You know we had to bring BV to the Big Apple! New York City will host one of four BUTCH Voices Regional Conferences in 2010. Last year’s ground-breaking BUTCH Voices conference brought together hundreds of self identified Butches, Studs, Aggressives and other similar identified folks, as well as many allies for conversation, workshops, entertainment, and good ol’ fashioned butch bonding.

Our hope for the BUTCH Voices NYC Regional Conference is to provide a similar, regionally-focused event with the same awesome, open spirit and attitude. We will also be including substantial programming around health and wellness.

People wanting to participate in the BUTCH Voices NYC Regional Conference can also emailBVNYC2010@gmail.com with their interest and questions.
