Celebrating Bisexual Awareness Week: Visibility, Support & Pride | Be/Here

Every September, we pause to celebrate and honour our bisexual community. Bisexual Awareness Week is more than a date on the calendar—it’s a chance to say: you are seen, you are valid, and you belong.

Why Bisexual Awareness Week Matters for Our Community

Bisexuality is the most invisible letter in the LGBTQIA+ umbrella. Too often, bi+ people hear they’re “just confused” or “not queer enough.” Their identity is frequently erased depending on who they’re dating. This invisibility can feel heavy, even painful.

That’s why this month matters. It’s a moment to say loudly and lovingly: bisexuality is real. Your identity is not up for debate. Your story deserves space, care, and celebration.

Breaking Down Myths and Misconceptions About Bisexuality

Let’s be clear: bisexuality isn’t about indecision, phases, or stereotypes. It’s about love, attraction, and connection—beyond the limits others try to place on you. It’s about knowing yourself, and sometimes it’s about exploring and figuring things out. Both are valid.

Bi+ people bring a richness of experience to our community—creativity, courage, resilience, and tenderness. While the world doesn’t always make it easy, every person who lives openly and authentically as bi+ helps reshape the landscape for the better.

How to Celebrate Bisexual Awareness Week with Pride and Care

So how do we celebrate bisexuality in a way that really matters?

🌈 Affirm – If a friend or loved one comes out as bi+, believe them. No tests, no doubt. Just love and trust.

🌈 Challenge – Call out biphobia when you see it, even within the queer community. Silence can hurt.

🌈 Uplift – Share bi+ voices, art, writing, and activism. Visibility heals.

🌈 Care – If you’re bi+, take time this month to nurture yourself. Rest, connect, and seek spaces that feel safe. You don’t need to prove yourself to anyone.

Supporting Mental Health During Bisexual Awareness Week

Many bisexual people experience unique challenges around identity, invisibility, and stigma. At Be/Here, we believe mental health support must reflect those realities. Our free skills workshops, inclusive support groups, and therapy sessions are designed to hold space for bi+ people. You don’t need to show up perfectly. You don’t need to explain. You just need to be.

Be/Here’s Commitment to Bisexual Visibility and Inclusion

At Be/Here, bisexuality is never erased. We commit to:

• Creating affirming spaces where bi+ identities are celebrated.

• Offering therapy and workshops that acknowledge the impact of stigma.

• Training our team in bisexual health awareness and inclusion.

  
  

This Bisexual Awareness Week, and every week, we work to ensure bisexual voices are uplifted and honoured.

Affirmations to Carry Beyond Bisexual Awareness Week

To every bi+ person reading this:

We see you.

We believe you.

You don’t have to split yourself in half to be understood—you are whole, exactly as you are.

This week and always, let’s celebrate bisexuality not just with awareness, but with joy, care, and pride.

The Importance of Community Support

Community support is vital for the well-being of bi+ individuals. It fosters a sense of belonging and validation. When bi+ people come together, they can share experiences and resources. This connection can help combat feelings of isolation.

Creating Safe Spaces

Creating safe spaces is essential for open dialogue. These spaces allow bi+ individuals to express themselves without fear of judgment. Workshops and support groups provide opportunities for sharing and learning. They also help build resilience within the community.

Engaging with Allies

Allies play a crucial role in supporting the bisexual community. They can amplify bi+ voices and challenge misconceptions. Allies can also help create inclusive environments. By standing up against biphobia, they contribute to a more accepting society.

The Role of Education

Education is key to breaking down barriers. Understanding bisexuality helps dispel myths and reduce stigma. Workshops and training sessions can equip individuals with the knowledge they need to support bi+ friends and family.

Conclusion: Moving Forward Together

As we celebrate Bisexual Awareness Week, let’s commit to ongoing support and understanding. Every effort counts. Whether through education, allyship, or community building, we can make a difference.

Together, we can create a world where everyone feels seen, valid, and celebrated. Let’s carry the spirit of this week into our daily lives.

This is just the beginning. Let’s continue to uplift and empower the bisexual community, not just this week, but every week.
