BiPhoria

A social-support group for bisexual people over the age of 18 years which has met regularly since 1994.

Open to bi people and those questioning their sexuality who think they may be bi, and other multi-gender-attraction words like biromantic, pansexual, omnisexual or polysexual.

The group holds its main "talky space" meetings once a month on Zoom, which is the best meet for new people to come along to, and other social meet-ups regularly between including pub meets, cafe meets and a bisexual book group.

We also provide speakers for outside events and articles and also interviews about bisexuality for the media.
