		<description><![CDATA[Orlando Jordan is a professional wrestler. He came out as bisexual in April 2010, proudly waving the bi flag on TNA Wrestling&#8217;s &#8220;Impact&#8221; programme. After leaving TNA, who chose to call him &#8220;eccentric&#8221; and &#8220;bipolar&#8221; rather than bisexual, he&#8217;s moved on to Australia&#8217;s AAW promotion, and is their current World Heavyweight Champion. He appeared on the cover of the August 2010 issue of Bi Community News. &#160; Submit your favourite bi people and events to remember for LGBT History Month – see here for details]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Secretary of State for Wales resigned on 27 October 1998 following what he would later call a &#8220;moment of madness&#8221; that led to him being mugged by a man he had met on London&#8217;s Clapham Common. The Common was a well-known meeting place for men looking for casual sex with other men. Caerphilly MP Ron Davies was at the peak of his political career: an MP since 1983, now a cabinet member of the New Labour government which had taken power 18 months earlier. He had steered the creation of the devolved Assembly for Wales and despite the Clapham Common scandal went on to be elected as member for that town in that Assembly in 1999. He came out as bisexual to a hostile press and stood down as MP in 2001, but his political career was not over: he&#8217;s now an elected councillor and sits as Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Planning on Caerphilly&#8217;s local council. &#160; &#160; Submit your favourite bi people and events to remember for LGBT History Month – see here for details]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve already mentioned its role as home of the first UK bi group but London has another claim to fame in modern bi history. Three years after London Bi Group&#8217;s first meeting, they organised a two-day conference to talk about all things bi. Titled &#8220;The Politics Of Bisexuality&#8220;, that two-day meeting at the Factory Community Project was a first step that grew to become an annual conference still held to this day &#8211; though we now know it as BiCon. The conference write-up in the ensuing edition of Bi Monthly talks about defining bisexuality, bisexuality and politics, and &#8216;image&#8217; &#8211; what we might now talk about as bisexual invisibility and &#8216;passing&#8217;. It also highlighted education, the need to reach young people with support and information. There were two such conferences in 1985, and they have been held every year since, becoming a pillar of the UK bi scene &#8211; this summer&#8217;s event in Bradford will be the 30th. &#160; &#160; Submit your favourite bi people and events to remember for LGBT History Month – see here for details]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Any LGBT history before the modern era depends on interpretation. It&#8217;s hard to map our current concepts of sexual orientation on to times and cultures that may be very different. Because of this Oscar Wilde has been variously &#8216;claimed&#8217; as gay or bisexual: the imprisonment that led to his early death was for &#8220;gross indecency&#8221; &#8211; sexual acts with another man. However, his marriage and his youthful dalliance with Florence Balcombe suggest to us he was quite keen on women too. &#160; Submit your favourite bi people and events to remember for LGBT History Month – see here for details]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[BiFest events happen all over the UK and increasingly often these days &#8211; in the first half of this year they are lined up for Oxford, Cardiff and London, and that&#8217;s just the ones we know about. The first &#8220;BiFest&#8221; one-day-long bi awareness-raising festival was in February 1999 in London at the UCL on Malet Street. It included a bisexual march long nearby streets that drew 49 people &#8211; just short of the 50 required by the police for it to be allowed on the road. That meant that what would have blocked off a small strip of road instead occupied a long stretch of pavement as the bisexuals had to march more or less two by two. So far as we know that makes it a double first &#8211; the first BiFest and the first bi parade. Unless you know better? &#160; Submit your favourite bi people and events to remember for LGBT History Month – see here for details]]></description>
