Celebrities, organizations, and the bi community came out in a powerful display of visibility on social media.
Bi Pride took center stage on Twitter for Bisexual Visibility Day.
Members of the bisexual community, allies, celebrities, politicians, and organizations alike posted messages that raised awareness of bi people and the issues they face, including the erasure of the community. The event quickly became a trending topic on the social media platform.
The intent was to educate and celebrate. Westworld star Evan Rachel Wood pointed out to her followers that a bi woman, Brenda Howard, founded Pride. Political candidate Sarah Smith reminded hers that having a male partner "doesn't delete my sexuality or make me less valid."
Bi folks shared stories of both erasure and coming out that turned Twitter shades of magenta, lavender, and royal blue -- the colors of the bi Pride flag.
Take a look at some of the moving messages below.

\u201cgood morning to my fellow bisexuals on this #BiVisibilityDay \ud83d\udc96\ud83d\udc9c\ud83d\udc99\u201d— cmq updates (@cmq updates) 1569247625
\u201cI am bisexual.\nBisexuality is beautiful.\nBisexuality is its own sexual orientation.\nBisexuality is not a phase.\nBisexuality is not a choice.\nBisexuality is a rejection of the binary.\nBisexuality is not a stepping stone to another sexual orientation.\nI am me.\n\n#BiVisibilityDay\u201d— Luke W (@Luke W) 1569227666
\u201cHappy #BiVisibilityDay to those in the closet, out of it, still deciding or unsure! It's so easy to get wrapped up in everyone else's words, but the love, positivity and acceptance in this community will help drown it out\u2764\ufe0f\ud83d\udc9c\ud83d\udc99\u201d— Jess \u26a1 (@Jess \u26a1) 1569242916

\u201cHappy #BiVisibilityDay. A reminder that:\n\n1. Bisexuality is inclusive of all genders\n2. You don\u2019t need to be equally attracted to men and women to label yourself as bi\n3. Your bisexuality isn\u2019t any less valid because you\u2019re in a monogamous relationship\n4. Being be is the BEST!\u201d— Zachary Zane (@Zachary Zane) 1569243738
\u201cRepresentation matters. Visibility matters.\n\nWithout a voice, we can't begin to address issues like the staggering rates of sexual assault of bisexual women or disproportionate rates of poverty that affect bisexual people.\n\nHappy #BiVisibilityDay. I see you. \ud83d\udc96\ud83d\udc9c\ud83d\udc99\u201d— Rep. Katie Hill (@Rep. Katie Hill) 1569256619
\u201cLove to all the Bi+ (bisexual, pansexual, fluid, queer) folks who make the world more vibrant and wonderful. #BiVisibilityDay \ud83d\udc96\ud83d\udc9c\ud83d\udc99\u201d— Raquel Willis (she/her) (@Raquel Willis (she/her)) 1569262661
\u201cToday we recognize #BiVisibilityDay, and the work that still needs to be done to end the erasure. You are valid and we will leave no one to fight alone.\u201d— Kamala Harris (@Kamala Harris) 1569260462

\u201cOn #BiVisibilityDay, we celebrate the B in LGBTQ! We see you. We\u2019re here for you. \ud83d\udc97\ud83d\udc9c\ud83d\udc99\u201d— Planned Parenthood (@Planned Parenthood) 1569260509
\u201cHappy #BiVisibilityDay! Your sexuality is valid and it doesn\u2019t change depending on the gender of who you\u2019re in a relationship with. \n\n#SignOfResistance by Anna Broges (IG: @annabroges)\u201d— Women's March (@Women's March) 1569256180
\u201cHappy #BiVisibilityDay!\n\nWe honor bisexual activist & poet June Jordan. Jordan said of her bisexuality, \u201cbisexuality means I am free & I am as likely to want to love a woman as I am likely to want to love a man & what about that? Isn\u2019t that what freedom implies?\u201d\u201d— Black Women Radicals (@Black Women Radicals) 1569265069
\u201cOn #BiVisibilityDay\u2014and every day\u2014we recommit to securing equal rights for every LGBTQ+ American until they can live openly and proudly. Everyone deserves to live without fear or discrimination.\u201d— Elizabeth Warren (@Elizabeth Warren) 1569259743
