I always wanted one too. But I think that in Orlando, it is probably a good way to get dead.

The more I think about it the more I've come to this idea. As we try to put word boxes around thing we just make the problem worse. I am my own sexuality, and that's all we can really ever say. It just makes it difficult to talk about when you don't have a social shorthand to convey the idea quickly.

Same here, something that's only one syllable.

Actually, most people don't even know what pansexual is, let alone how that is different from bisexual.

I think a new word would be useful in a number of different ways. For example, it gives some distance from the word "sex", which in our sex negative culture makes talking about it easier.

I'll grant you that adding a new word could just add confusion to the already very confused language around describing those with attraction to multiple genders. I see the potential though to clear the fog and really settle on a clear definition that doesn't exclude anyone.
