A Bisexual Gay or Biromantic Gay (Bi-Gay for short) is someone who is both bisexual and gay.

This term can be used by men and others who use the split attraction model and are bisexual and homoromantic, or those who experience gay tertiary attraction. They have sexual attraction to two or more genders but are only romantically attracted to their own/similar gender(s). They may find themselves sexually attracted to dissimilar genders, but could never picture themselves in a sexual relationship with them, putting more emphasis on their attraction to their own/similar genders, though this varies from person to person. Or they could be romantically attracted to any gender but only sexually attracted to the same/similar gender or are only willing to be with the same/similar gender(s) sexually.

It can also be used by people who identify as both bisexual and gay, either due to changing attraction (such as abrosexuality), or due being part of plural system.

Additionally, the term can apply to men and others who are bisexual and prioritize attraction to or have a strong preference for their own/similar gender(s), or for people who are reclaiming the historical definition of gay alongside identifying as bisexual.

This identity could be combined with any m-spec identity, i.e. poly gay, multi gay, pan gay, or omni gay.

+It can also be used by people who identify as both bisexual and gay, either due to changing attraction (such as [[Abrosexual|abrosexuality]]), or due being part of plural system.
-The term is also sometimes use when one is bi, but prioritizes their attraction to men or has a preference for men, although this definition has been criticized for being reductive of the word bi. It perpetuates the misconception that bi people who prefer the same sex or are dating the same sex are "basically gay". The term bi [[achillean]] or [[homoflexible]] can be used to more accurately describe this identity.
