Bisexuality: The Myths and Medical Truths

It is estimated that there are 8.8 million gay, lesbian and bisexual people in the United States. Researchers have found that bisexual women fare the worst in health when compared with heterosexuals, gay men and lesbians. The state of Massachusetts has taken the lead in looking at this health disparity, and early indications point to systemic stigma and invisibility among bisexual women as its causes.

Both Orientations Homo and Hetero have the ability of being attracted to the opposite sex, therefore bisexuality is not a 3rd sexual orientation, if bisexuials have these problems then maybe it has to do with the fact that they won't define themselves. I don't know of any bisexual who has a same sew partner, many however have opposite sex partners [Making them fundamentally heterosexual]. I'm a lesbian & every bi woman I met was m,arried to a man. So what do you want?
