Liberal Democrat MP Layla Moran has announced she is pansexual and in a relationship with a woman. The MP for Oxford West and Abingdon, who previously only had relationships with men, told PinkNews she is in a relationship with ex-Lib Dem press officer Rosy Cobb.

Pansexuality describes those who are attracted to a person regardless of their sex or gender. “It’s about the person themselves,” said Ms Moran, Speaking to the PinkNews website, Ms Moran – a potential candidate to become the next Lib Dem leader – also criticised Parliament as a “weird, backwards place” for LGBTQ people.

She said coming out in the context of being an MP had been “slightly more difficult” than telling her friends and family. The MP also shared a picture of herself and Ms Cobb on Twitter, writing that she is now “just happy”.(BBC)…[+]
