I first ID'd as bisexual, but now consider myself pansexual or sapiosexual.

When I came out, the word I used was gay. That was basically it for my LGBT vocabulary- gay, lesbian, homo. Those were the words I heard at church and school

But later I found a ton of other words for what I am. Culturally, I identify as a dyke. But my sexual orientation is queer, because when it comes down to it that is the one thing all my sexual partners have in common. 99% of the time I am with queer women, and they are the people I love and partner with, but I do have certain limited interactions with queer guys as well.

I came out as bisexual, and I still ID that way, but I usually use the word "queer" to describe myself.

I'm Pansexual. Originally I came out as a Lesbian to my family, my father was okay with it, my mother had a heart attack, my younger sisters were like 'meh' and my older sister referenced the family guy episode where Meg says she's a lesbian and her mother tells her she's not.

I -am- more attracted to women physically, but I've run across scenarios in my life(Two men and two FtM) who made me realize I could love anyone. I'm engaged to a man right now who I've been with for years.

I have a fairly strict priority of personality attraction then sexual attraction blooms off of that, excluding women who physically appeal to me from the start but need a good personality.

Conversational skills also are a huge thing to me. I usually explain my Pansexuality to others as "If a goat had great conversational skills and a great personality, I'd be attracted to a goat". It's a funny way of putting it, but it gets my point across.

I originally came out to my mom as bisexual - which got shot down. She told me I didn't know what I was talking about and that it was just a phase, which was hella offensive. I'm fairly sure she doesn't know I mean in a sexual way instead of a purely mind attracted to mind way. It's both, for me.

I don't think I'll bother coming out to my dad. Not because I don't think he'll take it well, but because I don't really feel the need for some reason.

I originally came out as a lesbian, and now identify as queer. My sexual orientation hasn't changed-- merely the way I look at it. I'm attracted to a particular type of femininity, and when I was younger, I saw the fact that I was attracted to some guys as just the exception that proved the rule: all the guys I was attracted to looked like girls. I prefer queer over bisexual or pansexual because it feels less like I'm invalidating an identity I held for years.

I came out as a lesbian, but now I identify as gender fluid. Some days I just don't feel feminine and feel more masculine and decide to use the men's room. Most people can't really tell the difference, but I can feel the difference. I first identified as a gay female and then began to feel that when I felt masculine and more male that I was straight and functioned as a straight male with my girlfriend. I still haven't actively told everyone that I feel masculine and more male most of the time because I'm a bit weary of how they'd react, but my girlfriend is just as fluid with my fluidity as I am and accepts it openly, though when I met her, I hadn't told her yet.
