Layla Moran, currently leading the polls top become the new Liberal Democrat leader has come out as 'pansexual', and sent most of us scurrying to Google to find out exactly what that means.
I have heard of being homosexual, bisexual, heterosexual and even asexual but pansexual was a new one to me but apparently it means 'a sexual, romantic or emotional attraction towards people regardless of their sex or gender' which sounds suspiciously like being bisexual to me but then what do i know.
Miss Moran has said she had previously only had relationships with men and it was a surprise to her when she started a relationship with a woman about six months ago, adding that: 'her sexuality was not about physical attributions of the person you fall in love with, it's about the person themselves'.
Who you go to bed and wake up beside does not make you a good or bad politician and is nobody else's business except for the couple concerned but i'm sure the churchy types will drop their rosary beads in horror but Moran's words are absolutely correct, the most important thing is the person you fall in love with, be they male or female.
My only concern is keeping up with the new sexual orientation terminology as i have also heard of people being polysexual, heteroflexible and homoflexible but it was so much easier when someone was either homosexual or heterosexual or swung both ways to be bisexual, that i could get my head around but maybe i'm just showing my age.
