    Robyn Ochs, the editor of the 42 country anthology "Getting Bi- Voices
    of Bisexuals around the World" and the quarterly newsletter 'Bi-women'
    is visiting Dublin next Sunday 5th September. She has been invited to
    workshop with under -23 years old LGBT people in the afternoon, but
    would like to meet local bisexual folk in the evening.

    We are organising a get together in Outhouse (105 Capel st) at 7pm Sunday
    evening. Please feel free to pass information about this on to people who
    may be interested. The meeting is open and welcomes everyone however they identify. Robyn is an inspirational speaker and not to be missed.

    She is a long time activist, professional speaker and workshop leader.
    Robyn has taught coursers on LGBTQ history and politics in the
    USA/Canada and the experiences of those who transgress the binary
    categories of gay-straight, black or white, male or female. She has
    spoken at hundreds of colleges, universities and colleges. She serves on
    the Board of Mass Equality and is the recipient of numerous awards
    including the National Gay and Lesbian Task Forces Susan J Hyde Activism
    Award. ( www.robynochs.com)

    Robyn Ochs is speaking Sunday 5 September at OutHouse, Dublin's LGBT Centre: youth up to 23 at 4pm; adults (all welcome) 6:30pm, followed by social time.

    She is a teacher, activist and workshop facilitator who was in the UK last weekend for Bicon or UK National Bisexual Convention

    The plan is for Robyn to give her talk followed by time for a conversation about the topic and then move on somewhere for a bit of a social gathering.

    It was a good evening, about 30 people were there, Robyn was a wonderful facilator and certianly gave me a few things to think about. There were a lot of memebers there from the Dublin Bi group and they have meetings once a month in Outhouse.
