Join us at MoCo Pride Center to honor the legacy of Loraine Hutchins and to celebrate her lasting impact on the bi+ movement and culture.
Loraine Hutchins, Ph.D., was a founder and leader of the U.S. bisexual rights and liberation movement who has increasingly integrated issues of spiritual beliefs and practices into her sexuality education work. She co-edited Bi Any Other Name: Bisexual People Speak Out, the anthology that catalyzed the Bi+ movement decades ago. One phrase you'll often hear when folks talk about Loraine Hutchins is, "She was a force of nature." And so she was, and so she is.
On May 2, 2026 (which would have been her 78th birthday), we will hold a gathering to honor her legacy and celebrate her lasting impact on the bi+ movement. Together, we will honor Loraine's memory, explore her work, and envision the future of the bi+ movement she worked to establish.
This day-long event will have an in-person and virtual viewing option, so feel free to join us from anywhere in the world. For those who join us at the MoCo Pride Center, coffee, water, and lunch will be provided. Dietary restrictions should be indicated when you submit your ticket information.
