July 4 - The US Supreme court ruled on June 30th, the last day of Pride Month, that the civil rights of protected classes of people, LGBTQ+, BIPOC, women, etc., are secondary to the right of both an individual as a business and business organizations that hold religious views, to discriminate against them.

LABTF offers a range of bi+ trainings for your workplace, university, or conference in Greater LA. Our presentations are facilitated by expert speakers and educators and are based on cutting-edge research, and historical and community narratives. We have presented at venues such as Lionsgate, USC, and CalTech.
The Bi-Alogue series honored Bi Elders for LGBTQ History Month in Oct 2022 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.
Read the full story here. Photo Gallery at bottom of Bi+ Blog page.
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.
Interested in volunteering for LABTF? We currently have spots available on our three teams: Education, Advocacy, and Marketing, also for general volunteering on an as-needed basis. Here's a brief description of our Teams:
* EDUCATION Team - educational presentations like Bi+ Ed workshops and Bi-alogue series; creation of educational materials; blogging
* ADVOCACY Team - townhalls/community check-ins; political campaigns; ensuring inclusion in mainstream LGBTQ spaces
* VISIBILITY Team - social media outreach; website maintenance; newsletter development; merchandising
Each Team meets once every two months on Thu evenings. Commitment is flexible - attend as much or as little depending on availability. You may opt out at any time. Sign-up here.
