Bisexual

12th August 2016 Mark Ward

Bisexual people have the capacity to love people of their same gender or of a different gender. This can include physical, sexual, and emotional attraction, and/or relationships. Over time in life, a bisexual person might feel attracted to men, women, transgender people, and/or genderqueer people, or to one gender in preference to the others. The strength of these attractions may change over time. Being bisexual does not define either one’s lifestyle or sexual behaviour. Bisexual people may be men, women, transgender, or genderqueer. They may be monogamous or abstinent or may have multiple sexual partners, just like heterosexual and lesbian and gay people. Many people are bisexual and bisexuality cuts across distinctions of race/ethnicity, gender identity, age, class, ability, and religious affiliation. You are not alone, and you are likely to meet bisexual people just about anywhere you go.

Welcome to the Index!

Bisexuality exists. It’s real, and it’s simple.

The Bisexual Index is here to point this out to people, to highlight biphobia and to direct you to the UK’s bisexual community.

Can you back the exciting new book about bisexuality coming out soon? Find out more about “Purple Prose” here

Maybe you’re here because you did a search for “how do you know if you’re bisexual“? Is a friend or family member bicurious? Do you want to know where your local bisexual group is? Or maybe you’ve heard about, or even read, 2012’s Bisexuality Report? We hope that you’ll find useful information on this website.

Across the UK people are working to improve the rights of the LGBT community. Does your organisation want input from the bisexual community? Do you work in the LGBT sector but want to represent bisexuals better? Do you want a UK bisexual speaker for your event?

Please contact us – we offer training on bi issues and bi awareness.

Bisexuality isn’t complicated, or hard to understand, but people’s attitudes to bisexuality can be tangled.

We’re here to cut through that knot.

We are the largest Bisexual Organisation on Twitter – are you following us there yet? We post updates on our work, links to bisexual news and retweet a host of other bisexual accounts that you need to read.
