Visibly Bisexual (in the village)

 

Our bi banner is back up on Canal Street - despite the city council nearly foiling our plans! 

 We've had it up most years since 2017 (there was a Covid hiatus!) and in the past it was on Sackville Gardens, where the Alan Turing statue is, looking out across to the middle of Canal Street. 

This year the council won't let us do that sort of thing any more but Kampus have kindly let us use their fence instead, facing out to the Piccadilly train station end of Canal Street. Cheers Kampus! And Manchester Pride ran an interview with us here.

You Showed, You Told!

 

Show & Tell Bi History was a massive success, thank you everyone who came along today!

The library had set us aside a space that could take eight people so ten of us had to bunch up to fit in for two and a half hours of going through the city's LGBT records and finding some of the "B" in Manchester's LGBT story.

It seems pretty certain we will be doing that one again. Big thanks to Manchester Central Library's archives unit for hosting us and sharing some of their treasures.

Manchester Pride 2023

 

We had a great start to our Manchester Pride weekend with the parade day - huge response to us from the crowd and especially to the new BI & PROUD placards we had for the parade.

Did you see us and take a photo we could use? Do let us have it!

Thanks to all our marching group and everyone who cheered and waved us on.

Pan Visibility

 

Today (24 May) is Pan Visibility Day, when we celebrate one of the labels under the big bi umbrella: pansexuality and panromanticism. 

That's attraction - sexual or romantic - to people of all genders, and with gender not being a factor in the attraction. See the facebook event here.
