QueerAmore Online (First Thursday)
·OnlineOnlineQueerAmore aims to create a comfortable space to gather and talk about issues related to being bisexual, pansexual, bi-curious and questioning. QueerAmore takes a fresh look at the challenges, rewards and temptations of exploring and enjoying your sexuality.

So even if you know who you are, or just figuring out yourself, come chat about it with us.
