[CW:MONTHLY] Putting the "B" in LGBT Summit

Many people aren’t quite sure how the “B” fits into LGBT. As a result, the “B” often goes missing in press releases, articles and speeches about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights issues. This creates an incorrect public perception of bisexual people, incomplete reporting on LGBT issues and lessens support in the bi community for LGBT rights organizations, publications and politicians who ignore the “B” in LGBT.

We invite everyone who writes about LGBT rights issues: LGBT activists, journalists (LGBT & straight), bloggers and political office staff to join together to brainstorm about how this can be remedied. We also welcome anyone who would like to learn more about the myths and realities of bisexuality. Meet bi speakers who are married to a same-sex partner, have suffered military discrimination and job discrimination.
