What Does ‘Bisexual’ Mean?
Bisexual people are attracted to both men and women. A bisexual person may not be equally attracted to both sexes, however, and the degree of attraction may vary over time and as one’s sexual identity develops.
Not everyone who feels attracted to both men and women is comfortable with the label bisexual. Some choose to identify as gay, lesbian or straight, or with other terms such as bi-curious, pansexual, omnisexual or simply not straight. Some people, who are working to understand their sexuality, may identify as questioning. And some people prefer not to assign a label to their sexual orientation at all.
