Over the years activists I know in some bi communities have said again and again "We should do more outreach outside of our comfort zone of our bi community" which is easier said than done when there is a distinct limit in spoons aka energy levels right now.
However, I've been lucky enough to have a few opportunities to do just this in the last year. I have been invited to speak and participate in the Institute of Equality and Diversity Practitioners (IEDP) Working to Make Equality Happen LGBT Seminar in Birmingham on 24th February.
I've spent months trying to get my material right, decide what to say, think about how to present bisexuality (identity, behaviour, feelings/attraction), biphobia, and what people can do about it in an accessible, coherent and constructive way for an audience of people I hope are working in and care about intersectionality within equalities.
My material has been overdue for a little while, being that person I hate who doesn't answer emails or send the damned stuff. So today I dithered about whether to add just-one-more-thing or not and decided to keep it simple and just send it. I'll live with my omissions and errors!
The lovely Ruth at the IEDP who has already replied and says the files all work (Not a given since I've used a mix of Google, Office 2010 and as little Libre Office as possible to construct the documents).
So without further ado if you wish to read them, see my:
Slides
Sort of Script
Resources and links
I will also try and write up how the event goes afterwards and realtime twitter if poss as well.
