Every year on September 23rd, Celebrate Bisexuality Day is recognized. The first official celebration occurred in South Africa in 1999. The date was said to be chosen because of it being the month of Freddie Mercury's birth, and then the 23rd because it fell upon Gigi Raven Wilbur's birthday, one of the leading organizers for bisexual rights at the time.
We were sitting around at one of the annual bi conventions, venting and someone – I think it was Gigi – said we should have a party. We all loved the great bisexual, Freddie Mercury. His birthday was in September, so why not Sept? We wanted a weekend day to ensure the most people would do something. Gigi's birthday was Sept 23rd. It fell on a weekend day, so, poof! We had a day.
