I feel privileged to live in a place where I never feel any fear or shame being pansexual.
I never felt the need to come out or tell people… It just never was a big deal to me.
I guess one day I just realized that I was attracted to many different kinds of people and I never even worried about my friends or family not supporting me because I knew that they would.
Many people around the world and even in this country, this state, this city, and this school face this fear, and I live in an environment where it was easy for me to discover, acknowledge, and love that part of myself.
And that’s a privilege.
