Layla Moran: Potential Lib Dem leadership candidate becomes first MP to come out as pansexual

I’m pansexual but that Mr Tumnus was a right stalking pITA. As for that bloody pipe

the integrity of a politician in a relationship with an alleged political fraudster.

My reading of the article is the Lib Dem lawyers were using fraudulent evidence supplied by the person Moran is in a relationship with to back up an allegation of criminal behaviour.

And another reason I won't be voting for these troons.

Is Sonia Poulton's video still available? This is the same Rosy Cobb who threatened Sonia - the dodgy dealings surrounding Cobb and the party in relation to A.Challenor are exposed in Sonia's documentary.

Right. Well, that's the LibDems written off for the foreseeable, then.

And people ask why the centralists in Labour don't move to the LibDems 🙄

A Gp friend really hit it on the head recently, there's a desperation to label ourselves these days but it's really fucking up the kids.

Imo There's a need to be special and I blame TV and media.

I was reading my NEU mag (never used to but scan it now for the batshit) and there was a piece urging everyone to self identify as disabled on NEU forms etc. And I saw recently some random tweet that was rt by a respectable local lea advisor that you can self identify as autistic (as well as BAME, trans, gay etc.)

In an ideal world sexuality would be inconsequential. Disability is important to define but the wording leads you to believe anyone can make up a ailment as a disability. I don't think that's quite what the article meant but it's certainly the way this is being interpreted.

That’s nice for you dear.

I was asked about my sexuality by a long term acquaintance recently. She had attended a training day at work (NHS) about this issue.

I explained that I am only intersted in people sexually if I am inspired, impressed and in love with them and that their sex is a secondary issue.

She then informed me that I was pansexual according to the training she had received that day.

Personally I do not consider myself to be pansexual. I believe that being attracted to someone because you are passionate about shared causes, make each other laugh and have fallen in love, rather than about surface issues such as appearance and sex, is a fairly normal and natural state of affairs.

Saying you're pansexual as it's "about the person, not the gender", just screams (internalised) homophobia to me. "I'm still straight, honest, this is just a one off!"

I mean really, who cares?

Heavier than the weight of oppression on us pansexuals? Huh? Thought not!

It's woke signalling. That's all.

The reason Layla came out was a newspaper was threatening to write about her sexuality and relationship without her permission.

No, she came out because a newspaper was threatening to write about her relationship with a woman who had to leave her job in politics due to allegedly helping to cover up sale of member data to an opposing political campaign, likely to scupper Layla's leadership chances.

Also it is silly that someone in a same sex relationship is still considered ‘news’. Why is it any of the press’s business?

It's not. See above. Layla is the one trying to make it about that.

It's a dead cat. Don't fall for it.

Agree the gendered souls, slapping, and faked emails stuff is insane.

But not up for ridiculing someone for how they describe their own sexuality.

To be fair goosefoot I got completely distracted by the second part of your statement

Oh could Cobb (or her departure) be part of the reason that the Lib Dems got slightly less over protective about Aimee? From veiled threats if you raised "concerns" to actually a bit of distancing?

Layla so far shows my 100% record on who I reject when people try to push them on to me as a leader.

Now does anyone know anything about Daisy?

Moran is saying she was told the relationship would damage her career, and it's because they are both women OOH PREJUDICE. The Lib Dems honestly couldn't give a shit about that. I rather imagine the reality is that Moran was told her leadership chances might be damaged by defending a person who faked an email and had to leave her job.

Yes. It's a dead cat.

Even mocking the silly woman with the pansexual and the souls bullcrap is doing what Moran wants.

What she doesn't want is for us to spend this thread questioning the integrity of a politician in a relationship with an alleged political fraudster.

What she doesn't want is for us to tie her to alleged LibDem lawbreaking via sale of personal data to a campaign its members base their entire political identity opposing.

So let's talk about that and not a non-existent sexual orientation (we all know it's hetero, homo, or bi).

Great. The Lib Dem's erasing lesbians and safeguarding.

Won't be getting my vote again.

The don't single our physicists unless you have proof they are more likely to have reality problems than the average scientist! Perhaps they see sex as some wired quantum state, always a little Uncertain?

This is person who studied physics at university, yet believes in gendered souls .

Why oh why do so many physicists support nonsense? I am a physics graduate myself and I always thought evidence and logic was what defines physicists. It's embarrassing.

Rosy Cobb is the one who issued a threat to journalist Sonia Poulton because she asked child safeguarding questions about Aimee Challenor twitter.com/SoniaPoulton/status/1202141855489691648?s=19

blimey. the faked email is astonishing. as is the use of party funds to go after legitimate journalists

the lib dems are a fucking mess

obviously I couldn't give a shiny shit who Layla Moran is in a relationship with and suggest she sticks to talking about things that are relevant. we're not your friends Layla, you talk about that stuff with your friends.

I always picture someone sidling up to a particularly fetching piece of cookware all "what's a nice saucepan like you doing in a place like this?" or muttering "cor, it doesn't half have a big lid" to their mates.

DH was going on about someone in the LibDems coming out and then he said her name and I was like, wait, the one who sees souls? And then had to explain. Will now have to attempt to explain pansexual not being about something you can cook a nice stew in.

I was worried it might be referring to Pan. I’ve heard about ancient gods being adventurous, to put it lightly. Not something I would admit to personally.

SandyDrawsBadly explains pansexual.

I didn't know about the email thing. Now I'm doubly glad I didn't vote for them.
