Biversity Dance Party
Biversity is a dance party for bisexuals and their friends. It is run by bisexuals for bisexuals and as such is guaranteed to be a very friendly and welcoming event. If you've never been to an event with several hundred other bisexuals then Biversity will blow your mind!

| Biversity 13 Twice the Luck? |
23rd Sept 2005 | Rogues | Held on "International Celebrate Bisexuality Day" this evening had relaxed tunes on the ground level floor and heavy pumping dance music underground which gave around 200 people the chance to get lucky for the night. |
| Biversity 14 Fur Feathers Fins & Flesh |
23rd Sept 2006 | Burdekin Hotel | Another ICBD party with around 140 people filling a dance floor along with great music, wonderful laser lighting, and plenty of animal costumes. Partygoers were once again full of smiles in keeping with the "attitude free" byline. |
The Biversity event is run by volunteers and proceeds from the excess of ticket sales over expenses go towards special events like our super duper Bi entries in the Mardi Gras Parades.
Bi Radio
Thanks to the publicity that came from the Biversity party, SBN was approached by the Out West & Proud Programme of community radio station 2GLF to take part in producing a segment specifically to cover bisexual issues and interests. For various reasons the segment din't eventuate. What we do have however is a team of Bi volunteers who take part in the programme to ensure that all the aspects of bisexuality get a mention. In 2003 the programme changed it's name to Queer Out West when some of our group took over as producers.
So to hear some out and proud bisexuals over the air try tuning in to 2GLF on Monday nights from 10pm to midnight on 89.3 FM. Note that the station is situated in Liverpool and hence reception is best in that general area and may not be possible at all in other parts of the city.
If you're interested in checking out the show in person or would like to become part of the team, just send us an email at admin@bi-nsw.org.au.
