Bisexual
Bisexual refers to a person with both heterosexual and homosexual desires. Bisexuality is in direct conflict with biblical teachings.
In a national survey, 90% of men aged 18–44 considered themselves to be heterosexual, 2.3% as homosexual, 1.8% as bisexual, and 3.9% as 'something else' (Mosher, Chandra, & Jones, 2005).[2]
A 2003 poll done by Ellison Research of Phoenix, Arizona stated that 82% of all American Protestant ministers agreed with the statement “homosexuality is a choice people make".[3]
However, the Catholic Catechism states regarding the issue of homosexuality and choice:
"The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. They do not choose their homosexual condition; for most of them it is a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. The persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition" (CCC 2358).
Dr. Alfred Kinsey developed a scale that ranks sexual desires from 0-6, describing those desires that are neither exclusively hetero- or homosexual as "ambisexual" or bisexual. Kinsey proposed that most people are neither exclusively heterosexual or homosexual, but rather fall into the more gray areas at either end of the scale. For example, having a ranking of one would indicate that you are predominately heterosexual, but incidentally homosexual. [4]
Bisexuality in Africa
According to Michael Fumento, German anthropologist Kurt Falk reported in the 1920s that bisexuality was almost universal among the male populations of African tribes he studied. [1]
