MODERATORS
Our identities and labels are something for ourselves to decide. There are no rules that forces any labels on you. You can be homosexual if you feel that fits you. Other might be bisexual or pansexual. Or you can still consider yourself heterosexual.
Your sexuality is not determined by the identity of others. Your partner changing their identity or sexuality does not change your sexuality. Remember, it is just a label. A label is meant to be descriptive of you and allow easier communication of how you see yourself.
Pick a label that you think makes sense for you. Don't let others decide it for you based on their identity.
I should mention that likewise your sexuality does not determine your partner's identity. You can be heterosexual and be attracted to him. The label does not change reality. It is just a general descriptor.
Its just a fucking label, it doesn't strictly have to 'make sense' in every context. Just describe you in general.
