September 23 - Celebrate Bisexuality Day

 

Happy National Celebrate Bisexuality Day! On September 23rd, today unites the bisexual community, their friends, and their supporters. 


It also raises awareness and provides an opportunity to educate the public about bisexuality.  


Today aims to counteract prejudice of bisexuals by both the straight and greater LGBT communities. 


Across the country, organizations will hold events in communities designed to dispel myths and increase awareness.  


HOW TO OBSERVE 


Attend a poetry reading or a seminar. Celebrate positive relationships or visit a festival. Listen to a podcast. Find out how to support friends or family members who are bisexual.  


Embrace bisexuality and use #CelebrateBisexualityDay to post on social media. 


HISTORY 


In 1999, three American bisexual rights activists, Wendy Curry of Maine, Michael Page of Florida, and Gigi Raven Wilbur of Texas, started Celebrate Bisexuality Day. 


The founders chose the birthday of British rock band lead singer of Queen, Freddie Mercury, to establish the date. 


The date, September 5, perfectly represented the dedication to raising awareness and the need for eliminating prejudice.
