Here at Biscuit we’re kicking off the new year by asking what the British bisexual community wants in 2017, not just from the wider world, but from itself.
With that in mind, we asked working class BiCon attendees to tell us what they want they want to see from their communities . Here’s what they said.
There’s no denying that working class bisexuals in the British bi community are a hidden minority. We’re not easy to spot, mainly because so few of us look like traditional working class stereotypes, but that doesn’t mean we’re not there. And when you’re invisible, as bi people know all too well, it’s easy for the prevalent group to assume you’re not there at all.

It’s that time of year again: booking is now open for BiCon 2016.
This year the three night event, taking place at the University of Central Lancashire, falls just days after the first EuroBicon for more than a decade. The team anticipates a greater number of first time attendees:
“There are three major airports within 60 miles of Preston, so you could hop over from Amsterdam in just a few hours,” they told Biscuit.
The event runs from 4th – 7th August in Preston and includes a packed schedule of workshops, seminars and talks as well as nightly entertainment.

As the last remaining delegates slowly dribble out of the university of Nottingham, it is time to look back on the packed weekend of classes, workshops and merry-making general and specific. And since we drank the bar dry of vodka, we’re going to need a little help remembering.
The wait is finally over. Booking for the biggest event for bisexual people in the UK is now officially open. With prices starting from just £20 for a one day pass, or three days with accommodation and meals from £124, it one of the most affordable BiCons of recent years.
This year, BiCon will be held at the Universty of Nottingham. It promises an exciting programme of workshops, talks, discussions and social spaces where bisexual people, their friends, partners and allies can get together in a safe and understanding environment where they can truly be themselves.
Visit the BiCon 2015 website to book your place. But don’t dawdle – places are limited and they’re going to go fast!
Biscuit will be there with bells on. We really hope to see you too!
