When I came out, my friends were actually very accepting and supportive of me. Since last year, I knew I wasn’t 100 percent straight, but I wasn’t 100 percent gay either; labeling myself as bi didn’t feel right either. For a few months, I identified myself as ace, but deep down inside I love people regardless of their gender. I came out as pansexual to my mom yesterday, and she was fortunately very supportive of me. I’m still kind of questioning my sexuality, but right now, I identify myself as pansexual. (F/17/Pansexual)
