Why It’s Important to Celebrate Bisexuality

Bisexuality is one of the most common sexual orientations, yet it is also one of the most misunderstood. Too often, bisexual people are dismissed as “confused,” “greedy,” or “going through a phase.” These stereotypes erase real identities and contribute to what’s known as bi-erasure—the invisibility of bisexual experiences in both straight and LGBT+ spaces.

Celebrating bisexuality matters because it challenges these misconceptions and affirms that bisexual people are valid, visible, and proud. It reminds us that attraction to more than one gender is not something to be hidden or explained away—it’s a natural and beautiful expression of human diversity.

Bisexual visibility also plays a crucial role in mental health and wellbeing. Studies show that bisexual people face higher rates of anxiety and depression than their gay and lesbian peers, often due to lack of recognition and acceptance. By celebrating bisexuality, we create safer, more inclusive spaces where people can live openly without fear of judgment.

Ultimately, celebrating bisexuality is about more than a single identity—it’s about sending a message of inclusivity. It strengthens the LGBT+ community by ensuring no one is left out, and it helps society as a whole move closer to understanding and embracing the full spectrum of human love and attraction.

Bisexual people are here, they are valid, and they deserve to be celebrated 🌈💜💙
