FOUNDER'S MESSAGE:
"We Are Reaching For the Stars!"
June,
2005
Dear
Fellow Members & Our Friends Worldwide:
As you may know we have recently embarked on a very ambitious program
to expand the reach and service of the Bi MEN NETWORK and our new Bi
& GAY MEN NETWORK. The first years were devoted - as they should
have been - to our core audience - bisexual and bi-curious men here
in North America. We have done that - and are now by far the largest
grouping of bisexuals on earth today with over 1/4 million active adult
male members. In recent years more and more gay men - either gay men
who were once bisexual - or gay men who just like us - enjoy our company
- or are just "regular" gay guys not really "into"
or in the gay "mainstream" have chosen to join us! They are
most welcome here!
NOW - we are expanding both globally and more deeply into the bisexual,
gay and "metrosexual" arenas.
Please note we now have new shared interest groups (as shared sports
interests), special interest groups, and our affinity groups. We strongly
urge those with such interests to peruse these on the Bi MEN NETWORK
home page at www.bimen.org
and we direct your immediate attention to our
new affinity groups:
Bi
MEN OF COLOR
Bi
MEN DOWN LOW
Bi
HOMBRES HACER CONTACTOS
(en espanol)
Bi
ARAB AMERICANS
Bi
ASIAN AMERICANS
Bi
NATIVE AMERICANS
If
you are a member of such communities please join there, or IF you have
a keen interest in such men join there.
Globally we are now in almost every nation that is a member of the UNITED
NATIONS and you can now click on a continent or region and check them
out. If you have an interest in or travel to certain nations please
do go join those groups. If you are, for example, a Polish-American
join us at Bi MEN POLAND and make some friends with bi and gay men in
Warsaw or Danzig or Cracow! If you are working on your French or Spanish
or such join some national groups with those languages and make some
new friends and polish your verbal skills! All our groups do have English
as the principal language in that increasingly English is the primary
tongue on the Internet today as it is with air traffic control for global
air transportation.
Few of us realize how REPRESSED human sexuality still is in much of
the world. Five nations still have laws that state homosexual acts are
punishable by death. Alternatively it is puzzling that the laws for
sexual freedom are now most open in: Ecuador, Fiji, Portugal and South
Africa - not the USA, Canada, Denmark, Sweden or France as one might
otherwise think. Our application for membership in the ILGA has been
pending in Brussels for some time now - as bisexuals are scarcely represented
in any major global or North American GLBT organizations at all. Strange
as it seems to me trannies are now better represented and heard in the
national and global organizations than we are.
MEN - just imagine how much trouble you have faced coming out and accepting
your own bisexuality or your own homosexuality in the United States,
or in Canada or in any other "first world" nation! Then imagine
what it is like for other such men in 2nd world and 3rd world nations.
Our new global outreach is important for them all. Many live in countries
where Internet access is their ONLY OUTLET and ONLY SUPPORT to know:
"You are NOT alone!"
SO - please help with this global outreach. As Oscar Wilde said: "We
may be lying in the gutter, but our eyes are fixed upon the stars!"
YES, for now our grasp does not match our global reach - but we are
doing our best. Won't you help me "MAC" with your fiver, or
your sawbuck or other contribution to help us go and grow and to do
this?
IF SO - please go now to: http://www.bimen.org/contributionpage.htm
- use Pay Pal or mail it in directly to me!
ENJOY THE HOLIDAY & LONG HOT SUMMER!
Big Hugs and Best Wishes,
Stewart (Mac) McCloud Founder/President
