[262/365] celebrate

[cosmolinguist]

Today I re-purposed an old thing I wrote about the similarities in being bi and partially sighted, so it can get shared around my workplace by the LGBT+ staff network.

When I first wrote this, eight or nine years ago, to be included in a chapter about disability of a book about bisexuality in Britain, we were increasingly calling it Bi Visibility Day instead of the name I'd first learned: International Celebrate Bisexuality Day. Now we get a whole week!

But otherwise I prefer the old name. The jokes about visibility or awareness are inevitable. I'm starting to want to hearken back to the old ways and ask for celebration rather than either visibility or awareness.

I prefer celebration, too.

Oooh, I think I remember that. Do you have a link to the original text, I'd love to reread that.

Celebration of sexuality and the many, many permutations that it comes in is something we could use more of these days, rather than simply visibility.
