biphobia
Biphobia is aversion toward bisexuality and bisexual people as a social group or as individuals. People of any sexual orientation can experience or perpetuate such feelings of aversion. Biphobia is a source of discrimination against bisexual people, and may be based on negative bisexual stereotypes or irrational fear.
== Etymology and usage ==
''Biphobia'' is a portmanteau word patterned on the term ''homophobia''. It derives from the English neo-classical prefix ''bi-'' (meaning "two") from ''bisexual'' and the root ''-phobia'' (from the (ギリシア語:φόβος), ''phóbos'', "fear") found in ''homophobia''. Along with ''transphobia'', ''homophobia'' and ''biphobia'' are members of the family of terms used when intolerance and discrimination are directed toward LGBT people.
''Biphobia'' need not be a phobia as defined in clinical psychology (i.e., an anxiety disorder). Its meaning and use typically parallel those of ''xenophobia''.
The adjectival form ''biphobic'' describes things or qualities related to biphobia, whereas the noun ''biphobe'' is a label for people thought to harbor biphobia.
