Overview
To distinguish biromantic identity (romantic attraction) from bisexual identity (sexual attraction), giving biromantic individuals their own flag within the bi+ spectrum.
The biromantic flag was created by the Pride-Flags DeviantArt account to provide a distinct symbol for biromantic identity, which describes romantic (rather than sexual) attraction to two or more genders. The flag uses the bisexual pride flag's pink, purple, and blue color scheme, with a heart overlay added to distinguish romantic orientation from sexual orientation. [1][2][3]

Discourse & Debates
- Whether split-attraction labels such as biromantic are meaningful for all individuals or primarily useful within asexual and aromantic communities. Some bisexual community members view the proliferation of romantic-split labels as fragmenting bisexual solidarity, while others find the distinction between romantic and sexual attraction personally clarifying.
Common misidentifications
- Can be confused with the bisexual pride flag at small sizes where the heart is not visible
Common confusions
- Biromantic (romantic attraction to two or more genders) is sometimes conflated with bisexual (sexual attraction to two or more genders). The biromantic flag's heart overlay exists specifically to mark this distinction. [3]
Biromantic describes romantic attraction to two or more genders. The split attraction model, which distinguishes romantic from sexual orientation, is the framework that gives biromantic identity its conceptual basis. [3]
