Honoring Bisexual Visibility and Belonging
Bi Visibility Day, observed every September 23, shines a light on the experiences, contributions, and challenges of bisexual people. Established in 1999 by activists Wendy Curry, Michael Page, and Gigi Raven Wilbur, the day combats invisibility and erasure within both LGBTQ+ and broader communities. It’s a reminder that bisexuality is not a “phase” or a stepping stone, but a valid, vibrant identity deserving recognition and respect.
Looking for a quick, actionable way to acknowledge Bi Visibility Day? This post gives you a fast, DIY DEI tip you can apply right now.
Why This Holiday Matters
Bi Visibility Day can be more than just an acknowledgment—it’s a workplace inclusion opportunity:
✅ It challenges harmful myths that erase bisexual people’s existence.
✅ It amplifies the voices of employees whose identities are often overlooked in both straight and queer spaces.
✅ It strengthens workplace allyship by encouraging nuanced conversations about sexuality and inclusion.
✅ It creates pathways for organizations to move beyond rainbow marketing into authentic representation.
Recognizing this day builds a culture where bisexual colleagues feel seen, valued, and supported.
