When I came out to my mom as pan about a year ago, I was terrified, even though I knew she’s always been very open to everyone’s opinions and sexualities. I was so anxious that I messaged her instead of telling her face to face. I just messaged her that I had a girlfriend and that I thought I’m pansexual. She, as always, was very open about it and she never talked to me about it again. She hasn’t even treated me differently.
