The Human Rights Campaign is working hard to pass a federal bill that would make discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in the workplace illegal. This bill is known as the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) .

People of conscience everywhere share the horror of this savage murder. However, the national advocacy network of and for bisexuals in the US believes this crime should not be viewed in isolation. \"The climate of hate, fear and misunderstanding regarding people who identify as Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered contributes to these attacks,\" said Jon Spinner, National Coordinator for BiNet USA. National leaders of the GLBT community and their supporters have continued to assert that recent full-page national ads are filled with misinformation perpetuate a climate of intolerance. Radically right Christian organizations have added insult to injury through their statements on this issue. By carefully asserting that their condemnation of the violence in no way means that they accept homosexuality, they have nullified their original message and left the citizenry with the tacit acceptance of hatred against members and supporters of the GLBT community. The passage of federal, state and local hate crimes legislation would send a clear message to such hate mongers that civilized society will not tolerate such biased, targeted violence. BiNet USA joins other organizations across the country calling for our members and supporters to contact their legislative representatives and demand passage of legislation like the Hate Crimes Prevention Act. BiNet USA is a national organization of by and for Bisexual people and their allies. BiNet USA collects and distributes information regarding bisexuality, and works for the equal rights and liberation of bisexual. We are committed to being affirmatively inclusive of a multicultural constituency and political agenda.

As Bisexuals, we value sex but find many other activities to enjoy in our lives, such as playing with our children, making bread, going to work, and attending concerts and other cultural activities. These leaders, by contrast, seem obsessed with sex 24 hours a day, and feel a need to sexualize anything that moves, even the puppet characters enjoyed by 2 year old children. It would seem that they need help finding other activities to make their lives whole.\" BiNet USA's stance is that it fully supports Tinky Winky, regardless of what his/her/zir sexuality may eventually be. \"Why should it matter?\" said Alexei Guren, former National Coordinator of BiNet USA. \"As parents we love our children, and want them to grow up to be compassionate and loving people. In some respects Tinky Winky is much luckier than other children, playing with his other Teletubby friends in their special magic land. He'll never have to deal with being made fun of for the color of his skin, the way he dresses, or the bags he chooses to carry. I only wish that real children could have the same privilege in this country.\" The truth is, purple doesn't make you gay. Neither does carrying a purse, wearing unusual clothing, or demonstrating warm and loving feelings for other Teletubbies. \"Gay, Straight, Bisexual, Asexual,\" said Wendy Curry, newsletter editor of BiNet, \"Tinky is the only one who knows and he/she/zie is not talking. Until this happens, BiNetUSA will continue to make no assumptions and support Tinky just as we would any other 2-year-old child, regardless of the color of their skin or the object of their affections.\" BiNet USA would like to make itself available to any leader of a conservative/fundamentalist religious organization who feels that s/he would like to \"turn away\" fr" }, { "id": "WB-ACTIVIST-REPORTS-HTML", "title": "BiNet USA: Activism Central: Reports", "path": "activist/reports.html", "url": "https://binetusa.org/archive/activist/reports.html", "topic": "activism", "status": "restored", "source_ids": [ "WAYBACK-CDX-BINETUSA-BATCH1" ], "original_url": "http://www.binetusa.org:80/activist/reports.html", "capture_year": "1999", "text": "BiNet USA: Activism Central: Reports activist/reports.html activism restored BiNet USA: Activism Central: Reports \"You don't get to choose how you're going to die.

Have national 1-800 number with staffed office/or answering machine that is responded to on a timely manner. Also have local orgs. refer out to us on their hotlines. 3. Get large distributors to carry Bisexual Resource Guide and get our number/contact info into national gay/les/trans publications like �The Pink Pages� or �traveling in Boston� Indexes etc. 4. Define the joining process. Our suggestions specifically were to list joining as such in two different, clearly defined paragraphs: You can join BiNet USA in the struggle by returning the attached form with AS COMPLETED information as possible. All members have a say and vote in what goes on in the organization. Yearly membership dues are $20. More if you can, less if you can�t. 5. Root the grant process to your regional organizers. Get the Rural initiative packet finished or send a preliminary info packet to get that going. 6. Consider breaking the Northeast Region into two parts: RI and MA as one part and VT, NH, ME as another. These suggestions would help with the following ideals and goals of the general membership. 1) Let us know what�s happening on the national front more and more often. 2) Help us break the isolation for the many bis in the nation and world. 3) Get the regions connected to each other. 4) Provide a presence politically/actively 5) Call/mail members more often, more quickly when they join 6) Create a chat forum on the BiNet web site where members can meet to have �virtual meetings.� Members came up with these things as �BiNet USA Means to us. . .� � Community and common interests - knowledge of others in my area. � gives national visibility and legitimacy both politically and visibly � experience �not a lot gotten out of BiNet so far, but a sense of some link to a greater community. � I joined the national political organization to support that and find out about the nation, know about who needs nudging to include, (in glt groups).

Her words: BiNet USA is instrumental for in the changes at HRC on Bisexuality. Appreciates our Cooperating and Negotiating Skills both Legislatively & Regionally. Looks forward to a Stronger Unity in our (GLBT) Community. Urvashi Vaid (NGLTF) and I planned to develop an Email dialogue Tony Esoldo (HRC) and I have established a dialogue on youth initiatives between BiNet USA and HRC Participation: Reaching out to Bisexuals by Timothy D. Turner - BiNet USA Regional Youth Organizer The workshop was presented in four sections: How you reach Bisexuals on your campus, The Benefits of recruiting Bisexual Students on your campus, How do we implement these programs: Q&A, and What is BiNet USA and How we have a Future Together. Many students had a variety of questions throughout the conference and they seemed to be sent my way. I felt this was a great reflection on BiNet USA. As a BiNet USA representative, I was providing these students a variety of information from: membership issues, programming issues, leadership development, homophobia issues, community outreach, etc. I feel certain we will have a new addition of Southeast Youth Members. Many plan to take a trip to Boston sometime soon......... YEAH!!! Here are a few comments the workshop received: Your workshop was Da Bomb . When will you be in our area?

On the other hand, the latest study appears to be flawed, per research critics, due to questions of methodology, recruitment of volunteers, leaps of logic from data to conclusion and more. However, there is a large body of research already out there on the vastness and diversity of bisexuality, and we will be listing some of that here soon. Meanwhile, those interested may wish to get a copy of the Journal on Bisexuality from last year, also published by The Haworth Press as \"Current Research on Bisexuality,\" edited by Ron Fox, PhD. The latest study itself The latest study is published in the current issue (Volume 16, Number 8, August 2005) of the American Psychological Society's journal \"Psychological Science\" under the title \"Sexual Arousal Patterns of Bisexual Men\" (although, in keeping with the report's conclusion, we guess the title should have been \"...of Men Who Self-Identify as Bisexual\"). Per a preliminary proof, the abstract says \"... In general, bisexual men did not have strong genital arousal to both male and female sexual stimuli. Rather, most bisexual men appeared homosexual with respect to genital arousal, although some appeared heterosexual. In contrast, their subjective sexual arousal did conform to a bisexual pattern. Male bisexuality appears primarily to represent a style of interpreting or reporting sexual arousal rather than a distinct pattern of genital sexual arousal.\" As critics have pointed out, the \"sexual stimuli\" is of a particular nature and not necessarily universal; actual touch was not explored, nor were other forms of stimulae, nor were the participants shown heterosexual activity. (A similar study in 2003 by the same professor indicated most women have bisexual arousal, regardless of self-identity, when viewing females with females and males with males; more on that later.) The study is available to members of the APA at http://www.psychologicalscience.org/journals/ps/16_8.cfm but requires a logon. We will attempt to seek legal permission of the study to post here.

A new study* has found that there may be many different types of sexual orientations and that most males are not straight or gay. In this new study, a team of psychologists directly measured genital arousal patterns of men in response to images of men, women, and an array of other images. In addition, the men were monitored during their daily lives for several weeks. The psychologists found that men had genital arousal patterns that reshape sexual orientation.Out of one hundred subjects, 28 showed genital arousal patterns when showed a picture of a nickel. Thus, there are men who are attracted to nickels. The area where all the men studied showed genital arousal patterns was an unexpected surprise. They each showed genital arousal caused by waking up in the morning in their beds. Is this a new bed fetish? We do not think so. Our conclusions are that the outstanding orientation that came out of this study is that 100% of the men are sexually attracted to waking up in the morning in their beds. Other findings suggest that males may be sexually oriented to a variety of objects. Seventy percent of the men showed genital arousal when attending boring business meetings. Another 35 percent showed genital arousal when driving a sports car. Sixty five percent of the males showed no genital arousal to pornographic pictures of either men or women. We still are not sure what this finding represents, but our researchers are searching for better porn magazines for future studies.Clearly, much more research is needed in this area. * Note: A response, not a real clinical study = = = = From the NGLTF: National Gay and Lesbian Task Force denounces New York" }, { "id": "WB-TALKPOINTS-HTML", "title": "BiNet USA Actions Page", "path": "talkpoints.html", "url": "https://binetusa.org/archive/talkpoints.html", "topic": "activism", "status": "restored", "source_ids": [ "WAYBACK-CDX-BINETUSA-BATCH1" ], "original_url": "http://www.binetusa.org/talkpoints.html", "capture_year": "2007", "text": "BiNet USA Actions Page talkpoints.html activism restored  BiNet USA Actions Page Point-by-Point Responses The following are just some of the many criticisms about the new Northwestern U. Dept. of Psychology study that supposedly focuses on lack of bisexual arousal in sighted (assumably U.S.-acculturated) males, and the below also parses the New York Times article's flawed reporting the study. (The Times was asked to change the headline on its website but reportedly refused.) The below are based on the NGLTF's fact sheet , discussions among bi activists and researchers, emails and calls we've received at BiNet USA, and more. It is incomplete and truncated, but it's a start in case anyone confronts you with what they might have heard on a talk show or seen in the newspapers. The NYT article asserts the study “casts doubt on whether true bisexuality exists, at least in men,” accepting the study’s hypothesis that arousal as detected in the study equals orientation. To determine “arousal,” the study relies entirely upon measuring male genital arousal with penile plethysmograph while the men watched filmed lesbian sex acts and gay male sex acts. There is considerable literature that questions the plethysmograph's validity as a scientific instrument. Further, the lack of uniform sets of visual stimuli or scoring procedures with this methodology is a glaring issue never mentioned in the article. Besides not questioning the serious flaws in the study’s methodology and underlying premises, the article fails to report the many serious controversies that have plagued one of the study’s authors in the past; misstates some of the study’s conclusions; and fails to reflect the views of any leaders in the bisexual community. More than one-third (35%) of the study participants did not show “sufficient genital arousal for analyses” and the article acknowledges this but accepts at face value a statement by one of the authors that this “lack of response did not change the overall findings.” Since the article also quotes one of the authors as saying, “that for men arousal is orientation,” does this mean that more than one-third of the participants had no sexual orientation? Any mechanical device that purports to accurately assess a condition and is unable to do so one out of three times is surely suspect.

One might think this suggests a positive direction in inclusion - until you look at the details. The \"q\" reference is a photo caption - the article is as monosexual as the rest of the magazine. One of the \"b\" references is when an interviewee corrects the interviewer for wrongly attributing a sexuality to one of her characters (Rebecca believes the X-men character mystique is bi, not lesbian). I could give you the full picture of everything that might appeal to bisexuals, but I don't feel like it.

We even happen to have a timeline online and published in a NGLTF joint bi health publication. They don't even have to do research! Ask for help.

These bisexual individuals have contributed to the mental and physical health and well being of bisexual identified people and/or have promoted a better understanding of sexuality and sexual health as it relates to LGBT people. Note : In the 1960s to mid-1970s the word “gay” was a generally accepted umbrella term that included lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. 1966 Stephen Donaldson (nee Robert Martin, 1946-1996) founds the Student Homophile League at Columbia University and New York University; in 1967 Columbia University is first in United States to officially recognize a gay student group. 1967 Margo Rila and Frank Esposito facilitate a Sexual Freedom League bisexual rap group in San Francisco. 1968 Bi Alliance begins at the University of Minnesota. It offers groups for women, for men, and a newsletter 1969 Maggi Rubenstein, RN, comes out during a staff meeting at a San Francisco mental health facility serving lesbian, gay, transgender and heterosexual people; bisexuals then included in programming. Brenda Howard (1946-2005) conceives and coordinates a one-month Stonewall Rebellion anniversary rally, and later, a one year march and celebration. This became the annual New York City Pride March that, in turn, spawned Pride Marches around the country and the world. 1972 Don Fass founds the National Bisexual Liberation group in New York City. The group’s goal is social and consciousness-raising. It publishes a pamphlet, “Bi-Sexual Expression.” Maggi Rubenstein, RN provides bisexual content for the University of California’s San Francisco Sex Counseling Program.

Or when. You can only decide how you're going to live. Now.\" - Joan Baez A Brief History of the Bisexual Movement THE EARLY DAYS Bisexuals have been part of the modern Lesbian and Gay Civil Rights and Liberation Movement since at least the mid-1960s. For a variety of reasons bisexuals have also organized separately while continuing to be active in gay, lesbian and other progressive movements. Throughout the 1970s while popular press articles focused on \"bisexual chic\" in the club scene and among celebrities such as Elton John, David Bowie and Patti Smith, bisexual groups formed in several large US cities signaling the birth of the modern Bisexual Civil Rights and Liberation Movement. 1972 - The Quaker Committee of Friends on Bisexuality issues the \"Ithaca Statement on Bisexuality\" which appears in The Advocate, a national gay and lesbian news magazine. The statement announces a new bisexual consciousness to gay readers. 1972 - The National Bisexual Liberation Group forms in New York. Within three years, more than 5,500 members in 10 US chapters receive what is probably the earliest bisexual newsletter, The Bisexual Expression. 1975 - Bi Forum, a social, educational, and support group, forms in New York \"to encourage awareness of bisexual issues in a non threatening and non judgmental environment.\" At its peak in 1980, BiForum has more than 200 active members and a mailing list of several thousand. 1976 - The San Francisco Bisexual Center, the longest surviving bisexual community center, opens its doors. A social and educational organization, it offers counseling and support services to Bay Area bisexuals and publishes a newsletter, The Bi Monthly, from 1976 to 1984. 1977 - Alan Rockway, a psychologist and bisexual activist, co-authors the nation's first successful gay rights ordinance put to public vote, in Dade County, Florida. When former Miss America and orange juice spokesperson, Anita Bryant, initiates her viciously homophobic \"Save Our Children\" campaign in response to the ordinance, Dr. Rockway conceives of and initiates a national \"gaycott\" of Florida orange juice. The Florida Citrus Commission cancels Ms. Bryant's million dollar contract as a result of the \"gaycott.\" 1977 - The San Francisco Bisexual Center, in coalition with members of" }, { "id": "WB-BISEXUALITY-INDEX-HTML", "title": "BINETUSA.ORG", "path": "bisexuality/index.html", "url": "https://binetusa.org/archive/bisexuality/", "topic": "bisexuality", "status": "restored", "source_ids": [ "WAYBACK-CDX-BINETUSA-BATCH1" ], "original_url": "http://www.binetusa.org:80/bisexuality/", "capture_year": "2006", "text": "BINETUSA.ORG bisexuality/index.html bisexuality restored BINETUSA.ORG" }, { "id": "WB-BISEXUALITY-QANDA-HTML", "title": "BINETUSA.ORG", "path": "bisexuality/qanda.html", "url": "https://binetusa.org/archive/bisexuality/qanda.html", "topic": "bisexuality", "status": "restored", "source_ids": [ "WAYBACK-CDX-BINETUSA-BATCH1" ], "original_url": "http://www.binetusa.org:80/bisexuality/qanda.html", "capture_year": "2006", "text": "BINETUSA.ORG bisexuality/qanda.html bisexuality restored BINETUSA.ORG" }, { "id": "WB-BISEXUALITY-RANDR-HTML", "title": "binetusa.org", "path": "bisexuality/randr.html", "url": "https://binetusa.org/archive/bisexuality/randr.html", "topic": "bisexuality", "status": "restored", "source_ids": [ "WAYBACK-CDX-BINETUSA-BATCH1" ], "original_url": "http://www.binetusa.org:80/bisexuality/randr.html", "capture_year": "2004", "text": "binetusa.org bisexuality/randr.html bisexuality restored binetusa.org" }, { "id": "WB-PAGES-BILINKS-HTML", "title": "BiNet USA: Links To Many Sites of Interest and Use", "path": "Pages/BiLinks.html", "url": "https://binetusa.org/archive/Pages/BiLinks.html", "topic": "bisexuality", "status": "restored", "source_ids": [ "WAYBACK-CDX-BINETUSA-STATIC-INTERNAL-LINK-RESCUE-PAGES" ], "original_url": "http://www.binetusa.org:80/Pages/BiLinks.html", "capture_year": "2009", "text": "BiNet USA: Links To Many Sites of Interest and Use Pages/BiLinks.html bisexuality restored BiNet USA: Links To Many Sites of Interest and Use Home About BiNet USA Bi News & Opinions More Columns Bisexual Groups Resources & Links Calendar $$ Buy Bi Stuff $$ Bi Health Timeline Faces of BiNet USA Bisexuality Wiki FAQ Contact BiNet USA Legacy form disabled in the static archive. we're on Facebook are you? meet me on Myspace BiNet USA News + Opinions News, Essays and Editorials binetusa.blogspot.com BiMagazine Your Community Your Magazine www.bimagazine.org read 'Curried Spam' on Livejournal American Institute of Bisexuality (AIB) Bisexual Resource Center (BRC) Camping.Out First Freedom First Welcome to BiNet USA.

Bring any materials you have for making your own sign -- we'll have some, too. As suggested by Ted Thomas, the bi contingent organizer, consider making a sign to show your connections with queer organizations you volunteer with or work for. After you make your sign, you can help make the big pennants to be carried in front of the Switch Hitters Pride March Baseball Team or the little pennants to be given out to the crowd. Watch our cheerleaders practice and help us think of cheers and chants to stir up the March watchers. Meet on the Dolores Street side of the park, near the middle. The park is between 18th and 20th Streets, and between Church and Dolores Streets, in the Mission District. Public transportation: BART 16th Street Station or the J Church MUNI stop at the corner of 18th and Church. You can easily walk from MUNI's Church Street Station, too.

For a variety of reasons bisexuals have also organized separately while continuing to be active in gay, lesbian and other progressive movements. Throughout the 1970s while popular press articles focused on \"bisexual chic\" in the club scene and among celebrities such as Elton John, David Bowie and Patti Smith, bisexual groups formed in several large US cities signaling the birth of the modern Bisexual Civil Rights and Liberation Movement. 1970' s 1972 - The Quaker Committee of Friends on Bisexuality issues the \"Ithaca Statement on Bisexuality\" which appears in The Advocate, a national gay and lesbian news magazine. The statement announces a new bisexual consciousness to gay readers. 1972 - The National Bisexual Liberation Group forms in New York. Within three years, more than 5,500 members in 10 US chapters receive what is probably the earliest bisexual newsletter, The Bisexual Expression. 1975 - Bi Forum, a social, educational, and support group, forms in New York \"to encourage awareness of bisexual issues in a non threatening and non judgmental environment.\" At its peak in 1980, BiForum has more than 200 active members and a mailing list of several thousand. 1976 - The San Francisco Bisexual Center, the longest surviving bisexual community center, opens its doors. A social and educational organization, it offers counseling and support services to Bay Area bisexuals and publishes a newsletter, The Bi Monthly, from 1976 to 1984. 1977 - Alan Rockway, a psychologist and bisexual activist, co-authors the nation's first successful gay rights ordinance put to public vote, in Dade County, Florida. When former Miss America and orange juice spokesperson, Anita Bryant, initiates her viciously homophobic \"Save Our Children\" campaign in response to the ordinance, Dr. Rockway conceives of and initiates a national \"gaycott\" of Florida orange juice.

I first worked with her during the mobilization of the 1987 March on Washington for LG Rights. In those days we organized by phone and answering machines. She knew how to work the phone!! Brenda was part of the core group of bi delegates (and some gay activists} who actively lobbied and educated gay and lesbian delegates from around the country who successfully got bisexual into the title of the 1993 March on Washington for Lesbian, Gay and Bi Equal Rights and Liberation. She ... always stood up and spoke out for bisexual people and challenged biphobia even in the most hostile environments.\" A memorial was held July 31 at the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center.

A nip is in the air and cries of \"Come out! Come out! Where ever you are!\" are everywhere. I truly believe in coming out - for bisexuals more than anyone. In this monosexual world, you are assumed straight if you're with a man; a lesbian if you're with a woman. You practically have to have sex on Main Street with more than one gender before someone thinks the \"b\" word. Then, you're just one of those kinky perverts. True, it will be a beautiful day on this planet when no one cares - when you can just be yourself and that's enough. But until that day, the best thing I can do is let my family, friends, coworkers know that the person across from them at lunch is bisexual� Maybe I can add one more shade to their definition. OK, end of sermon. This isn't about why you should come out; there will plenty of that elsewhere. My big problem this year is: who to come out to. I've done the work thing, the friend thing, the family thing. My house is practically a shrine to all that is bi. My office has rainbow balloons, pins, bumper stickers, yada, yada. But I'm not done by far. I could tell my dad� But that would require forcing him to decide between his psycho homophobic religion and me. And, h 6is prone to violence�. Ok, admit it - I'm a wimp! I'm not ready to risk that relationship quite yet. Right now, we're doing the \"don't ask, don't tell\" policy. As long as no words are shared, I can have all the bi stuff in my house. He still hasn't forgiven me for voting for Clinton! I could tell the in-laws, but they've both just had double bypasses and I don't want to be held responsible for the next heart attacks. There's no one else in the family to tell (they all know). Lets see, friends? Everyone knows. Its a rite of passage in any friendship. Coworkers? My entire office (all 6 of us) knows. The home office half knows. I suppose I could send out an all@company email, but that seems kinda extreme. I know, my Fedex goddess! She brings me stuff at least once a week. We chitchat a bit. We've made eye contact. She's even smiled at me. That's a relationship, right? Maybe its the uniform, but she seems dykey. Who knows, maybe she'll drop to her knees and express her undying lust for me. She'll break down and beg me to marry her. She'll offer me the world.

It’s the largest convening of LGBT activists and is not to be missed,” says Rea Carey, executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. “Creating Change is a ‘can’t miss/got to be there’ opportunity for our movement activists and leaders to learn from each other and to be inspired by our featured speakers.” More about the keynote speakers Thomas A.

First Person History By Cliff Arnesen ( Copyright 2007. The views expressed are strictly those of the writer and not necessarily those of BiNet USA or any of its other officers. At around the age of four, my loving mother who, in an attempt to protect me from a violent, alcoholic father who physically abused both of us, reluctantly placed me in an orphanage. During my two years stay I was placed into a foster home, but was quickly returned to the orphanage because I was hyperactive. At age six, I was discharged from the orphanage and sent back to live with my mother who lived on welfare in a one room apartment in Brooklyn, NY, as she had a heart condition which prevented her from working. During the last year of the four that we lived together, she took me out of school due to my hyperactivity and tried to school me at home because I could not read or write at age nine. Realizing I needed special remedial attention, and understanding that she could not raise me alone on welfare in a cramped, one room apartment, at age ten, my mother sent me away to the predominately African American, Wiltwyck School for Boys. The same school which the late Claude Brown, author of the 1965 best selling book �Manchild In The Promised Land,� attended; as did former Heavyweight Boxing Champion of the World, Mr. Floyd Patterson. During the seven years I spent at Wiltwyck, I met and became friends with the late First Lady, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, who founded the Wiltwyck School, and who held annual summer picnics for all one hundred of us boys at her beautiful estate in Hyde Park, New York. At age sixteen, I was discharged from Wiltwyck and sent back to live with my mother. At seventeen, I dropped out of high school in the tenth grade and talked my mother into signing a waiver for me to join the US Army--in an attempt to escape from a life of poverty, filled with despair and devoid of hope. However, several weeks into basic training at Fort Dix, New Jersey, I realized that although I had managed to escape from the negative environment in Brooklyn, I had also painted myself into a corner. I felt cornered because I agonized over the painful reality of having to conceal the �attraction and affection� I felt in " }, { "id": "WB-HOME-INDEX-HTML", "title": "BiNet USA", "path": "home/index.html", "url": "https://binetusa.org/archive/home/", "topic": "organization", "status": "restored", "source_ids": [ "WAYBACK-CDX-BINETUSA-STATIC-CDX-BROAD-20260616" ], "original_url": "http://www.binetusa.org:80/", "capture_year": "2009", "text": "BiNet USA home/index.html organization restored BiNet USA About BiNet USA Bi News & Opinions More Columns Bisexual Groups Resources & Links Calendar $$ Buy Bi Stuff $$ Bi Health Timeline Faces of BiNet USA Bisexuality Wiki FAQ Contact BiNet USA Legacy form disabled in the static archive. we're on Facebook are you? meet me on Myspace BiNet USA News + Opinions News, Essays and Editorials binetusa.blogspot.com BiMagazine Your Community Your Magazine www.bimagazine.org read 'Curried Spam' on Livejournal American Institute of Bisexuality (AIB) Bisexual Resource Center (BRC) First Freedom First Welcome to BiNet USA.

Currently, there are six initiatives listed to your right. Each one has a great deal of information listed about the initiative, as well as plenty of volunteer opportunities for people interested in getting more involved in the inner workings of BiNet USA. Also, every initiative leader is always looking for volunteers ! There is so much to do with every initiative that BiNet USA is undertaking, if you could even spare an hour or two a week, it would be greatly appreciated. Just email the coordinator of your initiative! The Fundraising Commitee, headed by Marcella Bucknam , is self-explanatory, but without funds, BiNet USA goes nowhere! The Technology Initiative, headed by Jon Spinner (Webgod in chief of the web diety triumvirate), seeks to expand the outreach and effectiveness of BiNet USA through the Internet and other technologies. The Youth Initiative seeks to reach out to young people who are struggling with their identity, to let them know that they are not alone, and that there is someplace safe near them where they can get assistance and information. The Education Initiative , seeks to increase the further the awareness of Bisexuals in the educational community, by working to shift the focus of established groups (such as GLSEN) and helping to remove prejudice from students of all ages. The Ally Campaign, headed by Marcella Bucknam ,, is BiNet USA's effort to align itself with other organizations, particularly in the Gay and Lesbian community, who share the same commitments to ending discrimination. The Rural Initiative seeks to improve the distribution of information about Bisexuality to those areas not usually served by city-based organizations. The Multicultural Initiative seeks to ensure that everyone feels welcome in BiNet. Contact Gigi for more information In the Ally Campaign, we invited 62 organizations--progressive, LGBT and communities of faith--to align themselves with BiNet and their goals.

Has yet to defend her thesis (last looked at 2 years ago). She's currently a software engineer at Applied Microsystems. She's been married since 1985 to Brian. No kids, no cats. Today's fish count is 2 (the third died yesterday). yada, yada... Wendy's bi evolution: I had crushes on grrls in high school, but didn't see them as such. I just knew I wanted to be around certain people. I was busy dating the \"right\" guys, while lusting after the wrong ones. I was in love with my step-cousin/best friend, Leeann. Hugging her sent shocks through my body. So, I gave up my virginity to her cousin, Ralph. It was almost like being with her. I fell in love with my next best friend, who rescued me from a not so nice guy. This time, he fell in love back and we moved into together when i was 17, married at 18. I didn't figured out I was bi (never thought about it) until I was reading a \"Letters\" magazine (immediately after turning 18). It had one of those trashy lesbo scenes. Thats the first time I ever thought about my attractions to wimmin as anything but friendship. Suddenly things made sense. When I got married, I made them wipe out all references to obey and keep me only to him. I knew that, when the time came, I'd try to figure out where I fell on the Kinsey scale. I chased one lesbian for 3 years; I panicked a bit the first time we got serious. I knew she'd be my \"first\". I ended up sleeping with her (and my) close friend. They were in a band together (with my husband). It was a one time thing, but I felt like somehow my dykedom was authenticated. There's was no bi community in Bangor, Maine in the mid 80's. I went to the GLb (note the capitalization) group, Wilde Stein. They let me be the token bi. I found bifem-l listserv; it became a second home.

I have to say, I’ve had mixed emotions. Part of me thinks that it may be time to let it go. Part of me thinks it’s wrong to depend on a few large donors to support the group, that the mission statement lacks focus, that there’s no new leadership stepping up to take over the past leadership that made our group so vital. And, like a lot of other people, I have put aside my activist involvement and focused on more pressing, more personal needs and goals. Donating money wasn’t the question, it was how much. Virtually every dime (and more) I’ve made writing about the B-word (including the fun Bi Book I’ve received an advance on for Alyson, but haven’t even started) has gone to Bi groups and Bi causes for the past 13 years. I have to tell you, though that every day I get e-mails from new Bi friends for my Planet Out and BiCafe columns, thanking me for my thoughts, information and inspiration. That keeps me going and realizing how important what we do is, even on a small scale. So, I was thinking what I should, what I could give. Faced with a few thousand dollars worth of dental bills, a dying car, a dying father, an ever-increasing mortgage, an unsteady job, mounting medical bills, etc., I could come up with many legitimate excuses for why giving a dime could be difficult for me, and I don’t think any of my friends would have blinked. Then, I tried to figure out what I got from BiNet and wondered what was that of value to me? Is it possible to put a price on the friendships, sources, companions, compatriots, professional colleagues I’ve gained from this group? Is it possible to put a pricetag on the self-awareness, the knowledge and the self-discovery I’ve gone through meeting the people I’ve met through BiNet? How many hours of work from my paycheck is it worth to me to save this organization? Putting a pricetag on that even seemed petty, considering the countless thousands of free hours the people involved in the group before me have given up - for me and for us all. I kept coming back to one number, it’s going to hurt me, it’s going to set me back, it’s going to challenge me, but it seemed to make sense.

And, like a lot of other people, I have put aside my activist involvement and focused on more pressing, more personal needs and goals. Donating money wasn’t the question, it was how much. Virtually every dime (and more) I’ve made writing about the B-word (including the fun Bi Book I’ve received an advance on for Alyson, but haven’t even started) has gone to Bi groups and Bi causes for the past 13 years. I have to tell you, though that every day I get e-mails from new Bi friends for my Planet Out and BiCafe columns, thanking me for my thoughts, information and inspiration. That keeps me going and realizing how important what we do is, even on a small scale. So, I was thinking what I should, what I could give. Faced with a few thousand dollars worth of dental bills, a dying car, a dying father, an ever-increasing mortgage, an unsteady job, mounting medical bills, etc., I could come up with many legitimate excuses for why giving a dime could be difficult for me, and I don’t think any of my friends would have blinked. Then, I tried to figure out what I got from BiNet and wondered what was that of value to me? Is it possible to put a price on the friendships, sources, companions, compatriots, professional colleagues I’ve gained from this group? Is it possible to put a pricetag on the self-awareness, the knowledge and the self-discovery I’ve gone through meeting the people I’ve met through BiNet? How many hours of work from my paycheck is it worth to me to save this organization? Putting a pricetag on that even seemed petty, considering the countless thousands of free hours the people involved in the group before me have given up - for me and for us all. I kept coming back to one number, it’s going to hurt me, it’s going to set me back, it’s going to challenge me, but it seemed to make sense. It doesn’t matter how much you give " }, { "id": "WB-NETWORK-HTML", "title": "BiNet USA: Page Has Moved", "path": "network.html", "url": "https://binetusa.org/archive/network.html", "topic": "organization", "status": "restored", "source_ids": [ "WAYBACK-CDX-BINETUSA-BATCH1" ], "original_url": "http://binetusa.org:80/network.html", "capture_year": "2009", "text": "BiNet USA: Page Has Moved network.html organization restored BiNet USA: Page Has Moved About BiNet USA Faces of BiNet USA Bisexual Groups News & Updates Bi History Timeline Bi Health Timeline Our ByLaws Links * Buy Bi Stuff * Columns Legacy form disabled in the static archive. we're on Facebook are you? meet me on Myspace read 'Curried Spam' on Livejournal American Institute of Bisexuality (AIB) Bisexual Resource Center (BRC) Camping.Out First Freedom First This page has been moved, being redirected now.

Penn Points By Denise Penn June 2004 Why Bisexual Conferences are Important \"Conferences\" -- what image does this word conger up? Some of us who have to attend professional conferences groan at the thought of long speeches and rubber chicken lunches while we \"network\" with others in our field. But bisexual conferences are so much more than that. Some bisexuals live in areas with well-established social, political and support networks such as Boston, San Francisco, San Diego and Los Angeles. But for those of us who live in areas where there are no groups, a bi conference may be the only place to actually meet other bisexuals. They are a wonderful opportunity for artistic and academic collaboration, networking, and sharing ideas and resources. For example, in the early nineties I was at The Bi-West Conference, a bi conference held in San Diego. At lunch I was surprised to discover that there were several people there from Orange County. Each of us had experienced feelings of isolation and come to the conference to meet others, but never imagined that we would find people who lived close to us. We shared ideas, and decided to start a support network in our own community. Part of the reason this is so important for bisexuals is because of the issue of visibility; even bisexuals who are active in LGBT groups are defined by the gender of their partner or person they are currently dating. Another important aspect of bisexual conferences is that the events, workshops and sessions go beyond education and networking: a bisexual conference is a place where bi culture is defined and celebrated. Bi Net Los Angeles the first ever \"anti-conference\" -- BAFFLED (Bisexual Arts, Film Festival, Literature, Entertainment and Drama) in the late nineties. The anti-conference avoided the typical mundane activities. A special commemoration for Andy Dick and author/adult entertainer Rev. Geoffrey Karen Dior was included, as well as a performance from bisexual comedian Michael Dane. Since 1991, International conferences on Bisexuality have been held in all parts of the world, giving this conference an international flavor. The First International Conference On Bisexuality was held in 1991 in Amsterdam." }, { "id": "WB-REGIONAL-CENTRAL-LOCAL-SHTML", "title": "BiNet USA: Regional: Central: Local Organizations", "path": "regional/central/local.shtml", "url": "https://binetusa.org/archive/regional/central/local.shtml", "topic": "organization", "status": "restored", "source_ids": [ "WAYBACK-CDX-BINETUSA-STATIC-INTERNAL-LINK-REGIONAL-SPILLOVER" ], "original_url": "http://binetusa.org:80/regional/central/local.shtml", "capture_year": "1999", "text": "BiNet USA: Regional: Central: Local Organizations regional/central/local.shtml organization restored BiNet USA: Regional: Central: Local Organizations [an error occurred while processing this directive] © 1998 BiNet USA P.O.

Hello, I live with my wife and four of my five kids, my oldest child lives in her own home now with her affianced. I have four sons and a foster son, but the foster son is now in the Air Force. I am a member of the International Black Belt Hall of Fame. My wife and I are happily married and are still performing musicians though we own a music school in the small town in which we live and I also still teach Martial Arts. We have a few students who are LGBT and who have come out to us because they feel safe here and that they can be themselves and their parents occasionally come to us just to have someone who can listen. I figured myself out about the time that I turned 13 and from that point on I knew who I was and generally most of my friends just figured it out as they got to know me. Never really hid it and never really carried the sign or wore the T-shirt, so to speak. I also write mostly academic material in religion and philosophy but some fiction. I'm working on a series of short stories that address some social issues (a guarantee that they will not be noticed). I also write and record music and I am perpetually working on a CD that never seems to get finished, and my PhD thesis is progressing just as quickly. I am dyslexic and ambidextrous, which I am told can make me irritating to fence with. I also do stand up comedy. I can't work on mechanical things and usually don't know the date but I am clear on key and time signature. I could give myself a surprise party if I planned more that two weeks in advance but I can tell you what song each of well over fifty music students is doing. As for my personal identity struggles, I can�t really say that there were any though I know that many others had some difficulty. My adoptive family was pretty dysfunctional about most things but there always were LGBT in the family with two of my adult male relatives being Bi and generally positive role models. I had four sibling there, one is dead one can�t even come out to the mirror; the other two are nice people who are happily oblivious in general. The family just felt that it was the business of the individual so it would be rude to say anything about it or pry.

For many years the volunteers and membership of BiNet USA have done some of the finest grassroots work in the LGBT movement. They have been a consistent voice for a politics of inclusion during an era that prefers to parse out who deserves what rights and when. During the five years I have worked for COLAGE and participated in groups like the National Policy Roundtable and other leadership gatherings, I have witnessed the profound need for the representation of the large bisexual segment of the LGBT communities. BiNet USA is that voice. I have been inspired and impressed by the work BiNet USA has done for the community and society at large over the years. They have leveraged scarce resources effectively and smartly. I am excited about the new mission, the organizational development, and capacity building that is taking place within BiNet USA. Their new vision and their track record add up to the ability to create tangible change at the national, state, and local levels. As the executive director of COLAGE (Children of Lesbian and Gays Everywhere), I have very pressing demands on my time in the community as it is, and knowing that BiNet USA is doing such a fabulous job speaking up for all of our issues, has led me to support them wholeheartedly. As far as I am aware, I am the only openly bisexual executive director of a national organization working for LGBT rights. Leaders and colleagues in BiNet USA have given me much needed personal support over the years as I have struggled with isolation and sometimes painful ignorance. Additionally, I know that many of the families I work with face struggles around the invisibility of bisexuality both inside the community and in mainstream culture, as well as tremendous prejudice against bisexuality everywhere. BiNet USA is part of the answer to reducing that invisibility and prejudice. As society's examination of the origins and changeability of sexuality orientation becomes \"fashionable\" in scientific and conservative institutions it is more important than ever for groups like BiNet USA to be involved in taking the discussion to a deeper level and shifting it away from a polarity model. It has become apparent, from recent press coverage around the \"origin\" of sexual orientation, that bisexualit" }, { "id": "WB-WEBLINKS-HTM", "title": "Bisexual Resources", "path": "weblinks.htm", "url": "https://binetusa.org/archive/weblinks.htm", "topic": "organization", "status": "restored", "source_ids": [ "WAYBACK-CDX-BINETUSA-STATIC-INTERNAL-LINK-ROOT-PAGES" ], "original_url": "http://www.binetusa.org:80/weblinks.htm", "capture_year": "2002", "text": "Bisexual Resources weblinks.htm organization restored Bisexual Web Pages Bisexual Resources Legacy form disabled in the static archive.

Join BiNet USA as an Individual BiNet USA is the country's only grassroots national membership organization dedicated to building strong Bi communities and ending biphobia. The idea for BiNet was first brought forth at the March on Washington when dozens of Bi's from all over the country met at hotel room and collectively saw the need to end the stereotypes, the discrimination and the oppression of people behaving or identifying as Bisexual. The seed bore fruit in 1990 at the National Conference on Bisexuality in San Francisco with the formal establishment of BiNet USA. Since then, BiNet USA has grown into a strong democratic organization with a voice heard in the press, on television, on Capital Hill, at conferences and in gay and lesbian organizations around the country. In 1995, BiNet applied for the 501c(3) status as a non-profit organization. The goals of BiNet USA are clear: to Educate on the myths and realities of Bisexuality to Facilitate the development of Bisexual community to Work for the equal rights and liberation of all oppressed people to Reflect in organization and ideals that we strive for in the community at large to Build a financially viable and stable organization Because there is so much work still to be done before Bisexuals and all sexual minorities are able to participate fully, as an equal, in society. Discrimination and oppression, both external and internal, are found every day. Together, working at a national and local level, organizations can have a great impact, whether it is educating, building communities or building financially viable organizations. Annual Dues: BiNet USA suggests you contribute $1 per $1,000 of annual income. No one is denied membership due to lack of funds. As a member you will receive a quarterly newsletter, and you can attend and vote at regional and national meetings. All Individual members have an equal voice in decisions made by the membership. The first $15 of your annual dues pay for the newsletter, and are not tax-deductible.
