Celebrate Bisexuality Day – Sep. 23, 2026

Expected Celebrate Bisexuality Day Deals

As a significant observance for the LGBTQ+ community, Celebrate Bisexuality Day focuses more on advocacy and awareness than commercial deals. Organizations like BiNet USA and the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) often lead educational campaigns and fundraising drives during Bisexual Awareness Week, which culminates in this day. Many LGBTQ+ community centers and college campuses host events, workshops, and discussions. Some inclusive brands, such as Levi’s, Converse, and Skittles, may release limited-edition pride collections or contribute a portion of sales to LGBTQ+ charities, particularly during broader Pride Month initiatives, which often extend their support to specific days like this. We will update this page with confirmed live initiatives as September 23 approaches.

History of Celebrate Bisexuality Day

Celebrate Bisexuality Day was first organized by Wendy Curry, Michael Page, and Gigi Raven Wilbur. The day was first officially observed in 1999 by the International Lesbian and Gay Association Conference in Johannesburg, South Africa. The purpose of the celebration was to raise awareness of the challenges faced by bisexuals around the world, and their fair demand to be treated respectfully.

The founders were especially worried about the various experiences of marginalization and discrimination that bisexuals face from both the straight and LGBTQ communities. The bisexual identity is often brushed aside by some members of the straight community as “being confused” or simply “closeted gay.” While on the other hand, the LGBT community sometimes categorizes bisexuals as “undecided” or even as traitors to the LGBT community. This makes it particularly difficult for bisexual people to openly embrace their identity, and discourages those in the closet from coming out.

Historically, bisexuals have been an often ignored group along with the LGBT community. While many are of the assumption that there exists no such thing as bisexuality, some think that bisexuals tend to be promiscuous. For some members of the bisexual community, this is taking a serious toll. So much so that a Human Rights Council report found that bisexuals had higher rates of anxiety, depression, and STIs than any other group. Therefore, Celebrate Bisexuality Day ends up serving two purposes, one to raise awareness of bisexuals everywhere, and the second to help prevent the prejudice faced by bisexuals. The day is celebrated every year with teach-ins, poetry readings, parties, picnics, festivals, and awareness events.
