Celebrate Bi Visibility Day

16 Sep 2016

We will be marking Bisexual Visibility day this year on 21 September

Bi flag

This day has been marked since 1999 and is a call for the bisexual community, their friends and supporters to recognise and celebrate bisexuality, bisexual history, bisexual community and culture, and all the bisexual people in their lives.

Here at the University we have a significant bisexual population – with 2% declaring their sexual orientation as ‘bisexual’ in the latest Staff Survey.

We have a special lunchtime event to discuss some of the issues faced by bisexual people – both inside and outside of the workplace.  This is a collaborative event with Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) and will feature an invited speaker from Stonewall.  

The event is free and you can reserve your space via Eventbrite.

We’ll be flying the Bi sex flag in University Place where you can also collect a leaflet with more information.

What else can you do?

Take a picture of yourself with the flag and Tweet it #BiVisibilityDay

Take our quick quiz  to see how much you know about the bisexual community already.

Join the Bisexual Thunderclap on Twitter.
