Description I feel weird submitting this when it didn't take me a grand time to do, but I thought that it was valid at the same time.

A little while back, I got into a conversation with someone about how open I am about my sexuality. I'm pansexual. I don't hide it. I'm pretty sure that people that spend a great deal of time with me will notice the way I am painfully in love with the entire male cast of Supernatural, Olivia Wilde, Mariska Hargitay, Richard Belzer, Robert Palmer, Ru Paul (as himself and in drag), Alex O'Loughlin, Katherine Moennig (I know, who doesn't?), etc.

I'm also sure that just like every other human being, my life doesn't always revolve around who I'm attracted to. Which is why when I asked a friend to answer my phone for me because my hands were full, they were a little shocked to see a picture of a woman in stockings, legs crossed and a banner that reads "Taste Girls".

So I was met with "I didn't know you were... uh..."

It's simple, I'm not trying to be b!tch or anything, but does it really matter? I mean why should anyone care?

Unless you have a crush on me, or I have a crush on you, or you are going to meet/know my significant other I don't feel the need to introduce myself as "Hi, my name is Alika and I'm pansexual." I wasn't hiding it, please don't feel like I came out to everyone except you, but at this point I just assume everyone knows, and if you don't know, don't sweat it. Chances are that who I take to bed won't have much of an effect on your life.

People ask things to satisfy their own curiosity, without considering that someone might not want to answer in the first place or that they are backing someone into a corner.

Especially if you say "it's none of your business" "that's personal" or "it doesn't matter" they will assume your sexuality to be something worth hiding, AKA: gay.

I was in a classroom once where everyone turned to this one guy and asked if his girlfriend was pregnant because that rumor was going around school. Seriously?

Somebody said to me "I'm not a homophobe, I won't be mean, I just want to know!"

"How does it feel to want?" Sarcasm,

Wait what? The guy seriously asked his -girlfriend-?

I had that said to me! And another said "Why didn't you tell me, we used to sit together in French class?", It's like, because it's not your business?...

Have you ever seen the show Degrassi? It's like a show about high school and whatnot. Anyways, there is a gay boy on the football team named Riley, who falls for another gay boy named Zane. Zane is out, while Riley is still in the closet (it causes a lot of strife between them). Long story short, Zane is being auctioned to raise money for the class or something, just like they auction off other boys "win a date with a football player..." that sort of thing. Riley comes partly out when he bids on and "wins" Zane, twice what others paid for their dates.

Afterwards a boy comes up and asks Riley "does this mean you two are dating?"

Zane jumps in to say "no, Riley was just helping a friend."

After the boy leaves (unconvinced), Riley turns to Zane and thanks him for covering.

Zane replies, "it just bothers me that they think they're entitled to an answer."

THAT IS SO FREAKING TRUE!!! THAT IS WHAT I'M GOING TO SAY FROM NOW ON! Because really, people ask thinking that they deserve an answer even when it is NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS.

Thanks for letting me share that quote, I love it now, XD
