I find it amusing/depressing/ironic that you felt out of place saying anything during bi visibility week because you felt fake, when part of the whole purpose of bi visibility week is to combat that feeling. It's not just about "hey look at me, I'm bi!", it's also about supporting other people who identify the same way. Much the same way gay pride is partially about making it easier for gay people to feel ok about being gay, bi visibility week is much the same.
...amusingly, a nontrivial number of people thought I was gay because I had a same-sex partner for 15 years, despite me being more attracted to the opposite sex (in general). So, yeah, invisible. :/
