Bi Definition formed in 1995 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 said they would continue to meet socially and maintained a Web site, but all activity soon died out, and the web site was taken down. Around 2018, a new group started, calling itself Bi+ Pride, with a placeholder website and primarily a presence on Facebook. See that organization's page here for more information. The following purpose statement of Bi Definition is from the Group's web site.
