💜💙 Happy Bi Visibility Day!

Today, September 23, marks Bi Visibility Day and the culmination of Bisexual Awareness Week — a time to celebrate the bi+ community, increase visibility, and affirm the many ways people experience attraction and identity.

At The LOFT, that visibility and connection continue year-round through our Bisexual Peer Support Group, a welcoming space for anyone attracted to more than one gender — including those who identify as bisexual, pansexual, or are questioning their sexuality.

💬 Bisexual Peer Support Group
📅 2nd & 4th Tuesdays of each month
⏰ 7:30–9:00 PM
💻 Meets virtually
🔗 https://www.theloftcenter.org/bisexual-peer-support-group

Whether you’re looking to explore your identity, share experiences, or simply connect with others who understand, there’s a place for you at The LOFT.

Today and every day: bi+ people deserve to be seen, celebrated, supported, and proud. 💜💙
