Who We Are
After the Stonewall rebellion in 1969, as the Bisexual Community in the Tri-State area of New York City, New Jersey & Connecticut grew larger, more active, more diverse and organized, a need was seen to have a more formal methodology to keep everyone informed on all the various facets of the community.
Taking as it's model the highly successful East Cost Bisexual Network (ECBN) headquartered in Boston, in 1987 under the guidance of the American national group BiNet USA the "New York Area Bisexual Network (NYABN) is formed.
The New York Area Bisexual Network serves as a central communications network for Bisexual & Bi-Friendly Groups and Resources in all five borough's of NYC and the surrounding Tri-state area.
The mission of the New York Area Bisexual Network is to facilitate the development of a cohesive bisexual community in the New York Area.
Which in turn will promote bisexual visibility, protect the bisexual community from discrimination and bi-phobia and assist and empower our individual community members and their families to live full, rich, safe and happy lives.
In addition to it's website, MySpace page & associated Blogs the NYABN also keeps up with listings for the Tri-State Region as well as providing links to Regional, National and International Groups and Events, [& as we move into outer space we will no doubt provide links to those groups too].
Additionally NYABN coordinates the NYC Bisexual-Information Phone-Line, keeps up the NYC Bisexual Community PO Box, hosts various groups, meetings and events of interest to the entire bisexual community, helps new groups form and coordinates arrangements for the Bisexual Contingent(s) at NYC's annual LGBT PrideFest and Parade each June.
