity.
- Purple represents attraction to non-binary people or those outside the traditional gender binary.
Omnisexuality falls under the multisexual or non-monosexual spectrum and is closely related but distinct from pansexuality. The community recognizes July 6 as Omnisexual Visibility Day, a day to celebrate and increase awareness for omnisexual individuals. In summary, omnisexual pride celebrates a sexual orientation that encompasses attraction to all genders with an awareness and acknowledgment of gender influencing that attraction. The flag and visibility day are important symbols of identity and community for omnisexual people.
