    ASL is a different language from English. (In many ways, it is a VERY different language from English, and it has a completely different structure.)

    Therefore, the words are not the same. Nothing said about English words should ever be assumed to apply to other languages.

    I was, of course, referring to the current usage of bi and bisexual in English. Cognates in other languages may differ.

    I think I know that since I am in a Deaf school. :dry:
    FINGERSPELLING is in English.
    But, we do not finger spell out BISEXUAL, we finger spell only BI, and it stands for both cultural and just the sexual nature too.
    QUEER is spelled out completely btw.
    Since we are speaking abt Americans who communicate I am pointing out that Bisexual spoken maybe have some distinguishing between them, but in Deaf Culture there is not...and we are Americans too.
