Polysexuality is the term for the attraction towards people of many genders, i.e. more than two, but not all. [1][2]

The flag representing such orientation(s) was designed by Tumblr user Samlin and introduced on 11 July 2012. [1][2] It is a pink-green-blue tricolor, which is supposed to represent all genders: pink color stands for females, blue for males, and green for non-binary (e.g. androgynous, agender, bigender, genderfluid, transgender, intersex) people. The flag is modelled after the flags representing bisexuality and pansexuality , clearly borrowing the shades of pink and blue from the latter of those, while the shade of green is close to FOTW color V--. While its online use has spread to a considerable presence so far, the examples from real life are still very few, the oldest currently recorded one being from the Chicago Pride 2017 [3]. In Israel , it was hoisted in Rothschild Boulevard, Tel Aviv together with many other sexual orientation flags in early June 2018 [4], possibly in honor of the Tel Aviv Pride, which traditionally takes place at that time every year. In Berlin , Germany , the flag was used, together with those representing bisexuality and pansexuality, at the Christopher Street Day 2019.[5][6][7][8][9]
