Bi-NSW

An organization which provides an opportunity for bisexual and bisexual friendly people to meet together in welcoming, comfortable, safe, and friendly spaces. One of the aspects of our group that we pride ourselves upon is that we don't discriminate against anyone for whatever reason. The founding group of our community is the Sydney Bisexual Network (SBN) who mainly get together for both socialising and fun times but also meet for serious discussions. We'd like to think everybody can get something out of SBN: new friends, worthwhile information, or bi pride. SBN is not a counselling service (though we'll always have sympathetic ears) and we are also not a "pick-up club" or swingers group. People meet friends and even lovers at SBN, but we aim for a harassment-free social space where we can relate to each other, educate each other, and have fun. Bi-NSW Inc. acts as the focal point for all Bi groups in the Sydney region. So if you need information about any Bi group or activity in Sydney we should be able to help you out.
