March 13, 2020: With the events of the past week I came out yesterday as #pansexual, while introducing myself on a Facebook message forum for a new Kwantlen University Pride Collective page started by my friend @rpjey.
I figure if I can announce it there, I can announce it here. This is the first time I’ve used the word pansexual to describe myself. I have thought I was #bisexual in the past but was never that comfortable with the term. But the term pansexual, as its defined, feels 110% true to who I am and to whom I have always been.
For those not familiar with the term, Wikipedia says: “Pansexuality, or omnisexuality, is the sexual, romantic or emotional attraction towards people regardless of their sex or gender identity. Pansexual people may refer to themselves as gender-blind, asserting that gender and sex are not determining factors in their romantic or sexual attraction to others.” So here I am, walking the seawall, more free and confident than I have ever felt. More compassionate and mindful of myself and the world around me. I can’t believe last Sunday I was so close to ending it.
I’m Steven Hanju Lee and I’m a pansexual interdisciplinary artist with a long, bright future ahead of me.

March 13, 2020: Okay I’m gonna create a new rule for my #selfie #project: on my birthday I am allowed to do multiple posts even though my main rule for this is one selfie post per day. But my birthday isn’t until April 15 and since coming out is like a new birthday, this will count as my second post of the day as I’ll always consider this as my second birthday!
#Pansexual #comingoutday #celebration #dinner @marcellos_ristorante on @commerciald in the @cityofvancouver. Maybe not the best for my #diabetes but I taking half of the amazing #carbonara home.
Oh and @pattatista you wanted more happy and less sad, well here we go!
It’s been 1 day since my last emotional breakdown.
