December 8 celebrates Pansexual Pride Day. Pansexual means that someone can feel an attraction to anyone, including individuals who do not identify as a specific gender.
It is represented by the pink, yellow, and blue flag (as pictured). The pink stripe represents attraction to female-identified people. The blue represents attraction to male identified people, and the yellow stripe represents non-binary attraction.
How to Observe Pansexual Pride Day in the Workplace

Educate: There is a video on Pansexual Pride Day that can be used to learn more about the pansexual community. To learn more about different sexualities, read our article “What are the Different Sexualities?”.
