Please join the Bay Area Bi+ and Pan Network for Bi Visibility Day (also called Bisexual Pride Day, Celebrate Bisexuality Day, CBD, Bisexual Pride, and Bisexuality+ Day) for an evening Zoom get-together!

On Wednesday, September 23rd, at 5pm Pacific Time we will be hosting an event for Celebrate Bisexuality Day:
 
INVISIBLE NO MORE: A Celebration of Bisexuality & Bi+ Pioneers
Event is free & open to the public; register on Zoom at: bit.ly/bidaypanel
 
Wednesday, September 23rd is Celebrate Bisexuality Day, but what does it mean to celebrate bisexuality in 2020? As LGBTQ+ rights and awareness grow, is bisexuality becoming more accepted, or does it remain invisible and stigmatized? And as activism and communities move increasingly online, what even is "visibility" anymore? Join a panel of bisexual activist pioneers as we explore these questions and more in an unabashed claim to visibility and dignity.
