Talk:Celebrate Bisexuality Day

question about adding references talking about this yearly event

Am finding MANY, MANY references about events marking this holiday worldwide but given that is is a yearly celebration and the current state of internet usage, many of them are on blogs. Are these usable as references or is it strictly websites only? BiAndBi (talk) 20:25, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Observed during the ILG Association?

How is something observed during an association? An association is not an event 131.211.151.99 (talk) 14:27, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

An event is observed during the meeting of an association. This often happens when a group of people meeting as part of the association take steps to organize themselves either against the backdrop of the association or for the benefit of educating the other members of the association.

An example of why Bisexuals everywhere need to be more Visible

The original posting of this point was titled "Why America will never celebrate Bisexuality Day." The text of that post follows:

This is complete and utter stupidity coming to life before our eyes. A choice like BiSexuality is one that a person makes in the wake of they're own privacy. People are tolerant but remember when you are tolerant you tolerate something but you sure as heck dont like it, thats why its called being tolerant. We already have gay pride and lesbo pride and enough is enough. You are'nt going to get another reason to flaunt the fact publically that you choose to live outside of the norm and rub it all in our face. Ok we get it you like to irritate people, I am convinced that is why about 75% of people are homosexual or bisexual. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.240.47.171 (talk) 19:34, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

If you don't like it, why do you have to spew hate on a page that supports it? can't you just leave people celebrating who they are alone? 76.188.100.220 (talk) 21:14, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

To the anonymous talker claiming "choice" and "privacy" and "tolerance" are issues in their vernacular, i must say: this is an encyclopedia article. If you don't like it, don't read it. Calling it "utter stupidity" won't stop its existence. Grow up and follow the guidelines for Wikipedia talkpages, please, thanks. Whether or not you like gay people rubbing things in your face(s) won't change the basics of how to encyclopedically cite information and facts. That's what these pages are best used for, not for the airing of your personal prejudice or disgust. Being convinced of other people's hypothetical "gay and lesbo" expressions of a "norm" or being convinced of the appropriateness of your personal ideas of normative Bisexual Celebratory behavior is less useful (and arguably more disgusting) than any facts being offered in a free online encyclopedia.

The fact is, we are not asking for America to celebrate BiSexuality Day. What we ARE suggesting, is that Bisexuals everywhere (America being but one such places, not the center of any single universe) need to celebrate who they are. We need to get folks like our original poster to understand the differences between gay & lesbian & bisexual & trans & queer.. etc. Yet, we OUT bisexuals tend to be some of the most fun people I know. So why not Celebrate it?? It's about visibility. [posted by Paul - BrklynBiGuy@aol.com]

you may "need" to do many things, but Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a host for your lobbying activities or press releases. Please get your own webspace for this kind of thing. Wikipedia can only cover topics that are already notable, not topics that "need to become more visible". The proper sequence is: (a) become visible, then (b) write an encyclopedia article about yourself, not vice versa. --dab (𒁳) 05:45, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

<blanked offensive/attack comments>

Rants and chat back and forth are not the purpose of the discussion/talk page. This is solely for the discussion of the article itself, not the reasons behind it, the general state of tolerance or intolerance, or anyone's personal opinions. Please stick to the article itself, in a civil format. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.65.34.242 (talk) 17:07, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Dubious

The article says "it is now celebrated throughout the United States" without anything to back this up. The statement is preposterous and implies that it is celebrated in Ahoskie, North Carolina, East Peru, Iowa and Savery, Wyoming, for example. The statement smacks of WP:ADVOCACY and must be removed.

• Stick a rainbow on this page - it is just one more article with LGBT/Q propaganda.2600:6C48:7006:200:D84D:5A80:173:901D (talk) 02:16, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
