New York Area Bisexual Network
About New York Area Bisexual Network
Founded on the principle that bisexual visibility and community cohesion are essential to individual and collective wellbeing, the New York Area Bisexual Network serves as a vital gathering place for bisexual, fluid, pansexual, and queer-identified people throughout New York, NY and the greater Tri-State area. The organization's mission centers on empowering community members and their families to live full, rich, safe, and happy lives while actively protecting the bisexual community from discrimination and biphobia. NYABN recognizes that bisexuality encompasses diverse experiences and identities—from people attracted to the same and different genders to non-monosexual and questioning individuals—and creates intentionally inclusive spaces where all are welcomed and affirmed. The network honors bisexual history and activism, celebrating pioneers like Brenda Howard, the bi-identified activist known as the Mother of Pride. Through regular community meetings, social discussion groups, and peer support networks, NYABN fosters genuine connections among people who understand the unique experiences of bisexual life. The organization operates on collaborative principles, inviting community members to contribute their skills and voices to strengthen the network. In New York, NY, NYABN stands as a trusted resource where bisexual individuals can find belonging, learn their history, and connect with others navigating similar journeys.
