Ayooo! Yes you heard that right... our next meeting is the afternoon of Easter Sunday itself! Need a break from family, or just need some self-made family time?  Join us!  The only requirement is no biphobia!  We aim to be a space free from bi-erasure and bi-stigma, as well as a place to unlearn internalized biphobia, and find the support of a bisexual community. We meet 3rd Sundays, and we're at Victory Pointe Arcade !  (2nd Floor, reserved room, and we get a few of their delicious sides to share around.) Here's the event link!   You can RSVP on facebook, or just jot the date down if you're not ready to be out. Can't make it in person?  Try chatting with... The Group! We have a facebook group that's currently at 87 members!  Eighty-seven, folks!  And it's only even existed since December... keep it growing folks!  The group is really active with chat topics and community feedback.  It's a really wonderful resource, new as it is, it's pretty gr
