All around the country and the world, bisexuals are coming together to celebrate our unique culture. So many events are happening today and this weekend to demonstrate that bisexuality is a stable identity with a rich history.
According to Wikipedia, Bisexual Awareness Day began in 1999 when three activists, Wendy Curry, Michael Page, and Gigi Raven Wilbur decided the bisexual community needed more visibility. Wilbur said, “Ever since the Stonewall rebellion, the gay and lesbian community has grown in strength and visibility. The bisexual community also has grown in strength but in many ways we are still invisible. I too have been conditioned by society to automatically label a couple walking hand in hand as either straight or gay, depending upon the perceived gender of each person.”
So what can you do to celebrate your unique sexuality and bring more awareness of bisexual culture to the world?
- Tell a good friend you are bisexual. You just might discover s/he is bisexual too!
- Attend a bisexual event in your city. (Please visit my EVENTS page at blisswarrior.com for listings or visit BiNetUSA.)
- Organize an event for bi-girls in your area. Amazing bliss warriors have organized events in LA, NY, Albuquerque, Seattle, Detroit, Toronto, and Miami and so can you! Being a leader is scary at first, but the rewards are endless.
- Volunteer at your local Gay and Lesbian Center. We will only be the big “B” in LGBT when we make ourselves an active part of the community. This weekend I’m volunteering at the Hollywood LGBT center, calling folks to ask them to vote no on Proposition 8 – the legislation attempting to overturn gay marriage in California. It’s a great way to meet new people and show our community is active and vital.
- Join a bisexual group. There are more and more bisexual networks opening up online. Almost all of them can be found at the wonderful new myspace page BiNetUSA has created. Just check out their Top Friends and you will find an organization near you.
To celebrate Bisexual Awareness Day, the marvelous team at Hotel Bliss is bringing you a new service:
BI-MONTHLY BI ONLINE CHATS WITH BLISS WARRIOR AT HOTEL BLISS.
Starting next Tuesday the 30th at 6pm PST and at 9pm EST, all Hotel Bliss members are invited to join me for online chats about bisexual issues. For two hours, everyone who is a member can share stories, ask questions and seek support in an anonymous, private forum. (Even though you are logged in, you can choose to be anonymous in the chat, just make up a name.) The first topic will be, “What is wonderful about being bisexual and what is difficult?”
If you are not a member of Hotel Bliss and would like to join, please CLICK HERE.
(I know I said last week that we would be starting today, but work has made me delay one week. So sorry, girls, and can’t wait to see you next week.)
And don’t forget – today is a great day to flirt, flirt, flirt. So spread a little love and be proud. Being bisexual is loving beyond gender and what is more beautiful than that?
XOXOXOXOX
