one of my friends is utterly convinced of my homosexuality, and is constantly attempting to prove it. your poem about being pan has helped me, as a (mostly) closeted bisexual, to realize i'm not the only one to deal with this. thank you for everything xoxo

You aren’t alone. Every single pan/bi/poly person I know has experienced exactly what you’re going through. People seem to think they have a right to define other people’s sexualities for them.

Your feelings are valid, your sexuality is valid, and your friend needs to learn to respect you, or else they aren’t a very good friend.
