So what are your thoughts...

This isn't a political thread, just want people's thoughts on the matter.

I've decided that I'm pansexual, which means I don't discern between any gender when choosing an attractive companion, and would even be open to dating other gay or transgender or gender-fluid individuals. At this point it becomes all about the person and what kind of relationship we want to have.

The thread's not about me, but what your thoughts are on such situations.

Have fun!

What you "have decided recently" may have been a long time coming anyway. It had just taken this long to realize it. Maybe do down it had always been so. At any rate it is your decision to make. I will say this that I have said to one other person in my life one time.

Make sure you are doing what you are doing for the right reasons. Don't do it because it's popular or hip. There are peoples lives at stake that have already made up their minds in who they are long ago. No matter who you think you are it's not cool to play with people's lives.

I'm not saying you are this "player". I'm just saying make sure firsthand.

Otherwise, if you are secure in yourself then more power to you. Best of luck. It's really not my place to give you my blessing or my condemnation.

Well, noted actually. I'm not 100% sure on it, but there are definitely times I've felt that way, so mostly I'm open to all possibilities.

Heritage, you are free to make your own choices and you should.
If I have an alternative opinion as a fundamentalist Christian or just a human being, it doesn't make me a phobe or a bigot.
If I debate your views, or respond without labels, shaming, sarcasm or condemnation, please return in kind.
We all have a unique path in our lives to find answers and I sincerely hope you find yours.
You are no better nor worse than I am; we all sort of flop around in the dark until the light comes on, it is just the pride and arrogance in most of us just won't allow us to admit it.

I don't think who we are attracted to is a choice, but whether or not we choose to act on it sure is.
I certainly wouldn't (and don't) squash who I am for societal conventions, but I would put the brakes on myself if my actions go against a personal boundary or harm innocent ones.
For example, I am attracted to a married coworker. He will never know, and I have been professional in any dealings with him. That is aligned with my belief system, a boundary I will not cross.
Other societal 'norms' I may cross in a nanosecond.:rolleyes:

I would wish you much happiness and encourage you to live your life in whatever way makes you happy.
