3rd Sunday Pgh Bisexual Community Meeting at Dive

September 16th 
Our monthly meeting at Dive Bar and Grille Lawrenceville, 5147 Butler St, Pittsburgh PA 15201. A link to the Facebook event and a description follows.

Sit down restaurant who have been enthusiastic about hosting us, food available, family friendly 
We try to spend at least a small portion of each meeting discussing our personal experiences of being bisexual. 
This event is social and for discussing the unique struggles faced by the bisexual/non-monosexual identifying people in a supportive setting. Wellness indicators in the bisexual-umbrella community are unstintingly bad, and supportive communities are rare if available at all. BiPGH is hoping to fill that gap for Pittsburgh. By inviting you we are hoping that you can help spread the word. Regardless of your own identity, someone you know might need us. We would love to have you join us! 
This event is intended for community building for the Pittsburgh community of Bi-umbrella/non-monosexual identifying individuals as well as supportive partners and friends, and those questioning. This is intended for discussion of oppressions and adversities we are facing as bisexuals and non-monosexuals. All ages, all genders, all relationship statuses and structures. YOU ARE WELCOME HERE. Come on out and enjoy some time with YOUR community!

The Bisexual Umbrella - who do we welcome in the Bisexual Community?

Sunday is our next EVENT ! It's at a new location, 2nd floor of  Victory Pointe Arcade and Cafe ! We'll be meeting 2-5pm, this Sunday, January 15th. Oh hey, also, there's a facebook group now. The most common question I get when telling people about BiPGH  is: But, would I be included in a space for Bisexuals? Yes all non-monosexuals! Here's what's going on in the Bi community when it comes to defining bisexuality: Prominent Bi-Activist  Robyn Ochs  head of BRC and leader at BiNet Defines bisexual as: "The potential to be attracted – romantically and/or sexually – to people of more than one sex and/or gender, not necessarily at the same time, not necessarily in the same way, and not necessarily to the same degree.” Others have defined Bisexual as: "Attraction to genders the same as my own and different than my own." Though this definition may not be as easy to identify with for everyone, as we perhaps may not be attracted to
