2020 Bi/Pansexuality 101

A bisexual person is someone who can be attracted to people of more than one gender, but not always at the same time or with the same intensity (Robyn Ochs). It usually includes people who identify as pansexual, queer, or fluid. Most studies suggest that about 50% of all LGB identify as bisexual, making it the largest group within the LGBTIA+ community. It also remains one of the most hidden within churches. Additionally, bisexual people can encounter anti-bi views in either straight or gay people. How can your church serve this large group and what practices are the most affirming to bisexual people? Come join Coalition Program Minister Kimi Floyd Reisch in a discussion of what it means to be bisexual.

The ONA Coalition’s webinar series is designed both for Open and Affirming congregations and for churches taking their first steps towards an ONA covenant. Individual registration at $25 is for one to three people. Church Group registration at $75 is for four or more people. There is no limit on the number of participants in a Church Group.

If you will be bringing additional people (up to 2 with individual or unlimited with group), you can either share the log in details and updates with them by forwarding all correspondence, or you can register them to receive email updates directly, using the GUEST ticket type. Any registrations for GUEST without a connected paid ticket, or direct permission of the Open and Affirming Coalition, will be deleted.

All webinars are on Tuesdays or Thursdays at 7 p.m. Eastern, 6 p.m. Central, 5 p.m. Mountain, 4 p.m. Pacific and 1 p.m. Hawai’ian, and run for about 90 minutes. The webinar includes time for questions and conversation. Contact Andy Lang at ed@openandaffirming.org or Kimi Floyd Reisch at ona@openandaffirming.org for more information.
