New Report: Supporting and Caring for Our Bisexual Youth

9/23/2014

The Bisexual Organizing Project, along with BiNet USA and the Bisexual Resource Center, is proud to support a new report from the Human Rights Campaign Foundation called Supporting and Caring for Our Bisexual Youth.

Bisexual youth face a unique set of challenges that affect their ability to flourish in their families, schools and communities.

Produced in partnership with BiNet USA, Bisexual Organizing Project and the Bisexual Resource Center, this new report Supporting and Caring for our Bisexual Youth helps paint a clearer picture of the lived experiences of bisexual youth. Learning more about these youth will allow parents, caregivers, social workers, teachers and other youth-serving professionals to more effectively nurture and guide them toward successful and happy futures.

This report draws on results from the Human Rights Campaign's 2012 groundbreaking survey of more than 10,000 LGBT youth, ages 13 - 17, in the United States. This report focuses on the nearly 40 percent of survey participants who identified as bisexual.

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.
