The Multisexual Spectrum (also known as as mspec, plurisexual, the bisexual umbrella, the mspec umbrella, or the multi spectrum) is a sexuality spectrum/umbrella term consisting of any and all labels that represent the sexual attraction to more than one gender. The most well known labels on the spectrum are Bisexual, Pansexual, Polysexual, and Omnisexual.
The spectrum is often referred to as the Bisexual Umbrella, as bisexual is often seen as the umbrella term for all labels holding multigender attraction due to its fluidity. Any labels that describe attraction to more than one gender will fall under here.
