Search engine Google has removed 'bisexual' from its list of words it previously only associated with pornography.

The decision was made after pressure from bisexual community and campaign groups whose rankings on the website fell as a result of being blacklisted by the internet giant's Auto Complete and Instant Search functions.

'It’s not every day one of the biggest companies in the world changes its mind, but we are thankful that Google now sees bisexual people just like everyone else,' said Faith Cheltenham, president of the BiNet USA organization.
