Bisexual Awareness Week Is Here To Celebrate Diversity
Bisexual Awareness Week, also known as #BiWeek, is an annual celebration held from September 16–23. It’s an extension of Celebrate Bisexuality Day, which takes place every year on September 23. The week-long event aims to promote cultural acceptance of the bisexual community and create a platform for advocating bisexual rights.
Bisexual people and their families, friends, allies, and supporters come together to celebrate this special week. According to a 2013 Pew Research Center survey, bisexuals make up about 40% of the LGBTQIA+ community.
This week is more than just a celebration. It’s an opportunity to educate people about the obstacles faced by the bisexual community and to set policies that ensure bisexual acceptance and social integration.
#BiWeek was co-founded by GLAAD and BiNet USA to create a more inclusive and accepting world for bisexual individuals. By celebrating this week, we can work towards a future where everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation, feels valued and respected.
