Today's date:
We had a great 2008 filled with PRIDE events all around the state! We hosted a booth at Duluth, Fargo/Moorhead, Mankato, Minneapolis, and Rochester PRIDE celebrations. Booth space, travel expenses, and stocking items to sell all cost money. Prep and attendance at these events alone costs around $1300. We need your help to enable us to continue our outreach efforts in 2009. Please consider making a donation to our group to support us in an event-filled 2009.

The Bisexual Organizing Project (BOP) is a non-profit, non-sexual, social & service organization dedicated to serving the needs of the Twin Cities bisexual community and providing resources and information to the community at large. BOP is currently one of the few organizations specifically targeting the bisexual community as a whole. That said, it should be noted that BOP is not just for people who identify as bisexual. BOP is home to a wide variety of people whose emotional or sexual attraction is not limited to one gender or is not dependent on gender at all. Basically, anyone who doesn't fit neatly into the definitions of lesbian, straight, or gay, as well as those who are in the process of exploring their sexuality. Friends, loved ones, and allies are also welcome, regardless of how they identify, as long as they are willing to be respectful of others in the group. BOP has sponsored the BECAUSE Bisexual Empowerment Conference, hosts a booth at the Duluth, Fargo/Moorhead, Mankato, Minneapolis, and Rochester PRIDE celebrations, and is part of the Twin Cities PRIDE Picnic in Saint Paul. In addition, it also hosts monthly events such as Bi's Eat Out (a pay-as-you-go social outing), Bi's Eat In Brunch (an informal forum and potluck), and Chic Chat. Keep your eye out for updates on BECAUSE 2010 at www.becauseconference.org. Get involved and plan to join us next year! We need volunteers! |
