Some bans also forbid so-called "propaganda of bisexualism and transgenderism".

The terms homosexualism and bisexualism were also based on this usage, and were commonly used before the general adoption of the terms homosexuality and bisexuality.

A similar ban on "propaganda" of homosexualism, bisexualism, transgenderism and pedophilia was also approved in Kostroma Oblast, which took effect on 28 February 2012.

A majority of the lyrics of As Quatro Estações tend to speak about bisexualism, such as in "Meninos e Meninas", in which Renato Russo confesses he is bisexual, and "Maurício".
