About This Event

Meet your future bi+ besties in this validating, empowering space for bi+ people to come together, reflect and share experiences. Happy Bisexual Visibility Month! This September, join Florence from Bi Bitch in this validating, empowering space for bi+ people to come together, reflect and share experiences — and meet your fabulous future bi besties via speed friending, then carry on the celebrations until late! Because unlocking the power of community is what can really help us say goodbye to biphobia and reclaim our bisexual joy… Who? Anyone who identifies as bi+ (inclusive of trans and non-binary people) and wants to grow their bi-specific community. Why? There is an invisible health crisis impacting bi+ people: we often report not feeling valid or welcome in other queer spaces and beyond — and despite making up around half of the LGBTQ+ community, there is a huge lack of bi-specific spaces and support. The impact of this is significant: we've been found to have some of the highest rates of anxiety, chronic illness, addiction and more. So, it can make a huge difference to meet other bi+ pals who *just get it*. This is your invitation to grow your community and celebrate yourself in a unique, bi-specific space. What to expect: • Icebreakers (with prizes!) • Speed friending in groups — plus conversational prompts, music & vibes • Sharing circle • Option to join after-party drinks at local pub post-8pm Bring on the bi+ joy! 🩷💜💙 Please note: some general photos and videos of the event will be taken on the day, but you are welcome to flag to the host (Florence) if you don't wish to be directly photographed.
