Bis of Colour is a National UK project

June 30, 2012Uncategorizednational, work with uswritteninshadows

We’ve already organised meets/given presentations/run workshops in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leicester, Worcester and London.

We’re a very small project but if you can fund our travel/accommodation/time, we’re very happy to speak at organised events all over the country.

We’re also very happy to support people to set up their own local Bis of Colour groups across the country/speak to Bis of Colour activists/people from further afield.

The first regular meet-ups we organise will be in London as both of the co-founders of the project live in the South East of England, but Bis of Colour already does and plans to continue doing national work.

So get in touch at bis.of.colour@gmail.com to invite/talk with us.

The Tumblr space for the UK Bi’s of Colour group.

Bi’s of Colour:

Bi:

Bi(sexual), not straight or gay, queer, pansexual, bicurious, unsure people all welcome

Attracted to more than one gender? Attracted to men and women? Welcome.

We aren’t interested in whether you are ‘gay enough’ or ‘queer enough’ or ‘too straight’ or how many relationships you’ve had/who with.

Of Colour:
Those who are descended (through one or both parents) from anywhere in Africa, Asia and Latin America, the original inhabitants of Australasia, North America, and the islands of the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans.

We explicitly welcome and invite mixed race people.

We’re not interested in whether you are ‘black enough’, lots of us aren’t.

We welcome anyone who defines/sees themself anywhere in *both* of these groups.

This is the tumblr/one of the online spaces for the new UK Bis of Colour group. Questions and queries in comments or to bis.of.colour@gmail.com

Welcome!
