It's Bisexual Visibility Day!

It's Bisexual Visibility Day! Time for the annual reminder that bi people have only recently begun to be studied as a distinct population, and these studies consistently show that we are, along with trans people (many of whom are also bi), the most likely to experience intimate partner violence, in addition to extremely poor mental health and isolation, despite our great numbers. Every year I say it: queer community saves lives, and bisexuals need it too. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10486155/

Being out is not "taking up space."
Being bi is not "being greedy."
Bisexuality is not a phase or a fad.
Bi people can be poly, mono, or ace.
If you are bi, you are bi all the time.
All your relationships, all your solitude, all your thoughts are bi all the time.
If you are with a non-bi partner, you are at a higher risk for physical, sexual, and psychological abuse. Seek out bi community and check in with each other. Make time for bi people. Check in on bi people. Your love is never wasted.
