All About Bisexuality

What do the letters in LGBTQ+ stand for? Believe it or not, there isn’t one “official” or “standard” acronym within the LGBTQ+ community—sexuality and gender identity are deeply personal experiences, and each individual gets to decide what each label means to them. Here’s a quick rundown of the most common terms and definitions that you might run into:

  • Lesbian: A woman or nonbinary individual who feels attracted (romantically, emotionally, sexually, etc.) to other women.
  • Gay: An all-encompassing term used for individuals who are attracted to people of the same gender. This used to be a male-exclusive term, but it’s evolved to include a wider range of people.
  • Bisexual: An individual who experiences attraction to the same gender and at least one more gender identity.
  • Transgender: An individual whose current gender identity doesn’t line up with the gender they were assigned at the time of their birth.
  • Queer: Any individual whose sexuality and/or gender identity doesn’t line up with mainstream/heteronormative standards. While this word has a historical connotation as a slur, it’s since been reclaimed by the LGBTQ+ community.
  • Questioning: A person who is currently delving into their sexuality and/or gender identity to see if they identify as queer.

Are bisexuality and pansexuality the same thing?
Not quite, but they’ve often been used as synonyms of one another. Bisexual individuals feel attraction toward people of the same sex and at least one additional gender identity , while pansexual people feel attraction to individuals of any gender identity . Ultimately, the choice to use the bisexual or pansexual label is a completely personal one.


Common Misconceptions about Bisexuality

  • False: Bisexual people are just confused, not attracted to multiple gender identities.
    • Truth: Bisexuality is a valid and real sexuality. Sexuality is an incredibly personal and subjective construct, and it’s completely not uncommon for someone to be attracted to multiple gender identities.
  • False: Bisexual people are less likely to be faithful in a relationship.
    • Truth: Bisexual people are just as faithful as individuals of other sexualities. Assuming that a bisexual individual will be unfaithful due to their broader array of attraction is unfair and simply untrue. A person’s decision to be faithful/unfaithful is a matter of character, not sexuality.
  • False: Bisexual individuals aren’t true members of the queer community.
    • Truth: Bisexual individuals are valid and loved members of the queer community. Unfortunately, some bi people are made to feel like they’re too queer to be part of the straight community and too “straight” to be part of the queer community. In truth, bisexual individuals are attracted to members of the same gender—because of this, they always have and always will be members of the LGBTQ+ community.
