Despite its prevalence, bisexual individuals frequently face erasure or stereotyping within both heterosexual and lgbtq+ spaces Bisexual month serves as a reminder that visibility matters It’s a time to celebrate, educate, and advocate for a world where bisexual individuals are seen, understood, and accepted without prejudice or erasure. Bi visibility day was created to recognize and celebrate the bi+ community It originated in 1999 at the international lesbian and gay association conference in johannesburg, south africa after three bi+ activists, wendy curry, michael page, and gigi raven wilbur saw the need to provide a specific day to celebrate and center the bi community. Bisexual awareness week, also known as #biweek, is celebrated in september (during the week of september 23rd, which is bi visibility day)
#biweek draws attention to the experiences, while also celebrating the resiliency of, the bisexual+ community.
