We found a few groups and one listing that focus on bisexuality: | American Institute of Bisexuality"... encourages, supports and
assists research and education about bisexuality, through programs likely to
make a material difference and enhance public knowledge, awareness and
understanding about bisexuality." It is a professional association founded by
Dr. Fritz Klein in 1998 to:
 |
Educate the general public, civic and professional organizations on
bisexuality and the needs and concerns of bisexually oriented people; |
|
Promote and fund research on bisexuality; and |
|
Sponsor and organize conferences, public forums, panels, social and
cultural activities that increase understanding about bisexuality.

awareness about bisexuality and bisexual people."

Support group for straight/homosexual Marriages:The Straight Spouse Network (SSN) is a support group for the straight spouse in
those marriages in which the other spouse is gay or lesbian. They have five goals:
- to offer
caring support in a group context;
- to help women and men adjust to change;
- to deal
with negative emotions;
- to enhance feelings of worth and personal identity;
- to find
positive self-image and new direction.
They are also establishing an outreach program for
couples who have recently begun facing the fact that only one of them is straight, and are
developing an educational program to promote better understanding of homosexuality.
