Bisexuality is a sexual orientation where a person is attracted to more than one gender. This attraction can be sexual, romantic, or emotional. Bisexuality is a general term, and there are many differences between individuals. Some bisexual people may be equally attracted to both men and women, while others may have a stronger attraction toward one gender over another. Bisexual people may also identify as pansexual, which means they are attracted to all genders, including cisgender, transgender, agender, non-binary, and other gender non-conforming individuals.
It is important to note that a bisexual identity does not necessarily equate to equal sexual attraction to both sexes. Bisexual people can be in a long-term same-sex or heterosexual relationship, or they may alternate between the two.
Bisexual people can experience discrimination from both straight and gay communities. They may also experience bi-invisibility or erasure and bi-negativity, which may explain evidence suggesting higher rates of health disparities bisexuals experience compared to either.
