32 Quotes to Celebrate Bisexual Awareness

All too often, bisexuals, specifically bi men, can be left out of the ever-growing conversation when it comes to LGBTQ+ identity and politics. That's why it's such a welcome occurrence when people with a public platform speak up about bisexuality—no matter what their sexual orientation is. It shows people who are bisexual that their identity is valid and they're not alone, even though it sometimes can feel that way.

In recent years, there's been a surge of celebrities, artists, journalists, politicians, and more high-profile people come out as bisexual. A number of stars have also stepped up as vocal allies to the bisexual community, and it's great to see more monosexuals (people who are attracted to one gender) acknowledging that bi people experience unique hardships, even from within the LGBTQ+ community. Things are gradually getting better.

It's amazing to see people—like the famous faces on this list—finally saying the word "bisexual," as simply stating the word was often deemed taboo in the past. In celebration of Bisexual Awareness Week, we compiled a list of some of the best celebrity quotes from people of all sexual orientations where bisexuality is directly mentioned—and validated.
