Bisexuals can be attracted to either sex, homosexuals can only be attracted to one (same) sex.
The activities two same sex partners (where one or both of these are bisexual) perform together are the same as those performed by two homosexuals.
We share similar issues with Gays and Lesbians (recognition & acceptance) and also have our own unique concerns.
Hope this helps

The two are different. Bisexuality means that a person is attracted to people of the same and of the opposite gender, and homosexuality means that a person is predominantly or entirely attracted to people of the same gender.

i've been reminded of a quote i heard by your question, and that quote is bisexuality is the best way to not be dateless on saturday night. i don't remember who said it, but i found it funny.
of course bisexuality is different from homosexuality, not just in the mechanics-homosexuality is sex with the same gender, bisexuality is sex with both genders, but also they differ in how people of each demographic loves-and i mean mentally, not just physically.

Bisexuality in human sexual behavior refers to the aesthetic, romantic, and/or sexual desire for people of either gender and/or for people of either sex.
Meanwhile, the word homosexuality has acquired multiple meanings over time. In the original sense, it describes a sexual orientation characterised by lasting aesthetic attraction, romantic love, or sexual desire exclusively for others of the same sex or gender. Homosexuality is usually contrasted with bisexuality. The term gay is used predominantly to refer to homosexual males. Lesbian is a gender-specific term that is only used for homosexual females.

Someone who is homosexual has erotic and romantic attraction only for members of his or her own gender. Someone who is bisexual has erotic and romantic attraction for members of both sexes. This is contrasted with heterosexuals, who have attractions only for the opposite sex.
Some research, like that of Kinsey, suggest that many people lie somewhere inbetween heterosexua and homosexual, having some degree of attraction other than their dominant one. But in general language usage, people are only considered bisexual if they have sex, or wish to have sex with member of both sexes.

I wouldn't say enjoy's both sex's. Normally they pick one over the other. I'd say bisexual mean's, there is a chance that anyone could sleep with them. But, that theory is blown out of the water when subjected to a bisexual with morals.

Just the same, except homosexuals do not sleep with the opposite sex and they love Princess Diana.

Bisexuality is being attracted to the same and opposite sex.
Homosexuality is being attracted to the same sex.
Heterosexuality is being attracted to the opposite sex.
You make the assessment.

They are very different indeed. The prefix bi denotes two, and the prefix homo denotes one.
Someone who is bisexual is interested in indivivuals of both genders, however a homosexual is interested in people who share their gender.

bisexuals are attracted to people of both sexes, and homosexuals are only attracted to members of their own sex
