		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[Another date from bi history for you: 6th July 1997 was the first London Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual &#38; Transgender Pride. Previously called Lesbian &#38; Gay Pride, the name change had happened at the start of the year following work in 1996 by a specially convened Pride Bi Working Group. For a couple of years as a result there was a bi space at London Pride, with a bi tent full of stalls and performers &#8211; including &#8220;Glad To Be Gay&#8221; singer Tom Robinson&#8217;s return to London Pride after his outing in the press as having a girlfriend. The day after Pride saw a joint picnic bringing together BiCon 96, London Bi Group, London Bi Women&#8217;s Group, London SM Bisexuals, the Black Bi Group, plus volunteers from the Bisexual Helpline and Bi Community News. &#160; Submit your favourite bi people and events to remember for LGBT History Month – see here for details]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our first bisexual history date for LGBT History Month is 30-and-a-half years ago. That was the first meeting of the London Bisexual Group. The group closed down a few years ago but can be seen as the birth of the UK bi &#8216;movement&#8217; &#8211; it ran for more than 21 years and went on to start the event that would become BiCon. Last summer&#8217;s BiCon started on the 1st September and so featured an exhi-BI-tion of memorabilia from the last 30 years of the UK Bi Community, including magazines articles, cartoons, posters, t-shirts, badges and more. Probably without London Bi Group, or LBG is it tended to get called, many of those things would have ended up happening in another way: but that they happened when and how they did is largely down to that first gathering in 1981. Today LBG has closed but there are other bi groups in London in its place &#8211; try Bisexual Underground, Bi Coffee Meet or London Bi Meetup. &#160; Submit your favourite bi people and events to remember for LGBT History Month &#8211; see here for details]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual &#38; Transgender History Month begins today with events all across the UK over the coming 29 days (it&#8217;s a leap year so we get that little bit more history this time!) Last year there were two bi-specific events that we know of (in London and Manchester) celebrating bi history, but this year we don&#8217;t know of anything especially pertinent to bis going on. Please do tell us about things we&#8217;ve missed! At BiMedia we&#8217;d like to mark LGBT History Month by giving a little dash of visibility to a different bit of bi history each day of February &#8211; but we will need your help. Please nominate &#8211; whether a person or event &#8211; a little bit of bi history you think we should include. It might just be a name or an event, it might be you could add a paragraph or two about what it was and why it mattered (or who&#8230;) &#8211; we can mention your name or keep it anonymous. Hopefully by the end of the month we may have quite a Bi History timeline getting going, which can then be built on as a resource for bi visibility in LGBT History Month [...]]]></description>
