:purple_heart: Let's start! :purple_heart:

:tulip: ~So, ever since I was 7 I made it clear that I loved everyone, even if it was only hugging boys and then girls. Or if my mum asked if I was going to have a husband I would say "I want a girl husband!"~ :tulip:

:yellow_heart: Coming Out :yellow_heart:

:sunflower: ~I first came out as Pansexual at 11 or 12 to my schoolfriends and they accepted me, but I didn't tell my parents. Then I was scared I was going to be judged for being a lesser-known sexuality so I said I was Bisexual, my friends accepted that and so did my family. Then I felt more romantic towards girls so I labelled myself Lesbian, my friends accepted me, my family made jokes about me being genetically wrong because I was a Lesbian, and they made jokes that I couldn't make my mind. Then I decided I would tell them the truth.~ :sunflower:

:green_heart: My Parents & Friends :green_heart:

:hibiscus: ~I told my friends I was actually Pansexual but too scared to tell them and they were fine with it, then I told my mum and I explained to her why I didn't tell her and what Pansexuality was. She respected it and is still learning about it now. My dad on the other hand said that there is only Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual and nothing else, that made me angry.~ :hibiscus:

:rose: ~•(But I'm flaunting my Pansexuality to him whenever he brings LGBT+ stuff up. I decided that I'm not going to hide my Pansexuality because of someone's opinion.)•~ :rose:

:blue_heart: My Uncle :blue_heart:

:blossom: ~Okay, my Uncle is quite narrow-minded when it comes to this kind of stuff. He said he's fine with Lesbian, Gay, Bi, and Trans but all the genders out of the binary Male and Female are mental illnesses, there's not such thing as Pansexual, Omnisexual, Demisexual, or any other sexualities or romanticisms apart from Lesbian, Gay, Bi and Trans. That's his opinion. And I hate it. When I said I was Bi he told me I need to be older to decide, when I told him I was Lesbian he started making "jokes" about me being genetically wrong because I like the opposite sex. I don't know if I'm ever going to tell him I'm Pansexual. If I do get Pansexual t-shirts and badges I will show them to him.~ :blossom:

:two_hearts: School :two_hearts:

🏵~I came out as Pansexual in my PSHEE class, people weren't rude about it. My BULLY asked what it was and my best friend Peter told him and he just said "Aaah, okay." Which made me feel kind of warm inside.~🏵
