For Immediate Release:
OUR MAJOR GLBT COMMUNITY
BUILDING & OUTREACH PLAN!

(LA, CA USA) September 28, 2005 - Today the Bi MEN NETWORK announced its most ambitious community outreach and GLBT community building program across North America with bi & gay men's events - 10 "Coming Out" Wednesdays and 10 "QUEST" Sundays this Fall at 80 bi-friendly watering holes - GLBT bars, cafes, clubs, pubs and taverns - in 80 major North American cities.

Nominations were accepted from the Bi MEN membership and GLBT community leaders as well as from past and present customers and employees and suppliers of all nominated host venues. All 80 selected host venues are believed to be bi-friendly and to have loyal GLBT community followings and are noted for their care and concern for bi and gay men "coming out" at all stages of adult life. All venues have a long history of support with regard to GLBT community-wide matters and concerns. .

COMING OUT WEDNESDAYS is an outreach program from the Bi MEN and Bi & GAY MEN - for bi and gay men who are just "coming out" as bi and gay men - or just straight guys who are exploring their sexuality or who are just a tad bi-curious. These are set for 5 to 7 pm on Wednesdays - October 12th, 19th and 26th - then every November Wednesday and then December 7th and 14th (with a break for the holidays - start back up again in January after New Year's). The selected venues do nothing special other than be open and ask the staff to be as warm and friendly for all newcomers as possible.

QUEST SUNDAYS is the "Looking for Mr. ____" Program for our bi and gay men who are looking for this or that. We now just call it the QUEST so that it is wider and will include whatever someone may be looking for - a four leaf clover, love, or lust or ????????? This is set for Sundays 5 to 7 pm as well. October 16th, 23rd and 30th - all November Sundays - and then in December the 4th, 11th and 18th. Again - a break for the holidays - with startup for the Winter in January 2006.

NOTE: Please view any club's website before you make a special trip there. A few of the above clubs are not open on Sundays and a few are not open early for Wednesday Happy Hours. In a few states as Alabama and Utah some clubs require men to be members or guests. It's best to call ahead to any club before you make a special trip over there with a quick local call just to assure they are open and check their open hours. The above clubs have been vetted by us. They are often not the only or "best" spot in town but are all good starting points in your journey. IF you have any unpleasant experiences or discern any of these clubs NOT to be bi-friendly as believed please inform the Bi Men Network

Stewart McCloud, Founder & President of the Bi Men Network said: "No major GLBT organization or association has to date successfully led any major community building effort to bring bisexuals on one side and gays, lesbians and transgendered on the other side together. While we are all four sexual minority groups - we are all quite significantly different. Bisexuals need to better understand our brothers and sisters and they need to do likewise Bridging these differences and finding common ground may need to come about on a more personal - micro - vs. macro level!" McCloud noted: "While bisexual men and women often do not - if ever - come out publicly - we do thrive in any environment where we do not have to live out "lives of quiet desperation" - eliminating our all too often needless fears, worries and anxieties that if our status as a sexual minority were known we would then be treated as outcasts and virtual pariahs". Concluding McCloud emphasized: "Bisexuals are very different and we would like the gay, lesbian and transgendered communities to come to better understand this and to accept us as we are!' McCloud concluded: "IF bisexuals could be more readily included in the GLBT community - their sheer size added to that of the "G", "L" and "T" existing sectors would be a major boost. The resulting SYNERGY - the synergistic effect - is that the end results and benefits to all of these four very different sectors would be so far greater than the sum of the individual parts."

The Bi Men Network is the world's largest social and support organization for bisexual men, bi-curious males, gay guys, and bi couples. With over 1/4 million adult members on all six continents the Bi Men Network is the major bisexual-focus association on earth today and one of the 10 largest GLBT organizations worldwide as well. The Bi Men Network website is in the top ten percent of popular websites on earth and the #1 bisexual website on earth. See
TOP Bi WEBSITES. This is the first major GLBT community building outreach program in many years if not to date which includes bisexuals. The Bi Men like to think of themselves as a major "B" in the GLBT equation globally. The Bi Men Network's motto is: "You are NOT alone!" - striving to ease the pain, loneliness and isolation felt and experienced by so many bi men worldwide.
