Pansexuality: The attraction to the personality, not the gender. This typically means they are open to a partner of any gender, but not always.
Polysexuality: The attraction to multiple, but not necessarily all, genders.
Bisexuality: The attraction to the two defined genders: male and female. This TYPICALLY does not include genderqueer, questioning, non-binary, etc.

Bi is where you like guys n girls. Pan...my understanding is...you like a person based on personality. It doesnt matter their gender, race, sexuality, none of that. So it can be same sex, opposite, they can be straight, bi, gay, trans its only based on personality.
Poly...not sure

That's a very good question. Sexual orientation has become very confusing as of late, because this era has changed sexual freedoms dramatically, with so allowing for the LGBT+ community to both explore and openly express its ambiguity. No longer is there merely "straight or gay." Now, there are several dozen flavors. Regarding the before-mentioned sexualities, Nonbinary.org's wiki described them as such:
* Pansexuality: an attraction (romantic, sexual, or emotional) toward people of any sex or gender identity
* Polysexuality: an attraction to multiple sexes and gender
* Bisexuality: an attraction (romantic, sexual, or behavioral) toward both males and females

Pansexuality is pretty much gender blind. They can be boy girl transgender who cares?! Bisexual is only boys and girls. Poly is more than one gender.

A Pansexual likes the personality of the individual, independently of the gender. A Polysexual likes any kinds of gender. And a Bisexual likes man or woman

Pansexuality is when one experiences sexual attraction to people of all genders. (Gender is not a factor that matters to them in the way of sexual attraction.) Polysexuality is in which one experiences sexual attraction to some genders, but not all genders. (Usually, three or more genders.) Bisexuality is in which one experiences sexual attraction to two genders.
