THE RAINBOW PROJECT

When talking about bisexuality, it is sometimes useful to
distinguish between behavior, attraction, and identity. Someone
who has had sexual experience with or even just attractions to
people of more than one gender can be described as bisexual+, but
may not identify that way. Likewise, one can identify as
bisexual+ regardless of sexual experience. Furthermore,
identities can change over time or be used
in different contexts, whether personal, community, or
political. Definitions change too.
. Does bisexuality
encompass people whose physical, sexual, emotional, and romantic
attractions
change over time? If you are once bisexual+ are you always
bisexual+? If you
are in a long-term relationship, do you stop being bisexual+ and
“become” gay or straight depending on the gender of
your partner? And for each of these questions, who gets to decide?
(The answer
to the question, if you are bisexual+, is YOU and YOU alone!)
