(The Australian Bisexual Men's Association Incorporated)
Gamma Project's Mission Statement
We believe that sexuality is an intrinsic part of who we are. It is not defined solely by either our gender or
our sexual behaviour. It affects our perceptions, attitudes and behaviours in all spheres of our lives and it
influences our relationships with others. Sexuality affects all aspects of our lives, the way we think, the way
we feel, and the way we behave.
The Australian Bisexual Men's Association is committed to assisting men who have sex with men and
women to be at ease with their sexuality and to develop a lifestyle management strategy which permits them to live a safe, healthy sexual lifestyle that respects the rights of all of their sexual partners, both male and female.
We do not believe that our individual sexuality is a choice, a preference, an aberation or a sin. We believe that different sexualities are valid and are a part of the great range of human differences
which are implicit in all other spheres of humanity. We do not believe that homosexuality or bisexuality can
be "cured" since it is not a disorder to begin with.
We are committed to assisting those individuals who cannot come to terms with their inherent bisexuality
with strategies which may help them to develop a lifestyle free of opression and depression. However we do not attempt to assist people to attempt to change their sexual orientation since we do not believe that such changes are sustainable or in the lifestyle interests of the individual.
We are committed to sexual health and safety, both for our clients and for all of their sexual partners. We
are committed to assisting our clients to achieve this through safe sexual behaviours and appropriate sexual health monitoring programs. In the interests of increasing understanding and reducing discrimination and bigotry we are also committed to the principle sexuality education programs for the general community which provide comprehensive information about the issues of STD transmission and sexual orientation.
We attempt to represent the views of our constituent group in a range of areas such as discrimination, the
provision of appropriate health care services and family law issues. We believe that bisexual men are, and always have been, marginalised in Australian society. We believe that this marginalisation can, and should be addressed, through education programs, research projects and services for bisexual men and their female partners.
