Robyn Ochs is a US bisexual activist, speaker, and educator known for advancing visibility and inclusion for bisexual people within broader LGBTQ movements. She has worked with national and campus organizations, led workshops on identity, allyship, and biphobia, and helped create resources that normalize attraction beyond binary labels. Ochs has emphasized coalition-building, urging lesbian, gay, trans, and queer communities to treat bisexuality as a legitimate orientation rather than a transitional phase. Through talks, writings, and mentoring, she has shaped how schools and nonprofits define bisexuality and design more welcoming, intersectional programs. Her definition of bisexuality is quoted across LGBTQ education.

Quote: “I call myself bisexual because I acknowledge that I have in myself the potential to be attracted–romantically and/or sexually–to people of more than one gender, not necessarily at the same time, in the same way, or to the same degree.”
