homoromantic
Homoromantic refers to a romantic attraction that is directed towards individuals of the same gender. It is a term often used within the LGBTQ+ community to describe someone who experiences romantic feelings for people of their own sex, regardless of their sexual orientation. For example, a homoromantic person may identify as bisexual, pansexual, or asexual while still having a preference for romantic relationships with the same gender.
This concept is distinct from sexual attraction, which involves physical desire. A homoromantic individual may seek emotional connections, companionship, and love with someone of the same gender without necessarily having a sexual component to their relationships. Understanding homoromanticism helps to recognize the diverse ways people experience love and attraction within the spectrum of human relationships.
