If you ask the Oxford English Dictionary, pansexuals are a subset of bisexuals. bisexual, adjective: sexually or romantically attracted to people of more than one sex or gender pansexual, adjective: sexually or romantically attracted to people without regard to their sex or gender If you ask Wiktionary, bisexuals and pansexuals are two non overlapping sets of people (though see the usage notes). bisexual, adjective: sexually attracted to both opposite-sex and same-sex individuals pansexual, adjective: someone who is attracted to all types of people regardless of gender or sex
