Okay, so, pansexuality. I've talked about it before, that I identify as pansexual and it confuses lots of people, like a few friends at school. So I decided to try and explain it in a way that might be more accessible to those who see only three categories: hetero, bi, or homosexual.
I'll start with a little metaphor.
Let's think of drinks. Every drink contains water but you can have thousands of different kinds of drinks. You can have regular water, sodas, tea, coffee, beer, wine. Now, the "straight" person in our metaphor may only like alcoholic beverages. So, they would vary a little bit among the alcohols, but always stay within that category (the differences between beer and wine and such signifying skin color, hair color, preferences like that). The homosexual might like caffinated beverages only. Again, the same applies. They may deviate a little but they always drink caffinated beverages. Then the bisexuals like to sip from both categories, but only those, ignoring things like juices or waters or smoothies or milk. That's where pansexuals come in.
They recognize that every drink tastes different and they appreciate that and recognize that, no matter how different a drink may be, there is still that life confirming water within it.
And while some pansexuals have preferences, just like any other sexuality, they don't limit themselves because of trivial things like the appearance of the bottle.
I revel in the fact that I have the ability to fall in love with whomever I want, regardless of how they identify in their minds or what's in between their legs.
Granted, as my motto is to love is to destroy and to be loved is to be the one destroyed, I don't see myself falling in love anytime soon.
