Pronunciation: /ˌhəʊ.mə(ʊ).ɹə(ʊ)ˈmantɪk/ / /ˌhoʊ.moʊ.ɹoʊˈmæntɪk/

adj

Etymology: From homo- + romantic.

  1. Romantically attracted to those of the same gender.

    Often, however, asexual people will also identify with a particular sexual orientation, minus the sexual aspect, and may define themselves as heteroromantic, homoromantic, biromantic, transromantic or panromantic.

    It does not address other kinds of sexuality such as demisexual (sexual attraction is experienced only when accompanied by a strong emotional attraction), pansexual (attraction across all gender identities and biological sexes. Think “gender blind”), and the romantics (Homoromantic/heteroromantic/aromantic making attraction experienced romantically rather than sexually) among others.
