Bi Visibility Day

  • Submitted by: Alex Cole-Hamilton, Edinburgh Western, Scottish Liberal Democrats.
  • Date lodged: Monday, 23 September 2019
  • Motion reference: S5M-19017

That the Parliament recognises that 23 September 2019 mark Bi Visibility Day, which is also known as both Celebrate Bisexuality Day and Bisexual Pride Day; understands that this awareness day, which has been celebrated around the world since 1999, promotes awareness and understanding of bisexuality, provides a platform for bisexual people and their supporters and aims to bring attention to the social, economic and cultural challenges that they can face; notes that the first UK-wide report focusing on the experiences of bisexual people, which was published in May 2015 by the Equality Network, found that 48% of respondents had received biphobic comments and that 61% had experienced multiple discrimination; condemns such comments and discrimination, and hopes that Bi Visibility Day continues to be successful in promoting awareness, understanding, equality and diversity.
