It really is Bisexual exposure Day! also called Celebrate Bisexuality time, nowadays is each day to commemorate and acknowledge the beautiful bisexual+ individuals inside our LGBTQIA+ community.
It really is daily in which we can commemorate our very own bi+ friends, consider the way we can smash biphobia and eagerly wave that (aesthetically pleasing) bisexual flag. It is also just about every day where I, once more, include a
bisexual lighting
system into my personal cart and
nearly
buy it. Because every selfie looks a whole lot better with dark colored green and blue lighting.
See this photo of me that inadvertently has actually very bisexual tints? Fantastic. We promise you I really don’t look this tough in true to life.
There were countless great bi+ members that have created for Archer Magazine through the years. Today, to celebrate Bi exposure Day, I’m collating the my personal favourite pieces talking about bisexual identities and encounters.
There have been
far too many
brilliant pieces to fit into one listing, but here you’ll find an ode to Keira Knightley, bisexual misconception busting, a celebration of a pull diving bar in Korea, and so much more.
Delighted reading, and happy Bisexual exposure Day!
