One of my favorite pansexuals, Ashley Mardell, askes her queer viewers if they could ever truly be friends with straight women. Interestingly enought, 40% of them said that after coming out they hugged their straight friends less. Maybe we need to start communicating more so there is less perceived sexual tension. We could all use more amazing straight supportive friends!
