Celebrate Bisexuality Day

Celebrate Bisexuality Day happens every year on September 23rd. This day was created specifically to remind people that there are bisexuals among us and sometimes they have a hard time. A bisexual person is different in that they are attracted to people of both sexes. The community of such people has its own flag – a tricolor canvas (purple, blue, and pink stripes). Celebrate Bisexuality Day teaches us to be more tolerant and accept people for who they are.

History

Celebrate Bisexuality Day was first celebrated in 1999 at the International Conference of the Gay and Lesbian Association. The event was held in Johannesburg, South Africa. The mission of the holiday is to draw public attention to the problems of bisexuals, and the conference participants also demanded a respectful attitude towards themselves. It is believed that bisexuals often face discrimination, both from heterosexuals and from members of the LGBT community.
