Democrat Mary Gonzalez was the first lesbian to openly serve in the Texas House of Representatives, and now she’s becoming the first “pansexual,” too.

“During the campaign if I had identified as pansexual, I would have overwhelmed everyone…Now that I’m out of the campaign, I’m completely much more able to define it,” she explained

So what, exactly, is a “pansexual”? And how is it different from “bisexual”?

As Gonzalez defines it, apparently a “pansexual” is attracted to men, women, men who identify as women, women who identify as men, and everything in between

Here, I thought she had a 'thing' for kitchen utensils...

Okay! But can she cook?

Not if she doesn't wash her hands real good first!
