Each 23 September we celebrate Bi Visibility Day to acknowledge and celebrate bisexual individuals and the history of bisexuality. Bisexuality is often dismissed, negated and misunderstood by both those in the LGBT+ community and outside of it, leaving many individuals in a precarious position that is stigmatised. Since 1990, when Bi Visibility Day was first recognised at the first conference of the then called North American Multicultural Bisexual Network (currently named BiNet USA), this day, also known as Bisexual Pride Day, 23 September marks the remembrance of activism for the rights of bisexual people, tackling discrimination, prejudice and marginalisation.
This day is of absolute importance when responding to the neglect that bisexual people face within and outside the LGBT+ part of the population worldwide. The LGBT+ Staff Community at our university invites everyone to join in celebrating the beauty and worth of all bisexual individuals, recognising the difficulties this part of the population faces and promoting a safe space where everyone is treated with fairness and is recognised with their sexual orientation without judgment or being marginalised.
Happy Bi Visibility Day 2022 to everyone! We've updated our LGBT+ Teams backgrounds to include two for Bi Visibility Day.
