Held each year on Sept. 23, the international holiday attempts to raise awareness of bisexuality and remove stigmas and stereotypes often associated with the community.

To add a humorous hook to the holiday, the Alliance of Queer and Ally students hosted the “Who Would You Do for a Klondike Bar?” event in the basement of Student Services.

Organizers offered attendees free Klondike bars and information about non-monosexual relationships.

The “What Would You Do for a Klondike Bar?” event included a short educational presentation by a pansexual-identified student followed with a panel of non-monosexual students Alliance of Queer and Ally Students Office Manager Madalyn Gildea said.

Those who identify as pansexual can be attracted toward people regardless of their gender identity, sexual orientation or physical sex, while non-monosexual attraction covers a broad range of people who are attracted to both sexes.

The holiday is a time where people the LGBT community can show support against the biases bisexual students often encounter on campus, said Colin Wiebrecht, chairperson of the Alliance of Queer and Ally Students.

“It’s an opportunity for us to come together as a community, rather than separate ourselves by our various identities,” Wiebrecht said.

Gildea said the holiday gave the MSU community an opportunity to clear up untrue bisexual labels and stereotypes that students are often familiar with.

“We are trying to get information out there and trying to get rid of those stigmas and stereotypes that go along with being bisexual, pansexual, omnisexual and things like that,” Gildea said.

Culinary services retail operations senior Joie Binford, who identifies herself as bisexual, said one of the biggest misconceptions about bisexuality is that bisexual individuals are greedy and promiscuous.

“People say that I want to have my cake and eat it too,” Binford said.

The “What Would You Do for a Klondike Bar?” event was the first of a series of LGBT programs this weekend, with an event on Friday celebrating the newly approved lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and sexuality studies specialization.

Throughout the weekend, there will also be training sessions open to the public put on by volunteers from the LGBT Resource Center.
