Am not trying to be funny or anything incase thats coming across that way. Just, I am not understanding this AT ALL and am actually finding many of the posts trying to explain the difference to be a bit offensive (though its noones right not to be offended..just pointing out that it IS actually coming across as quite biphobic to me..but meh) and very very rooted in stereotypes. Like, do you think gay people would be happy if someone came out with a new word that meant 'gay but cares about personality' and decided that homosexuality was actually about raw sexual attraction..and as a side effect, basically promiscuity. Those who stuck to 'gay' did not care about personality, some may care but its mainly about the 'sexual attraction' than forming actual bonds, and such? Of course they would not. But its fine to say this about bi people, because...? IDK. Apparently theres a reason.

Well if you are exclusively attracted to men, like a gay guy, then that would imply that youre not exclusively attracted to personality like a pan guy.

Being attracted to men and personality would make you gay in the same way that being attracted to men women and personality would make you bi.

There difference with pan is not being attracted to men, women, or anything in between.

I still think youre ignoring the differences vicky.
