I can corroborate this.
Are you coming out?
I've been out as pansexual to my local friends for many years now, but not to my parents (the reason for which I alluded to in the other thread). It doesn't usually come up while talking about DMB here, though.
Interesting! That is, in my punk class last term, one of my students said he identifies as pansexual (I also had two lesbians and one asexual student). What was interesting is that he said that if he hadn't encountered the term/concept, he never would have been able to properly express his identity. Maybe he would have said he was gay, maybe straight. It ended up being a really good discussion about identity and the value of finding those concepts that allow you to express yourself. I talked about it afterwards with a colleague (lesbian) and we both kind of marveled at the diversity of gender identity in recent years. Young people are far more comfortable with that than, say, race.
It's an interesting term because it's a little more at the mercy of shifting winds with terminology and identity. I don't know if it's a word I'll continue to use (not that I do very often), but I find "bisexual" to be too limiting in today's climate.

Oh, and appreciate that you feel comfortable enough to share your personal shit here, pal.
Oh yeah I forgot Tim. I'm not familiar enough with the new group to comment on Rashawn, but I'm VERY familiar with Jeff and his awful goatee from the Flecktones. He's at the bottom for me too.

and thanks!

What about Hootie?
It’s a mistake to separate Hootie from the Blowfish. They may break down into distinct parts, but they are a singular entity. One terrible, absolutely shitty singular entity that makes good people question whether a loving god exists.
I thought DMB = HATBF.
I doubt the Blowfish could jam their way out of a paper bag.

That's the impression I got from him—that bisexual was limiting and the existence of a more open and encompassing word/concept like pansexual just seemed right, or more right. Language catching up to reality.

I definitely like it more than "omnisexual" which seems a little to grand and silly sounding to me.

Omni has that godlike feel to it. Maybe cos of omniscient. The worst thing about pan is connotations with goat legs and Zamfir.

You know what this Zamfir song needs? A bass solo!

Funny, I'd have thought Jaco or Wooten. Hamm is alright but he's a little too rock-leaning for me.

Yeah Wooten was 2nd. I probably should have gone for Geddy Lee or something.
