World AIDS day 2019

  On #worldaidsday please remember the bisexuals and pansexuals of colour who are demonised as spreaders of sexually transmitted diseases, when the reality is that we face racism and biphobia when trying to access S.T.I help. We experience multiple barriers from medical institutions, from Queer communities and from communities of colour too. It often feels … Continue reading World AIDS day 2019 →

A guest post from N. Gupta   I have basically a 99% hard limit re ‘no white people as lovers/play partners/fuckbuddies.

The Bi Series Takeover happened on 19th August 2017, at the LGBT Foundation in Manchester.  I didn’t know what to expect of this event, with it coming only a week after BiCon.  During BiCon I received several emails and texts from bisexuals of colour about the poor treatment they had received at that event.  I was worried that it would be more of the same at the Takeover.  My worries were for nothing, as it was a very positive event.  I was informed that it had the same amount of bisexuals of colour in attendance as BiCon had (an event 4 times as big).  There were trans only spaces, bisexuals of colour only spaces, and it was all held in a reasonably accessible building.  The heavy rain didn’t seem to put people off, as it was very well attended, with people coming from far and wide.
In the Bi’s of Colour session there were discussions about recent Blackface incidents at LGBT events in Manchester and Durham, and how these insulting acts had to be challenged over and again by People of Colour.  We also spoke about the possibility of a longer Bi’s of Colour event - a retreat or conference; everyone was very happy about that!  The call for submissions to the Bi’s of Colour book was repeated: £50 for any bisexual person of colour whose piece was accepted into the book (we haven’t turned anyone down yet!).  The closing date is 21st December 2017.  If you want to know more, or submit a piece of work, contact us on bis.of.colour@gmail.com

I haven't been to Black Pride for a few years after getting disheartened by biphobia I experienced there.  However I am glad that I attended this year, as I was reassured that if I had any problems, I could speak to someone there.

There were an awful lot of short-shorts, gorgeous legs and fine outfits on display.  The music was fun, and watching a whole crowd of folk doing the “Lean Back” dance was enjoyable.

There were a few community stalls, and a couple of merchandise tables, but the food stalls seemed to be the most visited, with the longest queues!

I had an enjoyable time at Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens.  Black Pride felt very welcoming, and I look forward to returning next year.  Maybe even having a bisexual stall this time…

Help me attend this bisexual conference!

I’ve been a bisexual activist for over 20 years.  I’ve campaigned widely across the UK and Continental Europe for better treatment and visibility of bisexual people of colour.  I’d love to go to BECAUSE, but airfare is ridiculously expensive from the UK to the US.

Please donate at Paypal.me/ACrystalGem and help me go!  However if I don’t raise enough, all money will be put toward the B’is of Colour book fund http://bisofcolour.tumblr.com/post/152552451453/bis-of-colour-book-edited-by-asha-jacq-and-nila.
