Lars Christensen (38): I co-founded and coordinated the<br />

Copenhagen bi social group Bigruppen in 2004 and was bi<br />

politics spokesperson in LBL (now LGBT Denmark) for some<br />

years. I assume I was the first (in 2005) to fly the bi flag at<br />

Copenhagen Pride, and I wrote a small essay for the anthology<br />

Getting Bi: Voices of Bisexuals Around the World by Robyn<br />

Robyn Ochs - Challenging Biphobia and Bi Erasure<br />

This interactive program will provide participants with concrete information,<br />

smart framing, and specific action steps to challenge biphobia and bi-erasure.<br />

We will define our terms, provide specific examples of biphobia and<br />

bi-erasure, examine prevailing stereotypes about bi+ people and their origins.<br />

From an intersectional perspective, we will examine minority stress and<br />

explore its specific impact on bisexual people and we will explore strategies<br />

for reducing minority stress and creating a culture of understanding and<br />

inclusion.<br />

Robyn Ochs: Based in Boston (US), I am an<br />

educator, speaker, activist, and writer. I am<br />

the editor of the Bi Women Quarterly, and the<br />

42-country anthology, Getting Bi: Voices of<br />

Bisexuals Around the World and RECOGNIZE:<br />

The Voices of Bisexual Men. An advocate for the<br />

rights of people of all orientations and genders to<br />

live safely, openly and with full access and opportunity, my work focuses on<br />

increasing awareness and understanding of complex identities, and mobilizing<br />

people to be powerful allies to one another within and across identities and<br />

social movements.<br />
