    I have decided to find an LGBT support group in my area (Chicago suburbs), and there appear to be a ton of options, but all with a different slant. I just would like to talk and listen to people who are facing similar issues (i.e. I've accepted that I'm bisexual and need to decide how this fits in with the rest of my life). Can anyone help point me in the right direction? Thanks and Happy Monday!

    Not sure what groups are out there in Chicago, but I'd look for an organization that works specifically with people who are accepting/coming out as gay/bi/etc and see if they have a group specifically for bisexual women. NYC has a number of these options. I am part of one at the moment and it is indeed very satisfying, getting to hear different stories from so many different people who are going through something similar to you. Best of luck!
