Bi Speakers Bureau: Why is bisexuality so misunderstood?
Wednesday October 25, 2006 from 7:00pm - 9:00pm
Barnard College
3009 Broadway
New York City, New York 10027 Get Directions
Why is bisexuality so misunderstood? This presentation will separate myths from realities and stereotypes from facts.

We will explore sexual & emotional attraction for people of more than one gender, differentiating sexual orientation, identity, behavior and fantasy and discussing monogamy vs polyamory, biphobia and pathways to bi identity (gay to bi, straight to bi, bi from childhood or adolescence).

Discussion will also explore the politics and practice of inclusion, how media coverage influences attitudes towards bisexual people and how we can have an impact. The bisexual world-view as an illuminating vision with potential to build bridges, blur boundaries and heal splits between heterosexual and homosexual, female and male, sexual and spiritual.

Presenters: Sheela Lambert, Vanessa Brown, Paul Nocera
Handouts provided.

This event is Free and Open To the Public

Directions: The main entrance to Barnard is on the West side of Broadway between 116th and 121st (it's basically where Broadway *would* intersect 117th, if the street extended that way). Once you're inside the gates, look for Altschul Hall,
