'''Monosexual''' refers to someone who is attracted to a single gender. Monosexual refers both to [[gay]] people, [[straight]] people and anyone else who is attracted to a singular gender. It is typically used by [[Bisexual|bisexuals]], [[Pansexual|pansexuals]], and other [[Pluralian|multisexuals]] to refer to anyone who is not mspec (with the exception of [[Asexual|asexuals]], who are attracted to zero genders). It is similar to the terms [[cisgender]] or [[allosexual]] in that way. It is commonly used when talking about monosexism; the prejudice against bisexuality and other mspec identities. |

Another common attitudes toward bisexuality, especially among heterosexual people, is the fear that their bisexual partner will leave them for a member of the same sex. Similar fears exist among gay people as well, leading to the stereotype that bisexuals are more likely to cheat. There is a belief that multisexuals will eventually get married and "choose a side", dismissing the fact that multisexuals are still attracted to multiple genders after they are married. |
