[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kid's friend's sexual orientation has ZERO impact on you.

Maybe she's being dramatic, or maybe she's articulating her sexual orientation.

Either way, butt out. [b]Also, consider that you're not as tolerant as you think you are[/b]. [/quote]

OP here.  I know this is anonymous forum, and I know there is no way to prove my tolerance.  My best friend and nephew are both gay, and our church has openly gay and lesbian leaders.  As a PP indicated which I agreed to, I am most concerned that this girl's dramatic tendencies, which I have witnessed and heard through my DD.

pp here- I kind of get where you're coming from- someone asked why it's relevant if she's doing it for attention or if she truly believes this is who she is. It is relevant because it changes the dynamic. In short, if OP's DD decides this girl is too dramatic and narcissistic to be friends with, and ends the friendship for those reasons, and after the pansexual announcement- how do you think the friend is going to characterize that, especially since she may be looking for attention and an opportunity to play the victim? 
The best thing OP's DD can do for self preservation, is give this minimal attention and neutral comments to see if it sticks or fades, then end the friendship later when it's not a hot topic. [/quote]
