From our Bi-alogue Series...
Knowing your rights and boosting your health go hand in hand
For #BiHealthMonth this year, LABTF is hosting a Bi-alogue panel called "Know Your Bi+ Rights: Intersections Between Bisexuality and the Law."
Check back soon for a link to the discussion and a story about what was discussed as well as the links the guests provided.
This year's theme is "Beyond Visibility" and we believe that educating yourself on LGBTQ rights is one of things our bisexual and pansexual community can do beyond visibility. Our panel features prominent bi+ legal experts and scholars Heron Greenesmith (they/them), Ann Tweedy (she/her), Ezra Young (he/him), and Eliot Tracz (he/him), and will be moderated by LABTF Co-Founder Dr. Mimi Hoang (she/her).
We'll discuss how biphobic and monosexist laws and regulations have historically impacted our community and how recent anti-LGBTQ legislation affects our lives moving forward.
This event is recorded and will be available soon, please check back.

See Photos and the Full Chat
The Bi-Alogue series honored Bi Elders and we now have the entire sold-out interview online for all to enjoy.
Go here to see it on our YouTube page: https://youtu.be/VF4UFeMigeU
We gathered one of the greatest panels of bi+ elders who essentially started the bisexual movement, with a legacy of activism that compiles 251 years of bi history. The Zoom chat is a moment in Bi history in itself.

Please Donate
Please consider our year-round Give Out Day campaign
We are continuing to do Bi+ events, but our booths at Pride festivals, events and Bi+Alogue costs some money, and we are run by volunteers. We depend on our Give Out Day campaign which is a national campaign to support LGBTQ giving. Give Out Day is a safe, easy way to donate to LGBTQ+ causes because all donations go directly to the cause, there are no fees. We have a goal of raising $2000, and you may donate year-round! Please donate here and read about the top 4 bi+ orgs on our Bi+ Blog here.
