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

Quote: Ms Moran, 37, told PinkNews that she had not previously had same-sex relationships and was “surprised” to find herself attracted to a woman, but added: “Sometimes, when you meet the right person, it just kind of happens.”

She said she was more comfortable with the label “pansexual” than “bisexual” or “gay” because it referred to the idea of love for an individual person for who they are and not their gender or sexual identity.

She sees souls. Pansouls.

Oh for heaven's sake, why does she think anyone gives a damn, idiot woman. Am going to bed.

Biscuit for Layla the See-er of Souls, no the OP!

''Attracted to a woman'' - what is a woman?

Touché!

I saw her Twitter announcement. She appears to be with a woman. So she's a lesbian. And that's lovely.

But if you scroll down and down, you will not see once mention of that word.

Pansexual sounds like some kind of Le Creuset fetish. What's wrong with being a lesbian?

AnyFucker · 03/01/2020 00:48

I wonder if she is attracted to women with dicks

AnyFucker · 03/01/2020 00:49

Utter stuff and nonsense

charis · 03/01/2020 00:51

Ha.
Layla might argue it's someone with a woman's soul though.
I loved the video where she says that. There was someone there with their eyes rolling out of their head at that line and someone on Twitter put crazy circus music to it 😁

alexdgr8 · 03/01/2020 00:59

maybe she really likes cooking....
attracted to copper-bottomed top drawer pans ?
they could give a life-time of satisfaction, if treated well, as they deserve to be treated, so I've heard.
not in that league myself;
but chacun a son gout.

charis · 03/01/2020 01:01

X post lol that's it. Thank you! I could never find it.

Is that why Jeanette Winterson used to get her clients to pay her with Le Creuset pans instead of cash?

I had to look pansexual up earlier this week and explain it to my husband, as someone we know has declared themself to be pansexual. DH said “isn’t that just bisexual?” I had to refer him back to the definition, which was an any sex or gender catch all. 🤷‍♂️ I’m still puzzling over why this person needed to tell us boring old married farts. It’s not like we are in their potential dating pool, so no ‘need to know’, and we’re not bothered who they want to love, date or have sex with. That’s a private matter for them, as far as I’m concerned.

The girlfriend is the ex-head of Lib Dem press who faked an email. Then left her job.

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.

Wow. The story about Rosy Cobb and the faked email is astonishing.
I had completely missed it at the time. It amounts to attempted fraud, and was delivered to OpenDemocracy via the LibDem lawyers.
No wonder Layla Moran's new pangenderual partner was suspended. It doesn't say much for Moran's judgement for her to be singing the praises of a relationship with someone who brought the party into such disrepute a mere month ago.

AutumnCrow · 03/01/2020 02:13

Moran is trying to play a crafty two-hander here - distract from her girlfriend's bizarre track record, and appeal to the younger Lib Dems' insatiable appetite for gender identity immersion.

But she's not that good.

First, it's made me question what role SHE had in Cobb-gate. I wouldn't have thought of pondering that previously.

Second, it's made journalists look her up and they've been reminded of the story of her Flacking her boyfriend in 2013. She's now trying to spin this as being 'More Honest Than Boris', and 'being human', but it's not going to play well out there with the younger crowd for whom she came up with the pansexual label.

theflushedzebra · 03/01/2020 02:17

Wow, I'd never heard about that faked email - possibly because I'd dismissed the LibDems as a party to vote for long ago - but wow.

Layla Moran - pansexual -fine. i guess we're all a little bit pansexual huh? Let's just do away with biological sex and make everything about gender identity huh? Everything else is bigoted. Hmm

Flacking? I can't work out what word autocucumber has substituted.

AutumnCrow · 03/01/2020 02:26

Flacking = slapping

AriadneAufNaxos · 03/01/2020 02:37

Thank you.

The wonders of autocucumber- replace a straightforward word with a word which doesn't exist and capitalise it to boot !

I'm beginning to think there really is a secret order of programmers behind it.

Glenthebattleostrich · 03/01/2020 02:39

Slapping her then boyfriend @AriadneAufNaxos

AriadneAufNaxos · 03/01/2020 02:42

Thanks Glen. I will google it.

GrimDamnFanjo · 03/01/2020 02:44

Lol I thought flacking was a reference to Caroline!!

I hope the libdems steer well clear. Too much baggage with the ex and the current partner leaving her job. Nothing to do with her sexuality which would be better explained as bi imho

AriadneAufNaxos · 03/01/2020 02:53

From a Daily Mail link on this subject posted on the Labour leader thread.

One meaning of pansexual is Tories to remain in power for 20 years.
