Biromantic

Biromantic describes a person who feels romantic attraction to two or more genders, which may differ from who they are sexually attracted to.

Biromantic describes someone who experiences romantic attraction to two or more genders. It sits within the idea of romantic orientation, which many people treat as separate from sexual orientation. A person's romantic orientation is about who they want to fall in love with, be affectionate with, or build a relationship with, while sexual orientation is about who they feel sexual attraction to. The two often line up, but not always. Someone can be biromantic and asexual, meaning they are drawn romantically to multiple genders while feeling little or no sexual attraction. The term helps people describe their feelings more precisely when the heart and the body do not point in the same direction.
