The bisexual community, also known as the bi+, m-spec, bisexual/pansexual, or bi/pan/fluid community, includes members of the LGBTQ community who identify as bisexual, pansexual, omnisexual, polysexual and sexually fluid.[1][2] As opposed to hetero- or homosexual people, people in the bisexual community experience attraction to more than one gender.
