NYC Tri-State Area Bisexual+ SGL Queer & Questioning Meetup

SideBiSide is a friendly, warm and accepting Bisexual+ Discussion Group for all people under the Bi+ Umbrella, that provides a free, supportive, safe space for our community where you can be YOU.

Our goal is to support healing from biphobia and bisexual erasure and advocate for greater acceptance and empowerment as approximately HALF of LGBTQ+ people identify as bisexual.

This is a peer support group, not a professional-therapy group. The meetings are moderated. We discuss current events affecting the LGBTQ+ community, and then focus on a discussion topic generated with input from folks around the circle or by the moderator. We do also hold space for attendees who might need to deal with an issue in the moment.

We work hard to foster a space for non-judgmental peer support while actively valuing racial & gender diversity, sex-and body positivity.

❤️💜💙 Looking forward to seeing everyone online!!! ❤️💜💙

IN PERSON MEETING INFO
208 W 13th ST

Join BiRequest's Social and Discussion group for ALL who self identify as Bisexual+, Biromantic+, MSpec (Multi-gender Attraction Spectrum) and otherwise Queer-identified or Questioning regardless of Labels or the Lack of them ... for ALL folx of every Gender & Gender Presentation including but not limited to Cis, Genderfluid, Intersex, Nonbinary, Trans, and more at our regular Zoom-based Meetings held every 1st Monday and 4th Wednesday, from 6-8pm now on Zoom. In person meetings are every 3rd Thursday, from 6:30pm-8:00pm at the Manhattan Pride Center.

The meetings are Moderated and focused on a Discussion Topic that is generated with input from the folks around the circle (nb. we do also hold space for folks who might need to deal with an issue in the moment).

We work hard to foster a safe space for non-judgemental peer support while actively valuing racial and gender diversity, sex- and body-positivity, as well as the litany of intersecting identities that folks walk into the room embracing. We welcome spouses and allies to join us at our twice-monthly meetings to discuss a topic around issues related to our lived experiences as “the silenced majority” in the LGBTQ+ realm.

CW: Please note that BiRequest discussions can involve sensitive topics. For anyone who is triggered by anything in the discussion or needs to discuss a personal matter, multiple BiRequest facilitators will be available at the meetings. Please talk to one of us.

We're all folx who've been there. We know what it's like to be ostracized, set aside and erased as bisexual people. We are folx who identify as pansexual, same-gender-loving people, sexually and affectionately fluid. We are the B in LGBT.

We are a multi-racial and many gendered and variously sex'd people. We are uniquely challenged and able in many different ways. We work towards the realization of our collective liberation.

This Bisexual+ Munch offers a stress-free opportunity for casual conversation and building Bi+ Community over a meal. As we get back to in-person events we are attempting to return to the tradition dinner following the regular Manhattan BiRequest Meetings. Big meals are not required.

Our Bi+ Munch is comprised of folks who attend Discussion Group as well as other folx from across the body positive, sex positive, and feminist/womanist communities.

As Bi+ People people, we self identify as Bisexual+, Biromantic+, MSpec (Multi-gender Attraction Spectrum) and otherwise Queer-identified or Questioning regardless of Labels or the Lack of them ... and as folx of every Gender & Gender Presentation including but not limited to Cis, Genderfluid, Intersex, Nonbinary, Trans, and more ... We're open-hearted, fluid feeling, "both/and" oriented folk; embracing the diversity of our community.
