United States, Dallas , Sheraton Hotel

Bisexual/Pansexual/Fluid Organizing Institute (Allies are welcome! Help make your group/community more bi-friendly/inclusive.) Spend a focused, fun, productive day with bi/pan/fluid leaders to learn how to grow bi and bi-friendly groups and communities at the local, regional and national levels. You’ll identify issues, brainstorm solutions to challenges, set goals, pinpoint strategies, develop media skills/campaigns and special projects, target funding, learn a little history (BiNet USA turns 20 and the Bisexual Resource Center is 25) and network with others. Plus it won’t all be work: we’re planning some playful socializing surprises in a supportive, safe environment. Yes, you can come out as bi, fluid, pansexual or bi-friendly! We’re especially eager to train younger activists, elders, people of color, and folks who don’t feel they “quite fit in” with other groups, queer or otherwise. Help plan and lead the next wave of bi activism! Facilitators: Angel Fabian, Denise Penn, Ellyn Ruthstrom, Estraven, Faith Cheltenham, Gary North, Luigi Ferrer, Matt Goodman, Penelope Williams, and Robyn Ochs

All we ask is that you make a note on your registration form. If this is not followed we can not make any promises. * Can a team reserve a spot? The only way to reserve a spot is to register before the deadline. Some teams turn in their payment and registration form before their team is complete.

United States, Arlington, Six Flags

As many of you know, each year we are greeted by a group of anti gay demonstrators positioned just outside of the main drive into Six Flags, touting such slogans as "fags go to hell" and actively encouraging families to turn away from the park. It is always a real downer right before a fun filled day.
In 2009 Equality March Texas has decided to fight the hate with the "Big Gay Welcome Wagon." We will get there early and occupy the space normally covered in anti gay ugliness. For the first time, visitors to Six Flags Over Texas will be greeted by smiling, flag waving LGBT Folks and Allies welcoming them to the park! *REMEMBER, we will be outside of Six Flags, so you don't even have to purchase tickets to the park.. or if you are going to Gay Day at Six Flags anyway, why not spend a few minutes showing your pride with the folks from Equality March Texas?
