Today, 23 September, is Bi Visibility Day, also known as International Celebrate Bisexuality Day, this day has been marked each year since 1999 to highlight biphobia and to help people find the bisexual community.
In honour of this day, Switchboard is flying the Bisexual flag as our Facebook cover photo.
If you want to read more about the significance of today, there is an interesting article in Archer that we recommend.
