Ahh ok I need some help... and you guys seem perfect. I have two friends at school who both came out as pan (imma fake name them Emily and Lily). Emily came out to me in year 7 (i think thats grade 6) and only a few people know. We are all in year 8 now (i think grade 7). There’s this kid in our class who’s REALLY ho

*sorry again 🤦🏼‍♀️: and her family is REALLY homophobic. Apparently she had an uncle who came out gay and was disowned by her family. Her cousins who she spends lots of time with and the rest of her family wouldn’t accept it if she came out to them. I don’t know what to do or say to her because for some reason it just feels wrong to me that she can’t tell people that she should be able to tell. So if anyone has any advice on this, please let me know. Also, I do support the LGBTQ community fully, no matter what people say. Have a great day! ❤️

I am definitely asexual but am also aromantic questioning. I was questioning gender for a while but have come to the conclusion/realization that i’m just a cis girl and that’s okay too.

@sunshine5 Hello!! I have no idea if anyone has answered you yet, but the difference between those are a little simple but can be complicated.

Pan- Pansexual. This is a label that people who like more than one gender use. the definition can depend on the person, but from what i understand, it means that you don't have attraction based on physical attributes. You like people for their personality, and their body is out of the question when forming a crush. Now, don't quote me on that. Pan is something that a lot of people have different opinions on, so what I say could be completely different from what someone else says.

Queer is a sl*r that many use to define themselves. when people say "im queer" that usually means they're saying it in place of what they identify as. If someone was to ask me my gender expression and sexuality, I would just say queer because I don't like going into depth over it. Other people who know they're apart of the LGBT+ community but don't really know what they are can use the term as well. So if someone is a lesbian, but doesn't like using the term or doesn't feel like the label fits, they can say they're queer!

It also has a bad history. A lot of people don't like it at all and refrain from using it. If you use the term queer and you are not LGBT, that's a big no no. many people take offense to that, so only use it in reference to yourself (if applicable) or get special permission from a friend, etc.

Asexial means you have no sexual attraction. Many teens and young adults start... uh.... thinking about scoodling.... but some don't! Asexal basically means if the idea of anything sexual repulses you, then there you go! If you're not sure what is and isn't considered so, just think if it could make it into a disney movie. Could this interaction between to people make it into a disney movie? if yes, then it's probably romantic/platonic. If not, then there ya go!


If you have any more questions please ask!

@sunshine5 I agree with @Deer-Teeth. The main thing that most people get from the word pansexual is that it means one likes others (romantically) for their personality, not gender nor physical body. More specifically, at least in my experience, pansexual means one can like or be attracted to anyone regardless of their gender. That includes people who identify as male, female, non-binary, and any other gender that another person could identify themselves as. Personally, that's the definition I think of when I hear pansexual. But as @Deer-Teeth explained this definition might vary between people. Also, pansexual is different from bisexual. A lot of people get this confused, which is perfectly fine! But it's important to learn the difference of the terms. While pan basically means attraction to any/all genders, bi means attraction to specifically people who identify as male or female. Simply put, someone who is bisexual likes both girls and boys.

It's also good to mention that, as is possible with most of the LGBTQ+ identifications, a person can be a combination of pansexual and asexual, demisexual, or (correct me if I'm wrong) aromantic. For instance, I could be pan asexual, which means I could pursue a relationship with anyone at all (regardless of gender) but not be physically/sexually attracted to them. Just like someone could be a demisexual lesbian or a bi asexual. I hope this helps!

Also, anyone who reads this, if I said anything that was incorrect, rude, or disrespectful, it is simply because I'm not completely educated on the social aspect of the community, so please let me know if I did! I'm 100% open to learning and correcting myself 😊❤️

@llama1013 that's where I disagree with you, just on the bi part. Bisexual can mean attraction to male or female, but inherently to go with the debate of bi-pan, bi means you see physical features and can be attracted to someone based off of them, and Pan means that its more so personality.

also, people can say that they are Bi because pan is highly debated about. I love people of all genders, no matter what. what I'm attracted to is the personality, not the physical attributes. but I still Identify as Bi because of the heavy debate on the two. For some people (such as myself) its a lot easier and causes less harm (the debate of pan people being "special snowflakes" mentally can mess with you)

But yes!!!! With asexual, aromantic, demi, poly, etc. those can be "add on's" as i call them. I have no sexual attraction, and I don't like the idea of any of that. So technically, my identity would Be a Panromantic-asexual, because romantically I'm attracted to people by personality, but I'm not attracted to people sexually.

@sunshine5 but like i said before, sometimes labels like that can get to be too much, so just go with what feels right!!

With aromance, its the same way. So lets say I'm aromantic-homosexual. That means im attracted to the same sex sexually, but have no desire for any romantic relations. These terms are used to be more specific on what you are, but you don't have to use the terms if you don't want to, even if you fit in the category. Sexuality and gender are all fluid, so there might not be a specific label out there for you, and that's fine!!

@Deer-Teeth Okay thank you for clarifying! I understand what you're saying, and I actually do agree with you now. I just hadn't thought about it in that sense before. In all honesty, I'm questioning (I used to consider myself ace, while now I think I'm demisexual), and I have trouble understanding physical attraction, which is why I didn't think of that aspect concerning bi-pan. I see what you mean and it makes more sense to me. Again thank you for explaining!

@llama1013 No problem!! That's why I said that the label depends on person to person, for people who identify as pan, some of them only identify as so because their definition of Bi is the attraction to two genders, and they're attracted to everyone. I was just saying that i disagree with that idea, but you're not necessarily wrong!!

Also, there are many people on here that you can ask questions about including myself!! so if you are questioning anything with yourself, or just have questions about labels n such, im always available!
