Danell Leyva, Olympic gymnast, on coming out as bisexual, or perhaps pansexual: “I hope to one day live in a world where your sexuality is as irrelevant as whether you’re right or left-handed. You know, it’s such a non-issue. It literally means nothing that if you’re just like, ‘Oh, you’re left-handed? That’s cool. Oh, you’re bi? That’s cool. The only way we can do that, we can achieve that, is by making it normal, by doing things like what I did by coming out publicly.” [But] I didn’t think it was gonna blow up the way it did. In the post, I said that I’m still trying to figure out between whether I’m bi or pan. It was nice to have people be like, ‘You don’t have to label it. You don’t have to just be ‘a thing.’ It’s an ever-changing fluid thing, so you don’t have to worry about that.’ That was nice because that was certainly reassuring.” Welcome out, Dannell, and please accept a sour gift the Official Coming Out Toaster Oven™ and a copy of the Gay Agenda ... which includes our pansexual friends. You don't need any label, well, except for the 'bendy' one ... cuz you are so bendy. photo |
