i was looking for a day to come out to my first person. if i chicken out on the 23rd, there's always october 11th, national coming out day.

[shameless agitator]

Didn't know Celebrate Bisexuality Day existed. Isn't that sad? Maybe I'll pick up a guy and a girl, have some fun. Seriously, I'll have to look around & see if there are any events scheduled.

[charmed_goddess87]

wow! didnt know we had our own day.

[glantern954]

It seems pretty low-key this year, I have yet to see anything advertised.

[Herbwoman39]

I'd go to an event if there was something in my area. Wish we had parades and stuff. That would be so much fun!

[Reeve]

I'm trying to get people I know in my area together and throw a party for it, but I'm not sure if it's gonna work yet.

[Not2str8]

Is it on a Monday and do we get the day off ? :)

Although the actual Celebrate Bisexuality Day is happening September 23rd, it was decided to hold this year's event the weekend before so that there were no conflicts with Yom Kippur.
---------
Boston's event has details at www.biresource.org.
---------
Glasgow, Scotland has an event with details as follows:

Sunday 23rd September is International Celebrate Bisexuality Day, and all over the world bisexual people and their friends will be hosting events to mark the occasion. This year, BiScotland will be celebrating in style at the MED Café in Glasgow’s recently-opened LGBT Centre on Bell Street.

The café will be open throughout the afternoon and evening of 23rd, serving food and drinks, including special bi-pride coloured cocktails. There will be a chance to find out about BiScotland and other LGBT groups in the area, as well as music, laughter and some surprises.

Why celebrate something that's totally natural?

I'm honestly really not that into bisexual groups since they're really cliquey, way too political, a bit of a meat market (I've been approached by people who seemed way too desperate for sex and I just went there to meet people/make friends, and if you want sex that bad just go online or *gasp* actually go out to a bar/club and meet people instead of picking people up at discussion groups.), WAY too PC, and lots of people sitting around being overly sensitive and feeling sorry for themselves (yeah I can get kinda dour/pessimistic myself; but I don't want to join a group that's full of people who bring you down).

I really don't know what I'll be doing on the 23rd as I generally don't plan things ahead.

[jedinudist]

Cool...

We have our own day :)

Dunno what I'll do. Hmmm...

Have a glass of wine with my wife most likely :D

She has celebrated my orientation more than I have.

[glantern954]

I am glad I didn't have your experience with bi groups. I have had lots of great experiences with them. I have seen more people looking for a chance to talk about their experiences and feelings than cliques and trollers.

yeah it was not fun.

As much as I don't like internet interaction with people I've found that in some ways it can be a lot better than face to face interaction at least with that group.

A friend of mine also went to bi groups in NYC in the mid/late 90s just to meet people and he too reported that they were like the one in my area.

it was more the annoying huge text in your post.

the hedonism/desperation was a factor too.

don't flatter yourself.

I'm not that desperate for sex, as I can get it very easily if I really want it, and you're not my type.

[LWynn4]

chhh tease;)

listen if my post offended you for whatever reason I apologize this goes for everybody, just trying to celebrate, yeah?

I just don't like huge text in posts since it's like someone typing in all caps in a chat room or on IM, that's all.

both u and skater have made meeting a bi group in person so unappealing. dunno if i'll go thru with it, but i hope it's not all bad if i do.

it's different for everyone.

you might find a group in your area and really like it!

When I lived in a completely rural area and nowhere near a city at all I joined a group of predominantly gay men and partied/hung out with them and made lots of friends this way.

I had hopes for something like this with the bi group I went to but I just had too high expectations.

The groups my friends and I went to were like how I described and poorly organized, very cliquey, a meat market, not too social and more political, and it was hard to meet people who you felt like you actually had something in common with besides your sexuality.

I'm at a point in my life where I'm not into hooking up with people who I don't know, I don't want to sit around mulling and feeling bad for myself/others since monosexuals don't get us, I'm not into being really PC, and I'm not into sexual politics/label obsession.

Also for me it doesn't matter if someone is bisexual or not as I have all types of friends.
