Prime Timers Forges ‘Instant’ Friendships for D.C.’s Mature Queer Community
In 1996, Bill Latham stumbled across an ad in the Washington Blade for the founding conference of the Prime Timers of the National Capital Area. He had just come out and hadn’t yet spent much second around the gay group. The Prime Timers, a new social group specifically for mature gay and bisexual men, intrigued him.
“I got up the courage to go to the meeting,” Latham says. “It was probably one of the hardest things that I did [to] proceed there, because I had not been around a bunch of gay men before.”
But he went endorse. Again and again.
More than 25 years later, Latham is the longest-term member of the Prime Timers of the National Capital Area, a branch of PrimeTimers Worldwide. The D.C. chapter hosts more than 100 social events a year targeted at older gay and bisexual men, with a current membership of about 120.
Many potential members aren’t clear on Prime Timers’ mission, so Gerry Woods, the D.C. chapter president, makes sure to set them straight.
It’s not a dating service.
Not a sex club.
Not a political group.

A Closer Look: Bisexual Older Adults
The Bottom Line
America’s population is aging: by 2050, the number of people over the age of 65 will double to 83.7 million (from 43.1 million in 2012). And while the public perception of lesbian, gay, pansexual, and transgender (LGBT) people is largely one of a young community, there are actually more than 2.7 million LGBT adults ages 50 or older living in communities across the territory. Many LGBT older adults are bisexual.
A Closer Look: Double attraction Older Adults takes a closer watch at bisexual older adults: who they are, their unusual disparities and resilience, and recommendations for competently serving the community of bi-curious older adults. Mounting data points to a clear picture of the lives of bisexual older adults: social isolation and invisibility, economic insecurity, and poorer health. Both the LGBT community and the aging network can and should do more to ensure that bisexual person older adults perceive welcome both in LGBT spaces and in the aging network’s provision of critical services and supports.

.. -vention or -ference!
BiCon is a weekend-long gathering for bi+ people, their friends, partners, and others with a supportive interest in bisexuality.
Who goes to BiCon?
A usual modern UK BiCon will have three to four hundred participants, of whom usually somewhere between a fifth and a third are at BiCon for the first moment. Most people would fit the definition of being multi-attracted , some don't. Even those who perform don't all utilize the labels "bi" or "bisexual" or even agree on what it means to be bi.
Throughout the event's history there have been more women attendees than men. There are plenty of people who are trans and/or are non-binary. Some are monogamous, some aren't. Some have children (and some take them) and some don't. Some attendees have been going to BiCon for longer than some other adult attendees have been alive. Some come to help change the world for bi+ people, others advance to party or meet old & new friends, and some come to do all those. While most people are from the UK, some appear from other parts of the world.
