Bi+ Salon on Thursday, July 10: Bisexual Community

6/30/2014

Bi+ Salon is a moderated discussion on various topics held on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. It is open to all bi+ people: bisexual, pansexual, fluid, unlabeled, or otherwise non-monosexual people. Bi+ Salon is offered free-of-charge.

On Thursday, July 10, 2014, Bi+ Salon will be facilitated by BOP Board Chair Camille Holthaus. Here's her description of the discussion topic:

People talk about the Bisexual Community. Many of us feel there is one, a lot of people are still looking for one. What does community mean in this context? Why do we need one? How do you build a community and what do you do with it once you have it?

Community is one of my passions from understanding the important role they serve for both individuals and the larger society to exploring how community organizations work, or more often, don't work.

Come join me for this discussion where we'll share our ideas and do a little community building at the same time!

Bi Salon is the second Thursday of every Month. We gather at 6:00 pm to chit chat and get settled. If you are ordering something please try and order it once you get here to minimize noise during the discussion. We will start the discussion at 6:15 pm until 7:30 pm. Look for the bi flags on the table.

BECAUSE

BECAUSE 2020

BECAUSE 2020 Cancelled
The BECAUSE leadership team and the BOP board have been reviewing forecasts for what this Fall will look like including continued COVID hotspots, limitations on travel, and how people are going to be feeling about being large groups. We feel the most responsible action at this time is to cancel BECAUSE 2020. We have explored moving the conference on line as many conferences and gatherings have done and find it is not the best option for BECAUSE.
The BOP board is developing virtual community building that we hope will help bridge this time for our community. Please check out BOP's Facebook Page, Facebook Group, Meetup Group, and Twitter to stay informed of upcoming events.
We are currently in discussion with our location, Wellstone Center, and our planned speakers and special guests to make BECAUSE 2021 one of the best ever. We hope you will join us in October 2021.

Vision

Within the next five years grow Bisexual Organizing Project (BOP) into a successfully-run Upper Midwest nonprofit organization with annual funding of $100,000 that provides community building, education, and advocacy for the bisexual, pansexual, fluid, queer, and unlabeled (bi+) community and our allies.
