Bisexual

Bisexual means having romantic or sexual attraction towards more than one gender. In older source materials or discussion that does not recognise gender beyond a binary male/female understanding, it refers to attraction towards both males and females.

The Kinsey Scale ranks people on a scale from 0, meaning exclusively heterosexual, to 6, meaning exclusively homosexual. People ranked from 2 to 4 are often classed as bisexual,^[1] while the range from 1 to 5 is more commonly recognised by bisexual advocates and organisations ^[2].
