Bisexual Visibility at Manchester Pride

Originally Published September 2014 Last year I took part in Manchester Pride Parade for the first time by joining BiPhoria’s walking entry. It was an amazing, exhilarating experience but I left with a lot of ideas of things I wanted to try for the parade in 2014. The parade at Manchester Pride is massive. Thousands of people … Continue reading Bisexual Visibility at Manchester Pride →

Tip for Putting Flyers on Public Notice Boards

Over the past few weeks I have been distributing flyers for BiCon around the good city of Nottingham. My key discovery has been that lots of places such as bookshops, cafes and supermarkets have mostly empty notice boards. This is because they either don’t provide any drawing pins or don’t provide enough of ’em! Even when I’ve … Continue reading Tip for Putting Flyers on Public Notice Boards →

Convert and Compress Video Files

Sometimes doing bi group stuff throws up new challenges that you have to figure out. A recent one for me was how to shrink a video file so it was small enough to email or share online. I’d filmed a friend give a speech on the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia and didn’t … Continue reading Convert and Compress Video Files →

Something Simple I Learnt From Stonewall’s Bi Consulations

I deliberately waited a few weeks for the adrenaline, excitement, and euphoria to wear off so I could write something more balanced. However by that point … Continue reading Something Simple I Learnt From Stonewall’s Bi Consulations →

Preparing for Pride Season

These days I try to get ready for summer a few months in advance. This is partly because some things like ordering flags, leaflets and stickers can take a while to sort out and get delivered. It’s also because you’ll be a lot busier nearer the time than you are now. The weeks fly by and big events … Continue reading Preparing for Pride Season →

Bi Inclusive Name Changes

Recently I’ve noticed a few charities and organisations have changed their names to include the B and/or T in LGBT. This has been a really positive thing for me as it feels like after years and years of being and feeling excluded by LG named institutions things are finally (slowly!) changing for the better. The … Continue reading Bi Inclusive Name Changes →

Nottinghamshire Pride 2014

Originally published August 2014 over on https://nottinghambi.wordpress.com What a wonderful day! It felt like everyone had come out to join us. I arrived at the parade start point at about 10:30am and was joined by more and more BiTopia members until it was time to start marching. Whilst we were waiting we took photos, played … Continue reading Nottinghamshire Pride 2014 →
