Bisexual people live in every state and are ethnically and racially diverse. Research shows that more women identify as bisexual than men. Bisexual people are parents, teachers, athletes, writers, politicians, musicians, artists, and more. While bisexual people comprise more than half of the lesbian, gay, and bisexual population, they often report higher rates of violence, poverty, discrimination, and poor physical and mental health outcomes in comparison to their lesbian and gay peers.
