Vision |
The Bisexual Resource Center envisions a world where love and sexual expression is celebrated, regardless of sexual orientation or gender expression or identity.
Mission |
The BRC is committed to providing support to the bisexual community
and raising public awareness about bisexuality and bisexual people in order to eradicate misunderstanding,
marginalization and discrimination against bisexuals.
Inclusivity: The BRC uses bisexual as an umbrella term for people who recognize and honor
their capacity for sexual, romantic and/or emotional attraction to more than one gender (pansexual, fluid, omnisexual,
queer, and all other free-identifiers). We celebrate and affirm the diversity of identity and expression
regardless of labels.
History |
Originally started in 1985 as the East Coast Bisexual Network, the organization incorporated in 1989 as a 501(c)3 nonprofit and changed its name to the
Bisexual Resource Center in the mid-nineties. Since its inception, the Bisexual Resource Center has been creating resources, providing support, and helping to create a stronger sense of community for bi/pan/fluid
people across the U.S. and beyond. As one of its first actions, the BRC published the Bisexual Resource Guide from 1990 through 2002 and helped to connect
organizations and individuals around the world from Argentina to Zambia.
As the oldest nationally-focused bisexual organization in the U.S., the BRC continues to raise
awareness and build bridges within the LGBT and ally communities, and fosters bi-supportive social and political space wherever it can.
