		<description><![CDATA[With less than three months before this year&#8217;s BiCon gathering of bi and bi-friendly folk, we wanted to highlight an important date coming up in two weeks&#8217; time. The organisers say, &#8220;Accessibility to all is one of BiCon’s core values. We want you to be able to enjoy BiCon regardless of disability, sickness, childcare commitments or income. One of the main ways we help people to come to BiCon is provide financial help in meeting their needs through the Equality Fund.&#8221; If you want to apply for help from the Equalities Fund please note the deadline for applications is Friday 1st June 2012. &#160;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The third BiReCon conference on bisexuality research is just three months away now &#8211; on 9th August 2012. A day later the annual BiCon conference begins &#8211; a yearly gathering of bi and bifriendly people with a much broader programme. Held in Bradford the day before BiCon begins, the BiReCon conference brings together academics and others interested in bisexuality research, and other research and theory work that has bi relevance. You don&#8217;t have to be an academic or work in a university to attend &#8211; though if you do it&#8217;s an unparalleled networking and learning opportunity. Find out more about booking on the BiCon website.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Have you booked yet for this year&#8217;s biggest bi event? BiCon is an annual gathering for bisexual people, their friends, partners and anyone with a supportive interest in bisexuality. It takes place annually and is held over a long weekend, usually in the summer, and has been hosted at various locations over the years. BiCon 2012 will take place in Bradford on Thursday 9th – Monday 13th August 2012. There will be discussion groups, workshops and activities during the day and social space and entertainment in the evening. Most people chose to stay in the on-site accommodation but we also have options for registration only (if you live locally or would like to arrange your own accommodation) and one day tickets.

		<description><![CDATA[Call for Papers &#8211; BiReCon 2012: Bisexuality and mental health **Deadline extended to 31st March 2012**Research suggests that bisexual people are more likely to experience depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicidality than lesbian, gay or heterosexual people. Biphobia and bisexual invisibility can mean that if bi people seek help from health professionals and therapists they are not always well supported. However it is also clear that many bisexual people experience benefits to their mental wellbeing from being bi, such as a sense of independence, self-awareness and authenticity and an ability to develop identities and relationships without restrictions. In this conference we aim to explore both mental health problems and mental wellbeing for bisexual people. BiReCon is a conference for anyone with an interest in contributing to, or finding out about, current work on bisexuality. The conference aims to bring together academics, professionals, activists, and the bisexual community. It is organised by BiUK (www.biuk.org) and is held every two years – see the BiUK website for information about past BiReCons. This year it will take place on Thursday 9thAugust 2012 at Bradford University. Confirmed keynote speakers include: - Dr Roshan das Nair (University of Nottingham / Nottingham University NHS Trust) &#8216;Intersectionality: Complicating [...]]]></description>
