We are building an online set of bi resources here. Feel free to suggest extras!
Getting Bi in a Gay / Straight World
[new in 2011] An excellent guide to coming out and staying out by Manchester bisexual group BiPhoria. This is available online as a flickr stream or you can get it as a glossy pocket-sized booklet from BiPhoria.
Teeshirt Archive
A selection of bisexual teeshirt designs and slogans over the years. These images were hosted on a fotopic site, which has now closed. We hope they’ll be migrated to something like Flickr soon!
Both Directions
Bisexuality – coming out and staying out. This is a 20 page booklet published by BCN and produced by the UK Bi Activist Network. In the first year it was available online we’re delighted that over 3,700 copies were downloaded. The new 2011 edition has a few little tweaks to the layout and wording.
Download it today. As an Adobe Acrobat pdf document or a web page. Prints out as an A4-folded-to-A5 booklet – good if you need a handout about bisexuality in the UK for an event and have access to a printer/photocopier!
Bi Research
The bi research group, UKbi, formerly known as BiBlio, published a report looking at who comes to BiCon based on the survey distributed at the Manchester one in 2004.
Download the report as a pdf here.
Similar reports are expected on the BiCons in 2005, and each year since. The initial 2008 survey report appeared in BCN issue 97.
A to Z of running a bi group
“A shame there isn’t an A to Z of how to run a group” someone said on the uk-bi email list many moons ago. Nothing like a challenge, is there? Within a day, there was one.
Lobby Stonewall
In 2007, Bisexual Action had had enough of moaning about Stonewall – Britain’s biggest LGB lobbying organisation – publishing reports and recommendations that seek only to change things for lesbians and gay men. As Stonewall believe the way to change minds is through sending postcards, they produced a postcard to lobby Stonewall to be more bi-inclusive.
It’s now a little out of date but kept here as an archive item. Download a copy.
Further Bi Resources
There are also a variety of handy resources we’d recommend on two other bi websites:
