Bisexual people have always been a driving force in the LGBT community and are leaders within local, regional, and national organizations and issue-based campaigns. Every day, bi people work side by side with the larger LGBT community to affect change and equality.
What does it mean to be bisexual? Some people who have the capacity to be attracted to people of any gender choose other words to describe their sexual orientation such as: bisexual, pansexual, polysexual, omnisexual, fluid, or queer. Some people prefer to avoid any label at all. Given the lack of understanding of even the word bisexual, it’s best to only use alternate words if someone specifically self-identifies that way and asks for their preferred term to be used.
