Francisco — this response is coming from Tim MacGeorge, one of the priest/presiders for Dignity/Washington. The short answer to your question is yes, a bisexual person can certainly receive communion. The reason behind this is because — as you indicated — sin is not about “who we are” but is about “what we do.” As it is understood today, a bisexual person is someone whose sexual interests and attractions are not limited to either sex, but who is attracted both to men and women. Being this way — just like being homosexual — is not in itself sinful. As to the issues of what is “grave matter” and whether or not a particular act by any one person may or may not be sinful — these are issues that don’t lend themselves to comments on a web site. If you would care to discuss any of this further, many of the priests who celebrate Mass for Dignity would be more than happy to chat with you.

Can bisexual men take communion?? I really want to receive communion but I am not sure it is the right thing to do being bisexual.

A mortal sin is any sin whose matter is grave and which has been committed willfully and with knowledge of its seriousness. Grave matter includes, but is not limited to, murder, receiving or participating in an abortion, homosexual acts, having sexual intercourse outside of marriage or in an invalid marriage, and deliberately engaging in impure thoughts (Matt. 5:28–29). Scripture contains lists of mortal sins (for example, 1 Cor. 6:9–10 and Gal. 5:19–21). For further information on what constitutes a mortal sin, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
