Our Reason For Being
Bi Community & Culture!
Bconnected Mission Statement
We are a collaborative social club for Bisexual/Queer people dedicated to building a fun, welcoming and educational community for our members. We are creating a consistent, sustainable, and inclusive culture for the variety of intersecting bisexual identities in order to help bring all bisexuals out of isolation.
In short, Bconnected is about building Bi/Queer community and culture.
Our Vision
All Bs all day!
We want a world where there are no longer closeted Bisexuals/Queers.
Bi culture
In addition to building an in-person community, we are also creating Bi culture—rich with traditions, art, customs, spiritual connection (if that’s your thing), and shared knowledge. Yes, we drink beer—but we also hike, make art, host skillshares, and meditate!
Bconneceted is a soft landing place for the Bs.
We want to create a welcoming, comfortable, and inspiring environment for the 70% of closeted Bisexuals to come out to.
Coming out is often all the feels at once—exciting, rewarding, exhilarating, overwhelming, and disorientating. Going to a nightclub or dating apps is fun, but it can also feel ungrounded and unfulfilling. Bconnected is a place to be in a Bi/Queer space and evolve at your own pace surrounded by others doing the same.
Being Bi is a chill thing.
When Bi people and Bi culture are more visible, accepted, and celebrated, we will have a world where when you say, “I’m Bisexual,” at work, to your partner and family, within your friend groups, or anywhere else, this will be met with a neutral or positive response versus suspicion and discomfort. Sounds nice, right?!
The Bconnected Manifesto
Our bisexual manifesto! We are each an important building block in our community of unique and different Bi/Queer people. Our community is something we strive to build by spending time together and forming lasting connections. Showing up and being part of the group matters because community is critical to our personal and collective growth, security, and societal advancement.
We are devoted to personal choice and autonomy over ourselves and our relationships. We exercise this freedom by forming relationships with those we feel a connection to, whether that connection be platonic, emotional, romantic, sexual, or a combination thereof. We do this in a loving, open, and honest way. We also accept and recognize the fluid nature of our humanity and understand that romantic orientation, sexual orientation, and gender identity can shift and change over a lifetime.
We are committed to honesty, individual truth, and integrity in our relationships.
In response to hostile individuals or institutions that may not support equal rights and fair treatment for the LGBTQIA+ community, we react by continuing to show up and building our community up to be even stronger.
If we have the privilege to come out, we bravely live a non-traditional life even when we don’t always know how to navigate our way. We do this so that we can help bring awareness and acceptance to other people who want to exercise this same freedom of choice and autonomy that we do. We also openly express our values and relationships in order to change the social narrative around human nature, love and commitment, and relationship structure.
We invite the people who are in relationships with us, who may not identify as Bi or Queer, to stay in loving connection to us while also respecting our autonomy as well as their own.
