Bi Definition formed in 1996 from the merging of two other bisexual support groups that met at the Counseling Center of Milwaukee, BiDesign (a women's group), and an unnamed men's group. Bi Definition exists to provide members with a sense of belonging not always found in the gay or straight communities. Members hold social gatherings and participate in local events such as PrideFest. In response to declining attendance at business meetings and dwindling financial resources, Bi Definition voted to discontinue its print newsletter and regular meetings in 2004. The group continues to meet socially and maintains a Web site.
