Here’s a New One, I Guess Alternative Lifestyle

[Loopy]

Well new one on me anyway.

Bella Thorne revealed via Twitter years ago that she was bisexual, but now the former Disney star has further defined her sexuality.

 

In an interview with “Good Morning America” to promote her new book, “Life of a Wannabe Mogul: Mental Disarray,” Thorne talked about no longer identifying as bisexual.

 

“I’m actually a pansexual, and I didn’t know that,” Thorne said.

 

To the former child star that means “You like what you like.”

 

“Doesn’t have to be a girl, or a guy, or … you know, a he, a she, a this, or that,” Thorne said. “It’s literally, you like personality, like you just like a being.”

A person who is pansexual is attracted to those of any gender. The dictionary defines the term as “not limited in sexual choice with regard to biological sex, gender, or gender identity.”

 

Thorne is not the first celebrity to go public as pansexual.

 

Singer actress Miley Cyrus did so in 2016 as well as “Orange is the New Black” star Asia Kate Dillon (who also identifies as non-binary and uses the pronouns “they/their”) and teen trans-activist and reality star Jazz

 

Thorne, who recently was in the news for tweeting nude photos of herself after a hacker threatened to do so, has been publicly linked over the years in several high-profile relationships with both men and women, including You Tube star Tana Mongeau.

Followers were enthralled recently when Mongeau, who recently become engaged to fellow internet star Jake Paul, started beefing on Twitter.

According to People magazine, Thorne is currently involved in a long-distance relationship with Italian singer Benjamin Mascolo.

“I like sexy girls, I like sexy guys,” she said. “I like sexy in general, you know?”

No doubt a result of the ever changing definition of gender.  Years ago there were only 2 genders, so bisexual was the correct term.  Nowadays people want to present the idea there are more than 2 genders.

No, pan as in "all". Pan-European, Pan-Slavic etc. For example, there are some Pan-Arabists who want to unite all Arab countries into one.

Wow... relationships in the world keep getting stranger.. Used to when I saw a young guy and girl Id be like awe puppy love and would think it was a straight couple.. Now just because its a guy and a girl doesn’t mean theyre straight so they may not identify as a normal straight couple... geez.. 😑

[Qapla]

Hmmmm......

 

It seems that identifying as a "pansexual" has become more popular since the last Star Wars movie. In that movie they presented Lando Calrissian as a pansexual - although their meaning meant any gender, any race/species. In their case it meant alien lifeforms that may not have been "humanoid"  ... now days, on this planet, who knows what they mean

I've heard of "pansexual" for many years.  I'd say that Lando identification is more reflective of modern society's acceptance of it rather than society jumping on a fictional character's i.d.  It's not new, unfortunately.  😕

I never said it was "new" ... just seems more "popular"

Thanks, Nurzat. I was just joking.

 

By the way, Pan is also the scientific name of chimpanzees.

Zees, I didn't know that! 🐒

[minister159]

Prior to this, the strangest sexual identity I had ever heard of, was a quadrasexual. That's someone who will do anything with anybody for a quarter! 

Sorry, I couldn't resist. It's all just a big joke to me anyway.

And 'pan' is what you do with a camera when you want to take in everything.

 

Can this world go any further into the mire?

I'm still not sure why anyone needed to know this...

Not just defined by gender. A straight person is attracted to people of the opposite gender. But if that person is a different race, or has a disability, or has bad scars, a bald spot... People have turn offs too. Pan means physical characteristics are not factors in who you want to be with.

Need to know? We don't; because I doubt it affects any of us.

 

Why do we talk about it? Because it's being talked about. There's no such thing as a useless fact. One never knows when the subject might come up, or when someone might read something new in a book and say: "That applies to me! Oh, I thought there was something wrong with me."  Speaking for myself, I prefer the chance to consider an opinion before I have to face a situation. And since I never know what the situation will be, I try not pay attention in a lot of directions.
