Doesn't the "B" in LGBT indicate there are only 2 sexes?

The B stands for bisexual.

So if someone's bilingual, does that mean there are only two languages?

@ForeverOnMyGuard bi means two. Sometimes it is misused with other words.

So if someones bisexual, they're attracted to two of however many sexes there are. Saying that bisexual meant that there are only 2 sexes was like asking if there were only 2 languages because some people are bilingual, the prefix is used the same way in both words, which is obviously wrong because there are hundreds of languages.
