About

Event Inactive: Bi+ Pride Party at Union Tavern was a one-off event that was part of Boston Pride Week in the past. If this event is happening again in the coming year, contact us or request a change using the "Event Options" dropdown below.

Join us for our first Bi/Pan+ Pride Party!

Doors open at 8pm for meeting and mingling with other bi/pan+ folks; dance music will be starting shortly thereafter. We're blessed to have the Boston-based, Miami-born DJ P1NO (@P11NO) crafting the soundscape for queer healing movement throughout the night! Tickets are $12 in advance or $15 at the door. 21+

This night is for people who have sexual and/or romantic orientations under the bi+ umbrella, including pan, omni, and other multisexual identities. We also welcome people questioning if they are part of the bi+ community, and are looking for a safe space to explore that aspect of themselves. We are also a trans-led space.

We founded Imbibe after recognizing there wasn't a prominent bi+ event or visibility during Pride month, and that our queerness is often only seen and validated as our same sex attraction. Being attracted to multiple genders or regardless of gender is also a queer sexuality, at odds with societal beliefs and values on monosexism. Our sexuality is queer in its fluidity, oscillation, refusal to be an either/or one-or-the-other binary. We are not queer only in the ways in which we can be put into a "gay" box, rather, our ability to feel same-sex attraction is only part of our queerness of having innate desire regardless of gender or for multiple genders - an innate capacity and pattern of desire no matter who we're with. This is something we'd like to feel Pride in, this June and always!

We need bi+ community and internalized pride! The bi+ community has worse physical health, mental health, and social outcomes than straight, gay, and lesbian peers. Bi+ community and internalized identity pride are the most effective strategies for having a positive, direct impact on the well-being of bi+ people. Finding joy and dancing together in a space where we have a sense of belonging and can develop relationships with mutuality, where our innate patterns of sexual desire are fully understood as positive, allowing us to complete necessary internal identity development processes: this is a major point of Pride month!

Cost: $12-15
