bisexuality
n. the sexual attraction to both genders, opposite and the same.
A bisexual is someone who exhibits bisexuality.
Bisexuality is one of the more commonly misunderstood of all sexualities, next to transsexuality. Some of the most common misconceptions is that it is a passing phase, whether into homosexuality (being gay) or from that into heterosexuality (being straight). Most often bisexual people are considered confused, and wierd, and many misinformed people are convinced that one can only be gay or straight.

queer

1. adj.
(a) strange, unusual
(b) gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered
2. n.
A member of the lgbt community.
Background:
Originally, "queer" was simply just another word for strange, unusual, or wierd. When gay people first started coming out of the closet, they were seen as strange, unusual, and diseased. Thus, the word "queer" began denoting someone who is gay, lesbian, transgendered, or bisexual. Recently, it has been adopted by many people in the LGBT commnunity as an acceptable umbrella term. However, not all people are comfortable using it.
