    Hi, I joined this site because I still haven't fully accepted that I'm attracted to women. You can call me Bi, or queer, or pansexual, but I'm one of those people who doesn't like labels. I have come out to a few people, but still, I have this remaining feeling of shame everywhere I go. I just want to accept the way I am and surround myself with other accepting people.

    Nice to meet you. (*hug*)

    Hey there I'm new too!! And I agree with you I feel like labels really hinder the full human experience of being and living. We should all be us and free to be and love as we desire as long as it's with consenting adults!

    So many friendly people here. Hey! (&&&)

    Kahne5, I haven't gotten used to the word "pansexual", and having to explain what it means if unknowing people ask..but I like to think that our sexualities don't define who we are anyway, they're just a part of the bigger whole.

    Welcome to EC. I don't like Labels either.

    Labels are for Cans.
