Completely agree with Stan Lee on this. Characters should stay who they are, try and change that and you are just ruining a character. If wou want characters with different sexualities or ethnicities or whatever just create new ones, don't ruin the ones that already exist.

Well, here is some food for thought. Most of the superhero characters went through changes and reboots and storylines that are drastically different from each other. After and way before they started making movies and TV shows out the comics. So why stop now? 

I don't see how expanding Spider-man's sexuality is a big deal. If anything, he is that kind of a guy. "Hey guys! I kissed a boy and I liked it!". It sounds like something spider-man would say.

That's more of a Deadpool thing, but I get your point. Spider-Man is quirky and funny most of the time, so that could go up his alley. I'm not against a pansexual change. Hell, I'd be up for it. But would that be credible for the storyline? I mean, would a pansexual Spider-Man bring something relevant for the overall storyline? I believe it can bring an interesting side story, but I personally wouldn't want them to make it a selling and marketing point. Not to mention nitpickers and haters spewing their hatred all over the internet just to end that story because they want it to go back to normal.

Spider-man is very popular overseas, they won't just make him pansexual or kiss a guy. Too much risk. Let alone making it a selling point, it won't happen. All of what I am saying is based on "what if...". I know they will never do it though.
