Abstract
ABSTRACT Although sharing some common concerns with gay, lesbian and heterosexual persons, bisexuals also have specific experiences and needs regarding health and wellness that need to be researched and addressed. This paper outlines a wide range of these specific experiences and needs based on the results of a community consultation which was undertaken with bisexual communities and individuals in Ontario, Canada. The social context of bisexual lives is addressed, including unique issues facing bisexuals, LGBT and bisexual community involvement, and social support, as well as health and wellness issues such as disclosure to health care providers, experiences using services (including LBGT services), barriers to care, and suggestions for change. The paper concludes with recommendations for action in the areas of additional research, service and program development designed to include bisexuals, public education, and education for providers.
