The Bi Writers Association presents:

Bi Visibility Weekend

 

Saturday May 30

11am-6:30pm Putting the “B” in LGBT Summit

Keynote Speaker: Robyn Ochs

LGBT Community Center, 208 W 13 St., 7-8 Ave, New York NY 10011

This will be the single most influential event to date on putting the “B” in LGBT!

This Summit brings together bi activists, LGBT rights organizations, journalists, bloggers & political office holders to brainstorm about how to remedy persistent bi-invisibility in reports on LGBT rights issues. We also welcome anyone who would like to learn more about the myths and realities of bisexuality. Meet bi speakers who are married to a same-sex partner, have suffered military discrimination and job discrimination. Fantastic program and amazing roster of speakers!
