Bi+ People Who Changed the World: Freddie Mercury 💖💜💙

Few artists have changed music forever quite like Freddie Mercury. As the legendary frontman of Queen, his talent, creativity and fearless individuality continue to inspire generations around the world. His extraordinary vocal range, electrifying stage presence and songwriting talent helped create some of the world's most iconic songs.

While Freddie's immense musical legacy is well known, his bisexuality is often overlooked. Throughout his life, Freddie had meaningful relationships with both women and men, including Mary Austin, whom he described as the love of his life, and Jim Hutton, his long-term partner.

At a time when LGBTQIA+ people faced significant stigma and discrimination, Freddie lived boldly and unapologetically. His authenticity, creativity and refusal to conform challenged expectations and helped pave the way for greater visibility and acceptance of q***r people in music and popular culture.

Freddie's influence extends far beyond his incredible catalogue of music. He remains a symbol of courage, individuality and self-expression, reminding us that our differences can be our greatest strengths.

His unforgettable performance at Live Aid in 1985 is still regarded as one of the greatest live performances of all time, cementing his place as one of the most influential entertainers in history.

"I won't be a rock star. I will be a legend."

More than three decades after his passing, Freddie Mercury's music, legacy and impact continue to inspire people across the world to live authentically and unapologetically.

💖 Proudly part of Bi+ history.
💜 A voice like no other.
💙 A legend who changed music forever.

As an actor, dancer, singer-songwriter and creative artist, Keiynan has built a career that spans film, television, music and theatre. But beyond his success on screen, he has become an important voice for authenticity, self-expression and LGBTQIA+ visibility.

Keiynan has spoken openly about his experiences with sexuality and identity, encouraging people to embrace themselves without feeling pressured to fit into labels or expectations. His honesty has helped many young people feel seen, supported and understood as they navigate their own journeys.

In 2018, Keiynan won an MTV Movie & TV Award for his role in Love, Simon, a film that introduced millions of people to a positive and affirming LGBTQIA+ coming-of-age story. He has also used his platform to advocate for inclusion, representation and mental wellbeing.

More recently, Keiynan has returned to the Australian stage, using storytelling and the arts to explore important social issues and continue conversations about identity, equality and belonging.

His journey from public housing in Western Sydney to international success demonstrates the power of resilience, creativity and believing in yourself.

"Either way, throughout all of that, I'm Keiynan."

Keiynan reminds us that there is no single way to be yourself, and that authenticity can be one of the bravest things a person chooses every day.

Bi+ People Who Changed the World: Brenda Howard 💖💜💙

Known as the "Mother of Pride," Brenda Howard helped create the Pride celebrations we know today.

As a bisexual activist, feminist and community organiser, Brenda dedicated her life to advocating for equality, visibility and inclusion. Following the Stonewall Uprising, she played a leading role in organising the first Christopher Street Liberation Day March in 1970, an event widely recognised as the first Pride march.

Brenda believed that one day wasn't enough to celebrate and advocate for LGBTQIA+ communities. She helped expand the anniversary of Stonewall into a week of events, laying the foundation for what eventually became Pride Month.

Throughout her life, she also worked to ensure bisexual people were visible and included within LGBTQIA+ movements at a time when bi+ identities were often ignored or misunderstood. In 1987, she co-founded the New York Area Bisexual Network, creating community and connection for bisexual people and helping challenge bisexual erasure.

"Visibility creates belonging. When people see themselves represented, they know they're not alone."

Today, Brenda's legacy lives on in Pride celebrations around the world and in the ongoing work toward greater understanding, acceptance and inclusion.

💖 Proudly bisexual.
💜 Fierce advocate.
💙 Lasting legacy.

A brief history of Bi Visibility Week 📖

While many people know about Pride Month, fewer know about the history of Bisexual Visibility Week.

The week grew from Celebrate Bisexuality Day, first observed on 23 September 1999, and expanded into the week-long campaign we know today.

In 2014, organisations including GLAAD and BiNet USA launched Bi Visibility Week to raise awareness about the experiences of bisexual+ people and address a common issue known as bisexual erasure. This happens when bisexual identities are ignored, dismissed or assumed not to exist.

Since then, Bi Visibility Week has become a global movement celebrating the resilience, diversity and contributions of bi+ communities.

Because visibility matters.

When people can see themselves reflected in stories, leadership, media and communities, it reminds them that they belong.

Why do we have Bisexual Visibility Week? 💖💜💙

Tomorrow marks the beginning of Bisexual Visibility Week ( ), an annual week of awareness, celebration and advocacy held from 16-23 September.

The week was established to increase understanding and visibility of bisexual+ communities, while challenging stereotypes, stigma and bisexual erasure.

The term "bi+" is inclusive of people who may identify as bisexual, pansexual, q***r, fluid, no-label and other identities that recognise attraction to more than one gender.

Bisexual+ people make up one of the largest groups within LGBTQIA+ communities, yet many still report feeling unseen, misunderstood or excluded.

Bi Visibility Week is an opportunity to:

💖 Celebrate bi+ identities and experiences
💜 Learn about the history of bi+ communities
💙 Recognise the contributions of bisexual+ people throughout history
💖 Increase understanding and inclusion

This week we'll be highlighting influential bisexual+ people whose courage, creativity and advocacy helped shape the world around them.

Looking out for your mates starts with a conversation. 🤠💛

In rural and regional communities, we're often the first people to notice when someone isn't themselves.

A neighbour who stops showing up. A mate who's gone quiet. A workmate who seems weighed down.

The thing about tough times is that people don't always ask for help.

That's why checking in matters.

This R U OK? Day, let's remember that mateship is more than showing up when things are going well. It's taking the time to ask how someone is really going and sticking around to listen to the answer.

Because a simple conversation could make all the difference.

💛 Real mates check in.

Ask your mob, your way. 💛🖤💛

R U OK? Day is about connection, and for many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, connection to Country, culture, community and mob is at the heart of wellbeing.

We all go through tough times, but people don't always tell us when they're struggling.

That's why it's important to trust your instincts, check in, and start a yarn.

There is no one right way to ask someone if they're OK.

The important thing is that you ask.

💛 Ask your mob, in your way, R U OK? 💛 Listen without judgement. 💛 Take the time to have a proper yarn. 💛 Let them know they're not alone. 💛 Check back in.

By asking and listening, we can help the people we care about feel supported, connected and stronger together.

06/09/2026

The question is simple. The impact can be powerful.

"Are you OK?"

Three simple words.

One meaningful conversation.

One opportunity for someone to feel heard, supported and connected.

This R U OK? Day, let's make time for the people in our world.

Because a conversation doesn't have to be perfect to make a difference.

💛 Ask. 💛 Listen. 💛 Support. 💛 Check in.
