Today, Friday 23 September, is Bi Visibility Day – a day to recognise, support and celebrate bisexuality and bisexual icons and champions around the world. Find out about some of Kent’s role models on the LGBT+ Staff Network blog!
What is bisexuality?
A bisexual person is someone who can be attracted to more than one gender, and studies show that as much as half of the lesbian, gay and bisexual population identify as bisexual. In other words, bisexual–– or bi –– people comprise the largest single group in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) community.
How does Kent support bisexual colleagues?
The LGBT+ Staff Network is proud to work with and support members of Kent’s diverse and inclusive community, and to foster cultural and policy change to advocate for LGBT+ people and their supporters.
You can find advice about how you can be part of this in the workplace on the Human Rights Campaign or Stonewall websites.
Think you might by bisexual?
Members of the LGBT+ Staff Network know what it feels like to have questions about your sexual orientation or gender identity and are here to help. Email lgbtstaffnetwork@kent.ac.uk for confidential advice as well as information about support and resources available to you.

We support HR in their work to make Kent an inclusive and safe environment to work in and we work closely with the Kent Union student LGBT+ Society to ensure that LGBT+ issues are represented and promoted. Our next event is on Thursday 3rd November 12-2pm (venue tbc).
