            Bisexual Resource List

| This compilation of resources useful to Bisexuals is posted monthly
| to newsgroups soc.bi, soc.motss, and news.answers, and to mailing
lists biact-l, bisexu-l, and bifem-l.

Additions and changes since the last-published version are marked with
a bar (|) in the left column.  Deletions (which will not appear in the
next version) are marked with a less-than (<) in the left column.

Please send dates of Pride Day (or nearest approximation) for all
locations you know about.

If you or anyone you know makes a media appearance of any sort
| (newspaper, magagazine, radio, television, etc.) as a
bisexual-identified person, please be sure to send a copy to the
| Bisexual Archives, c/o the East Coast Bisexual Network, Inc. (ECBN).

Please help eradicate US-centrism in this resource list.  Please point
out listings which leave out the country, or otherwise assume that the
world revolves around the US.  For a description of some geographic
entities which are sometimes confused, send mail to [e-mail].

In price listings, "waged" means that you have a job; "unwaged" or
"concessions" means that you're unemployed, at school or university,
retired, etc.

| All posts to news.answers are archived, and it is possible to retrieve
| the last posted copy via anonymous FTP from pit-manager.mit.edu in
| /pub/usenet/news.answers/bisexual-resources.  Those without FTP access
| may send e-mail to [e-mail] with "send
| usenet/news.answers/finding-sources" in the body to find out how to
| get files from pit-manager by e-mail.

| Please send additions and corrections and suggestions to Alan Hamilton
| at [e-mail] or c/o ECBN, 95 Berkeley Street #613, Boston,
| Massachusetts 02116, USA, including requests to have your email
| address listed in the BISEXUAL ACTIVISTS EMAIL ADDRESSES section.  You
| may order a hard copy from for US$5.00 from ECBN.
