04 - 07
Bicon 2016

The highlight of the bisexual year! Seven reasons to come to BiCon BiCon is whatever you make it Some people wanted to stay up partying all night, others were there for discussions on political activism. Some wanted lots of sex and some were happy to have a good chat over a cup of tea and an early night. Some went to the bar in elaborate outfits; others turned up in jeans and T-shirts. Youll feel totally accepted My absolute favourite thing about BiCon has always been the totally accepting atmosphere. I felt so at home, safe and able to be myself, despite being surrounded by strangers. Youll meet awesome people I had piles of fun at BiCon thanks for all the company, hugs, great workshops, good conversations and general awesome company you provided. whove come from far and wide Too much that was lovely over the weekend to name it all, but I was particularly impressed with the attendance and number of countries everyone came from.
