As Zac Goldsmith fights to be the next Mayor of London against Labour’s Sadiq Khan, he is striving to appeal to all Londoners. Alas, somewhere in the process of doing this, he appears to have got a bit confused.
In an interview with Pink News — the news website aimed at the LGBT community, Goldsmith said that he wanted to be a mayor for everyone, employing the term ‘pansexual’ to try and make his point:
Pink News: Would you like to be the mayor for everyone?
ZG: I would use the term pansexual here, if my understanding is correct.

While Mr S suspects that Goldsmith means that he wants to appeal to all Londoners, given that the term pansexual means not being limited by gender in sexual choice, he may wish to rephrase in future… unless he has something to tell us.
