# bisexuality
[[Bisexuality is a sexual identity ‘defined as attraction to more than one gender’. Some bisexual persons will prefer the terms ‘pansexuality’ or ‘polysexuality’; the meaning remains the same.]][^1]
[[Fox (1995) states bisexuals ‘emphasize individual characteristics rather than gender in selecting a partner’.]][^2]
