Pansexual

Alaska

Ever since I was a little girl, my mom would always tell me that I could be gay, straight, bisexual, whatever. And that she would love me anyway. And I always believed that.

I don't even remember how I came out as pansexual. It wasn't that big of a deal for me because my mom told me that nothing would change.

But lately I've noticed my mom acting a bit rude towards the fact that I am sexually attracted to women as well as men. I tried to get the cashiers phone number the other day at hobby lobby. And when the girl asked me if I was a lesbian I said "I'm pansexual. But I am attracted to girls" and my mom turns around and says "no youre not. You're straight. Let's go" and dragged me out of the store.

Every time I talk about a girl whether it be about how nice she is or how pretty she is, my mom rolls her eyes and avoids conversation.

Is this normal? Should I not have come out? What can I do to fix this? It's lowering my self esteem and im scares to tell anybody about my sexuality anymore.
