Gathering of the Bi Clan: Bisexual, Pansexual, Fluid Institue at Creating Change

Yet despite CC’s (Creating Change) nearly 30 years of existence as a Brigadoon of queer leadership togetherness and training, this will be only the third consecutive time the gathering has hosted a bi “institute” — a one-day pre-CC conclave, and it’s one of the few times the CC has had several bi-identified workshops at the same location.

Why is that? Why is it that even after more than 40 years since the modern gay movement exploded into being during the Stonewall Riots, it’s only now that bi people are beginning to be more visible at CC, let alone the rest of (American) society?
