But Sydney’s bisexual+ scene has a rich history\, and this year we’re celebrating it in style! \nWe’re teaming up with the iconic honour to take over Kinselas for a huge night of bisexual+ celebration. We’ll honour those who paved the way and celebrate the strides our community has made toward inclusion and pride. \n*What’s Biversity?* It’s a legendary bisexual party that started in 2001 when there was a ban on bisexuals in the Gay and Lesbian Sydney Mardi Gras. Founder Michael Wynter started Biversity because “there was no place for bisexual people to go in Sydney” (Star Observer\, 2008). What began as a house party grew into a major event\, eventually being endorsed by Mardi Gras and welcoming bisexuals back into the fold! \nFor this special night\, BiCONIC host Bree Mountain will be joined by Biversity founder Michael Wynter as co-host! Expect to see original Biversity drag queen Pandora’s Box and DJ Flair spinning vinyl for an epic throwback set! \nPLUS – Stay tuned for a major announcement featuring some of BiCONIC’s standout performers from our 2018 launch! \nIn 2003\, Michael noted\, “My impression is that there’s a lot of bisexual people in Sydney
 but that it’s a bit underground.” Times have changed\, and now Sydney is brimming with bisexuals. We’re excited to come together and celebrate our history and achievements since Biversity started in 2001! \nTix \nEarly Bird – $15 \nFirst Release – $20 \nSecond Release – $25 \nThird Release – $30 \nLimited door sales – $35 \nFULL LINE UP ANNOUNCED SOON! \nWe are so excited for you to join us on the 21st September for our BiCONIC x Biversity collaboration to celebrate over 20 years of bisexual+ parties!! \n-BiCONIC & Biversity \nBiCONIC prides itself on creating fun\, safe and welcoming spaces for the community to celebrate and connect. Welcoming people of all sexual orientations and gender identities. BiCONIC is an inclusive & safe party environment focused on connection\, celebration & pride. We particularly welcome the bisexual+ community\, the broader LGBTQIA+ community\, friends & partners. \n___________________________________________ \nBiCONIC acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land in which we will meet\, the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation and recognise their continuing connection to land\, waters and culture.
