BiNet USA has some excellent advice for how we LGBTQIA folk can have
happy holidays. You can find it at:

http://www.binetusa.org

Particularly in the wake of Maine, it is important for us to support
each other. They have a page on supporting the bi community with your
holiday shopping at:

http://www.binetusa.org/Pages/BiShopping.html

'Bi the Way" is finally available on DVD!!! And the producers have kindly offered to donate 10% of the profits from each DVD they sell to BiNET USA.  Shopping at BiNET USA's online store at the right side of the page also helps to support BiNET.

Under that, shopping at the new Bi Resource Center catalogue helps to support the Bisexual Resource Center.

At the bottom left of the page, if you "Click here" to buy more books from the Bi Writers bookstore, your purchase helps to support the Bi Writers Association. 

Your purchase of the "Bi the People" CD helps to support the American Institute of Bisexuality.

Please pass this on :)

Fred Phelps' clan is coming to Boston to spread their anti-gay, anti-Semitic message at schools and temples across the city.

You can help turn their awful message into positive change!

The "God Hates Fags" Westboro Baptist Church is planning at least four pickets on Tuesday, December 1st. They will protest the World AIDS Day conference at the University of Massachusetts, then taunt the students at Brookline High School, next they will head over to the Hillel House at Boston University, and then to Temple Israel to attack openly-gay, Jewish, Congressman Barney Frank.

However, when the Phelps group comes to Boston to protest LGBT equality and spread their anti-Semitic message, they will actually be raising money to promote LGBT equality, raise AIDS awareness, and fund Jewish community centers.





We are hosting a Phelps-A-Thon to counter Fred Phelps' hateful message.  For every minute the "God Hates Fags" clan is protesting, we will be collecting donations for each of the organizations the clan is protesting against! (Pledge Online)

Visit Phelps-A-Thon.com to chose the location you'd like to support. You can pledge any amount you chose, whether it be $0.25, $0.50, $1, or even $2 for every minute they protest. You can even pledge a flat rate for the entire time the group will be demonstrating. (Pledge Online)

The point of this Phelps-A-Thon is two fold.  First, we are using Phelps' own hateful message to raise funds for a good cause, one that will help counter the lies that are being spread by WBC.  Second, after the event, we will send Phelps a thank you card, telling him how much money he raised. This will certainly upset the group and it is possible that they will stop protesting in order to stop our fundraising.



During a three month trek across the United States in an effort to promote LGBT equality, Chris Mason, Founder of Phelps-A-Thon.com, stopped in Topeka, Kansas to visit the Westboro Baptist Church.  He sat down for a conversation with Shirley Phelps, the daughter of Fred Phelps and new leader of the group to get a better understanding of why the groups feels the need to spread hate.

interview


On the "God Hates Fags" website, Phelps has this to say about the upcoming protest at one of the schools:

"University of Massachusetts - Thank God For AIDS, stupid! 100 William T Morrissey Blvd That is what WBC has been saying since back in the day when AIDs was the event d'jure. Now we say, that is sooooo last century. How's that defying AIDs going for you hypocrites? You whose parents told us in Washington D.C. "you say don't f***, we say F*** YOU!" That's right, now you have put your friends children on the job, huh? Lot's of luck. Deuteronomy 28:27 The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed. God warned you through his prophet, Moses of this day. You did not heed, so you get the curse. Tah dah! That is how Our God rolls, and he is YOUR GOD! Praise Him! AMEN!"


We can turn these hateful words into positive change.

Hi Cool bi-folk and bi-folk supporters,

Just wanted to let those who don't know about it (and a nudge to those who do) to check out and support the very first bisexual themed web series (or any series for that matter) "Rose By Any Other Name..."  about a lesbian who falls in love with a man and must deal with the fallout (spoiler alert: turns out, she's bi after all!)   
Initially LOGO was interested in having it be a weekly series but at the 11th hour they got cold feet and back out, worried that the show would "offend their lesbian viewers". They did not seem to understand how many bisexual viewers they stood to attract. They said they really loved the concept and that they'd love to reassess the show if we went and shot a couple of episodes, to see if the lesbian characters are dealt with respectfully. 

So we decided to turn the show into a web series (what with bisexual community being so web-savvy), and with help from AIB the first episode debuted  October 11 (National Coming Out Month). . If we can show LOGO (and even a few other bigger networks) that the show is drawing a large web audience they will have to consider putting the show on the air. I of course do not need to illustrate how HUGE having a show deal openly and honestly with bisexuality would be. So please, become a fan of the show on Facebook and do whatever you feel you can to get the word out. Early buzz is key.  

Here is the link to the first episode:

Each Sunday a new episode will come out.  Please feel free to spread the word, rate the clip and make a comment (all these things LOGO will be looking at).

Thank you all for your support of not only FenceSitter Films but for all things bi!
Yours,

Kyle Schickner

Come celebrate Bisexuality Day at The LOFT with a Meet and Greet, followed
by the viewing of the recently released "Steam," a movie that is charming,
heart-wrenching and heart-warming all at the same time. You'll learn about
different cultures, different religious beliefs, different ethnic practices
and different sexualities.

Kyle Schickner, who wrote and directed "Steam," is also out as bisexual.
He's been married, and he's been an activist, and he's done movies that have
bi themes in them. "Steam" has a bit of a bi theme too, and it got him in a
lot of hot water with some of the PC police.

So, come and join us on Bisexuality Day!!!!

Tuesday, 9/22/09 at 7:30 PM

(okay, Celebrate Bisexuality Day is actually the 23rd, but that is the night the Bi Group
usually meets)
