Bisexual Visibility Day

About

Bisexual Visibility Day (also known as Celebrate Bisexuality Day) has been marked each year on 23 September since 1999 and is a day to acknowledge and increase the visibility and inclusion of bisexual people.

This is not only important in achieving diversity and inclusivity in workplaces, but necessary for the overall health and wellbeing of the bisexual community. Biphobia, bi-erasure and not being ‘out’ is associated with poor mental health including higher rates of psychological distress than experienced by heterosexual and homosexual people.

Show you are an ally. Wear a rainbow or Bisexual Pride pin to show your support and increase awareness. You could even pin them to notice boards or desktop partitions to leave a lasting reminder that bisexual people are supported, welcome and safe in your workplace.

Queensland Government employees can get involved by hosting morning teas, or contacting the LGBTIQ+ Steering Committee for information on webinars and online resources. Visit Welcome Here: Diversity Days to download a mini awareness toolkit and share it in your workplace.

For information on how Queensland Government employees can get involved, subscribe to the Queensland Public Sector LGBTIQ+ and Ally Employee Network.

We support employees. #BeYou
