Bisexual Awareness Week: Dispelling Common Myths
Bisexual Awareness Week is a time to learn about bisexuality.
One myth is that bisexuals like only men and women, but they can be attracted to more than two genders.
Another myth is that bisexuals are always equally attracted to each gender, which isn't true.
Attraction varies from person to person.
Bisexuals are sometimes wrongly seen as promiscuous, but attraction to multiple genders doesn't define a person's actions.
It's important to understand and respect the experiences of bisexual people.
Bisexual Awareness Week aims to debunk common myths about bisexuality.
The definition of bisexuality includes attraction to more than two genders.
Bisexual individuals don't necessarily feel equal attraction to all genders.
Attraction varies, and is not a fixed ratio.
Bisexuality does not determine a person's sexual practices.
