ABSTRACT
The negotiations and choices open to bisexual Christians differ substantially from gay and lesbian Christian, hence the need for a nuanced understanding of what it means to identify as both bisexual and Christian. The aims of this section are two-fold: To explore how bisexual Christians define their sexuality self-definitions of bisexuality, and to understand how respondents settled upon such definitions in order to identify as bisexual and Christian adapting bisexuality. The overriding theme which comes from the research is that bisexual Christians believe Christianity is about the promotion of good moral values and following the teachings of Jesus and the Gospels, rather than the Bible in general. Being both Christian and bisexual situates the individual in a precarious theoretical quandary enclosed within the binary understanding of human sexuality with no space for negotiation. Homosexuality is therefore justified as God-given just as is heterosexuality, leaving bisexuality as being seen to actively deny the choice to be heterosexual.
