Bisexuality is a sexual orientation that involves attraction to both men and women. It is distinct from homosexuality, which is attraction to only the same sex, and heterosexuality, which is attraction to only the opposite sex.
In Tamil, the word for bisexual is "இருபாலினம்" (iru-palinam). This word literally translates to "two-sex" and reflects the idea of being attracted to both genders.
According to the Williams Institute, a think tank at the UCLA School of Law, approximately 5.6% of the US population identifies as bisexual. This means that there are millions of bisexual people around the world.
Bisexuality is often misunderstood and stigmatized. Some people believe that bisexual people are confused or greedy, while others believe that they are simply experimenting. However, bisexuality is a valid sexual orientation that deserves respect and understanding.
