Bisexual
Bisexuality is romantic attraction, sexual attraction, or sexual behavior toward both males and females. It may also be defined as the attraction to more than one gender, to people of both the same and different gender, or the attraction to people regardless of their sex or gender identity ( ''pansexuality''). The term ''bisexuality'' is mainly used for people who experience both heterosexual and homosexual attraction.
