Bisexual meetings near me
The Gay Bi Dads collective aims to provide same-sex attracted and bisexual men, who may be married, or who are still not out with a secure and confidential space to meet with other men in similar situations. Our group provides support and advice on coming out; managing family life as a gay or multi-attracted man as well as providing an opportunity for you to talk openly and safely about existence either a gay or bisexual father.
We have around 20 members but attendance at the monthly meetings is usually around 6 people so it’s not a large group. Unused members can just perch and listen and don’t have to share until they feel comfortable. We have a strict confidentiality policy and we await all group members to adhere to this. We meet once a month. Meetings are either sustain group meetings where we meet in the centre and have a chat over pizza, workshop based meetings where we accept part in various workshops or they may be occasional social meetings where we go out for a light meal or coffee just to socialise.

I love coming to the group, the endorse is very valuable to me&
Mental health help if you're female homosexual, gay, bisexual or trans (LGBTQ+)
Mental health problems such as depression or self-harm can modify any of us, but they're more common among people who are sapphic, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBTQ+).
This may be linked to LGBTQ+ people's exposure of discrimination, homophobia or transphobia, bullying, social isolation, or rejection because of their sexuality.
Other things, such as their age, religion, where they live, and their ethnicity can combine extra complications to an already hard situation.
How talking therapy can help
It might not be easy, but getting help with issues you're struggling to deal with on your have is one of the most essential things you can do.
Talking with a therapist who's trained to work with LGBTQ+ people may help with issues such as:
- difficulty accepting your sexual orientation
- coping with other people's reactions to your sexuality
- feeling your body does not express your true gender (gender dysphoria)
- transitioning
- low self-esteem
- self-harm
- suicidal thoughts
- depression
- coping with bullying

BiCon is the UK's national Bisexual Con..
.. -vention or -ference!
BiCon is a weekend-long gathering for bi+ people, their friends, partners, and others with a supportive interest in bisexuality.
Who goes to BiCon?
A typical modern UK BiCon will have three to four hundred participants, of whom usually somewhere between a fifth and a third are at BiCon for the first period. Most people would fit the definition of creature bisexual, some don't. Even those who do don't all use the labels "bi" or "bisexual" or even agree on what it means to be bi.
Throughout the event's history there have been more women attendees than men. There are plenty of people who are gender non-conforming and/or are non-binary. Some are monogamous, some aren't. Some have children (and some bring them) and some don't. Some attendees have been going to BiCon for longer than some other adult attendees have been alive. Some come to help convert the world for bi+ people, others come to party or meet vintage new friends, and some come to execute all those. While most people are from the UK, some come from other parts of the world.
