Bisexuality

The GLAAD media reference guide defines bisexual as, "a person who has the capacity to form enduring physical, romantic, and/ or emotional attractions to those of the same gender or to those of another gender."

While understandings of bisexuality vary for each individual and even amongst researchers, it has been enerally understood that a "hallmark" of bisexuality is "attractions to both men and women." However, what constitutes as an "attraction" is not clear. Some understand attraciton as arousal, while others see it as desire. Lisa Diamond notes that there is "no uniform experience of nonexclusivity", and thus bisexuality encompasses a wide range of identities that may differ and fluctuate over periods of time.
