Bi Visibility Day ~ The History Of Bisexuality By: Jennifer Kate

I'm finally back after a well-needed mental health break, but I'm back and have a good one for you. Today, I'm writing a blog talking about Bi Visibility Day and the history of Bisexuality. If you need to know who I am, I'm Jennifer Kate, a producer for Fruity Serial here on the Empty The Bench Podcast Network.

First, for all of my Bisexual friends, happy Bisexuality Day or Bi Visibility Day, whatever you prefer. Let's start with talking about the definition of what Bisexuality is, and then we will get into what Bisexuality day is. But as I said before, let's start with what Bisexuality is: The quality or characteristics of being sexually or romantically attracted to both men and women or more than one sex or gender.

Now, let's talk about what Bisexuality Day is and how it started. What is Bisexuality Day? Bisexuality Day is the celebration of Bisexuality. (that definition is pretty simple.) The original celebration of Bisexuality Day began in 1999 at the International Lesbian and Gay Association Conference in Johannesburg, South Africa. On September 18, 2012, Berkeley, California, became what is thought to be the first city in the U.S. to proclaim a day recognizing Bisexuals officially.

As for someone who is Bisexual and has a hard time feeling accepted, I think this is huge for the Bisexual community. It's a great way to spread awareness and allow people who may not be out yet or are not fully accepting of themselves to express themselves without backlash or repercussions. Honestly, this should be celebrated daily because we are ordinary people. The only thing people see differently is who we love, which is no one else's business except us and the person we love.

That wraps it up from me here on this blog. Thank you so much for reading. I hope you learned something from reading this blog, and I will catch you guys in the next one.
