Stories and conversations from us, from our community, from those who led us here, and from those who lead us into the future.
Everybody’s story is important. Our lives are our stories, each one built from events both mundane and exciting. Any given community is comprised of a plethora of stories. Our community is diverse and colorful, an amazing spectrum of people whose experiences are like anybody else’s, yet unique in no other way.
Our Stories wishes to capture your stories, to collect them. We want to record the experiences, tragedies, triumphs, lessons, and failures. As every life is important, so are our stories. Bisexual (of any spectrum), Pansexual, Transgender, Women, Men, Gender(of any spectrum), people of color, young, old; there are no exclusions. We all have something to say.
What are we looking for exactly? Both unique and mundane experiences that had an effect on you, as a person. It could be about what it means to be who you are, when you came out (either to yourself, or to others), times of support from unexpected directions, times of disappointment, failures, triumphs, views from our youth, lessons from our elders, challenges of race, diversity of gender, what it means to be a part of our community, and what it means to be excluded from community. These moments are important and need preserved, even if most of the time we don’t realize it. There are so much of our day to day events that others can be touched by.
Make us laugh, make us cry, make us think, and remind us that as diverse as we all are, we are more similar than we realize.
Format. We would love to hear your stories in your own words. Record your voice on your computer or phone and send it to us, so we can post it. Any voice recorder app will do. It doesn't have to be fancy, just honest.
Email us at ourstoriesbiplus@gmail.com. Please advise if you’d like your name posted or wish to remain anonymous. We value the comfort and safety of everyone.
