Tess Holliday Comes Out As Pansexual

Model Tess Holliday  came out as pansexual in Nylon magazine’s July cover issue . 

Holliday, 33, revealed her sexuality with a funny anecdote about a recent vacation to Mexico. The body-positive activist said she was sitting at the hotel’s pool bar when a man came up to her and asked: “Are you bi?”

“I said, ‘Thank you so much for asking. I’ve been thinking a lot about my relationship to my own queerness, and I think the word pansexual speaks to me more than bi does,’” Holliday told Nylon in an article published Monday. 

Turns out, Holliday continued, that the man was a waiter and was simply asking “Are you buying?”

Holliday said that she feels more comfortable with herself now that she’s figured out she’s pansexual, which means she’s attracted to a person regardless of their sex or gender identity.
