David Lourea

Lourea and Rubenstein, along with other community activists, worked together to establish the San Francisco Bisexual Center, which opened to the public on September 23, 1976.

[7] The Bi Center was heavily aligned with the sexual freedom movement, and offered a policy of inclusion, creating a space that was feminist, anti-classist, anti-racist, and trans-friendly.

[3] In 1983, Lourea, Rockway, Ka'ahumanu, Rubenstein, Bill Mack, Autumn Courtney, and Arlene Krantz founded BiPOL, a LGBTQ feminist political action group.

[6] Lourea studied at the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality, and began working professionally with AIDS and HIV patients to collect and publish information on the disease and its prevention, including as the founder executive director of the support group, Bisexual Counseling Services of San Francisco.

[1] Author and organizer Naomi Tucker dedicated her book, Bisexual Politics: Theories, Queries, and Visions, to Lourea and his ability to inspire revolution.

[3] Lourea's archival papers are held at the James C. Hormel LGBTQIA Center in the San Francisco Public Library.
