Bi+ Community Activities

This Meetup group, created by the Bisexual Resource Center (BRC), intends to providing a safe and supportive in-person and virtual organizing space for bi+-identified people (anyone who is attracted, sexually and/or romantically to more than one gender), those questioning, and caring allies. Here you'll find a variety of events, hosted by either the BRC or affiliated organizations.

Community Guidelines
Being a queer person is hard! Finding community should make it a little easier. These guidelines help us care for one another and the people who make these gatherings possible. They apply to everyone, including hosts and organizers, at our events and in related online conversations and messages.

1. Come for community. This group is a place to make platonic connections with other people in the bi+ community. Relationships may develop organically, and we may occasionally host events explicitly focused on dating, but participation is not an invitation for romantic or sexual attention. Please help us keep this a space where people can connect without that pressure.
2. Let people "B" who they are. There is no one way to be bi+, and no one needs to prove they belong. Respect people’s names and pronouns, and let them describe their own identities and experiences. We do not tolerate harassment or discrimination, including racism, biphobia, transphobia, sexism, ableism, or religious prejudice. Anyone who violates this will be removed from the group.
3. Be willing to listen. We all make mistakes, and disagreements happen. If someone raises a concern about your behavior, listen respectfully and be willing to change it. You do not have to agree about everything, but you do need to respect boundaries and stop when asked. Hostility, repeated disruption, or ignoring requests to stop can lead to removal.
4. Follow the host’s instructions and honor your RSVP. Read each event’s details and follow its registration requirements. If registration is required, attend only once your place is confirmed. Being on a waitlist does not guarantee a spot. If a host has declined or canceled your registration, please respect that decision; signing up elsewhere or arriving with a friend does not override it. Accurate RSVPs help hosts plan and make room for others. If your plans change, update your RSVP and let the host know. Missing two in-person events without notifying the host at least two hours beforehand will result in removal from the group. We know emergencies happen; if something unexpected prevents you from giving notice, please reach out when you can.
5. Help us care for the space & each other. If you experience or witness concerning behavior, contact the event host or email brc[@]biresource[dot]org. You do not need to confront someone yourself, and you can contact the BRC directly if your concern involves a host. Retaliation against someone for raising a concern is not acceptable. Hosts may step in or ask someone to leave when these guidelines are not followed. The BRC may also suspend or remove members from this Meetup group. We aim to leave room for learning and repair, but serious or repeated violations may result in removal without a warning. Our volunteers deserve care, too, and are not expected to manage ongoing hostility.
