BECAUSE (conference)

The conference is "dedicated to building an empowered bisexual, pansexual, fluid, queer, and unlabeled (bi+) community.

[3][4][5][6] In 1991, the Gay and Lesbian Community Action Council (GLCAC) published a needs assessment for bisexuality in the Twin Cities.

The speakers included Lani Ka'ahumanu, co-editor of Bi Any Other Name: Bisexual People Speak Out.

As a result, he declared June 6-8, 2014, Bisexual Empowerment Days in the State of Minnesota.

Its mission is to "Build, serve and advocate for an empowered bisexual, pansexual, fluid, queer, and unlabeled (bi+) community to promote social justice.

It opened a bisexual community center in South Minneapolis Pride in 2002 (which has since closed).

[21] The Bisexual Community Needs Assessment 2012 was published by BOP partnering with OutFront Minnesota, the PFund Foundation, and the Gender and Sexuality Student Services Office (GSSSO) at the Metropolitan State University.

"[22] In June 2013, BOP and the American Institute of Bisexuality funded the first BiReConUSA, modeled on BiReCon (UK).
