Bi Visibility Day - Leeds Bi Visibility Day

24/09/2022

On Bi Visibility Day we dance 😉 I am aware its now Saturday and its the 24th of September, but raising awareness and celebrating should be an every day situation!
With that in mind, grab your dancing shoes (literally or otherwise!) get the music on (Fly Away by I Tones is my Bi Visibility Day tune recommendation of choice) and have a dance - on your own, with your friends or family, with the neighbour you've been a bit worried about or even the stranger in the street (I'd probably recommend learning King Little's easy to follow moves first!) or even share the video with others you know would appreciate it (you could sort out a virtual group dance situation!)!!

Dance like no-one is watching, possibly raise your heart rate a little bit and (most importantly!) ENJOY! 💕💜💙

Keen to forage for tea making, but unable to get to the session? Here's a basic guide to give you ideas for how to join in the celebration at home/in your own time!

Things to consider before you get started:
Check possible side effects
Be mindful of allergic reactions
Consult with your GP if you're pregnant
Check first if you're taking any medication
Dandelion and nettle options may take longer to master

***make sure you wash any foraged leaves or plant parts before you use them!***

If you have any foraging related questions and can't be at the session to ask Grace of Sparking Community, you're welcome to send a message here.

Celebration and representation - on 23rd of September and the other 364 days of every...single...year - matters! Being a fan of a list (usually ones that are then left on the table at home!!!), here are lists bringing bi representation. They are absolutely not exhaustive and you could easily spend hours investigating further and perhaps creating your own if you fancied doing so!

Some viewing suggestions for you to investigate - because representation matters!

BiMediaWatch is our regular feature looking at bi representation on TV, in film, on radio and in the press. If you're looking for something to watch with great bi representation, this could be just the thing you need. While for other shows, it is the gentle warning in advance that you're gonna be t

Bisexuality in quotes!

Here are a couple from Bi+ Leeds Social Group members too:

'I love being around people who think 'yes/and' is always the right answer. The enthusiasm and optimism in refusing 'either/or' let me open all of my decisions, not just sexuality. Bi+ community is where I learned that.'

'I've always been me - I've never known any other way! With visibility comes freedom and empowerment - freedom to always be me and strength to be unapologetic in doing so!'

From Jolie to Bowie, there are lots of bis out there. Though they don't all have names ending in -ie. So let's hear from people on bi+ sexuality... in all its myriad labels. Kirsten Stewart told the Guardian in 2017, "You're not confused if you're bisexual. It's not confusing at all. For m
