Seattle Bisexual
Women's Network
Statement of Purpose
We are a group of self-identified
women from
diverse backgrounds working to create a feminist bisexual support network.
We promote, in both the heterosexual world and the lesbian, gay,
transgendered
community, the understanding and acceptance of bisexuality
as one of many valid sexual identities.
We regard ourselves as part of the
community united against heterosexism and homophobia. We are dedicated to
the right of all people to define their own sexuality, free from any
social, political, or economic coercion. The discriminations we face based
on our gender and our sexuality are not the only forms of oppression. We
recognize that oppression is non-hierarchical and that none of us is free
until all of us are free. We have invested ourselves in the feminist
struggle to transform our culture into one free of all forms of bigotry,
hatred, and exploitation.
We seek to provide a safe place for
women to explore all aspects of their sexual orientation and identity. All
self identified women are welcome to attend SBWN activities. We are a
women's group in order to create a safe space for women's expression and
leadership. We come together to affirm ourselves and our choices.
