This workshop will provide the opportunity for participants to learn about bisexuality and bisexual issues. Together we will explore myths and stereotypes about bisexuality, useful definitions, the unique experiences and challenges of being bisexual, biphobia, different models of sexual identity and identity development, and the wonderful diversity of bisexual lives and experiences. The workshop will combine information sharing with interactive exercises and discussion in order to promote different kinds of learning.

This workshop is open to people of any and all sexual identities who want to learn more about bisexuality.

About the facilitator: Cheryl Dobinson is a bisexual writer, researcher, and advocate. She has an MA in Sociology from York University. Her studies focused on women's sexuality and queer youth. She has been publishing the bi women's zine "The Fence" since 2002. Cheryl is very involved in Toronto's bisexual community, and wants to start wearing a t-shirt that says "This is what a bisexual feminist looks like" so people will stop assuming she's straight just because her partner happens to be a man.
