We Asked People Why They're Proud To Be Bisexual And The Responses Are Perfect

    "I am not who I choose to love, but I love who I choose to be."

    Bi Visibility Day, which falls on September 23rd each year, is a great day to be super duper proud of being you.

    So it's no surprise that when we asked bisexual folks to share some reasons why they're proud, their responses were downright inspiring:

    1. "I’m proud to be bi because I know that this is valid and I want other people to know that I’m not just confused or questioning — I’m me."

    2. "I have no hard time in choosing who to LOVE. 💞"

    3. "A proud Bisexual here, not afraid to break boundaries. My love, motivation and passion for life has expanded since coming out! I wouldn’t change a thing."

    4. "I’m proud to be bi because it’s a huge part of my identity and how I love — and I’m always going to be proud to be me!"

    5. "I am valid, no matter the gender of who I’m dating, and I am PROUD!"

    6. "A classmate texted me one day saying that me being so out encouraged her to become more open with herself and she came out to her parents. I just want to tell you all out there: Even if you aren’t accepted by who you are by one person, your fight for equality can inspire those around you."

    7. "I won't spend my time trying to hide, I'm proud to be bi."

    8. "I’m bi and trans. My sexuality is complex and beautiful and I wouldn’t have it any other way."

    17. "I am not who I choose to love, but I love who I choose to be."

    18. "I’ve lived in many identities that our society doesn’t feel are valid. I’m trans, I’m bi, and I’m proud of who I am today."
