LOS ANGELES, CA - Four Bi Men Weeks are set for Fall 2011 by the Bi Men Network.

The Central Arizona Bi MEN WEEK will be held from September 27 to October 1, 2011 and October 25 to 28, 2011.

Research has shown that as many as 15 per cent of the populaton may be bisexual. Other recent studies have shown that as many as 40 per cent of adult men have engaged in men having sex with other men with many not considering themselves either gay or bisexual. Bisexuals remain the least visible and least vocal of the sexual minorities today.
Even after over a dozen years on the scene, Mac McCloud, Founder and President of the Bi Men Network - www.bimen.org
The recent official Human Rights Commission Report out of San Francisco has highlighted the problems of the demonization of bisexuals by many in both the straight and gay worlds and the problems bisexuals suffer caused by their continuing relative invisibility in today's world.
The four Bi Men Weeks in Southern Calfornia and Central Arizona as now scheduled will focus exclusively on issues specific to bisexual and bi-curious adult men - gathering together at high quality hotel venues in Los Angeles and Central Orange County and in Phoenix, Scottsdale and Tempe in a safe and supportive environment to dialogue on their issues of concern, including their feelings of invisibility and social pressures to remain hidden away in the closet.
Attendees with find a supportive and nurturing environment where they can be themselves and experience real acceptance! These events will also include many opportunities for warm social interaction to help our men make new friends from their local home areas and from across the USA.
All our Bi Men Week events include Support Hours with Mac McCloud leading his Bi Men Seminar: "Be Bi, Be Happy!" with discussion groups. Then we host Social Hours - Happy Hours and lunch meets - where our men can mingle and meet other attendees in a quality hotel and safe environment.
We also host closed sessions for sexual workshops as well as our infamous Bi Bad Boys poker nights. See full schedule for each Bi Men Week at our Events pages.
Mac McCloud notes: "For many attendees, this is their very first opportunity to ever be in a very nice quality hotel with many other men similar to themselves and where their own bisexuality or bi-curiousity is both accepted and well understood! Year after year at our events the guys say that the camaraderie is the best thing!"
Early Registration is only $20 per event and ends 24 hours before each event by mail or online at: http://www.bimen.org/contributionpage.htm
