Diamoric, also known previously as Dionysian[1], is a term used by non-binary individuals to describe their orientation.
Diamoric can also be used to describe a relationship, of which one or more of the individuals are non-binary and so the relationship is neither straight or gay, due to one or more of the parties being non-binary.[2]
History
On June 13, 2016 the term Dionysian was coined by Tumblr user Androgyne-Enjolras (Now Marlowelune)[1]. The term is derived from Dionysus who was historically associated with gender variance[3]. There were some individuals who thought it was rude to use the name of a Hellenistic god. On July 5th there was a poll for an alternate to Dionysian, the options being appellic and diamoric.[4] On July 14th the results of the poll were posted, with the results in favor of diamoric.[2]
The diamoric flag has two green stripes on the top and bottom, representing non-binary individuals. In the middle it has a white stripe to match the achillean and sapphic flags, with a purple myrtle in the center.
Between June 13th and June 26, 2016 four flags were created by Milith Rusignuolo via the Tumblr blog Dionysiansuggestion. These flags were all very similar, with all of the having the purple myrtle and the only differences being the color of the top and bottom stripes. Soon the flag that caught on was the one with light green stripes.[5]
