Many of you online may have seen recent posts from BiNetUSA regarding the bisexual flag. \u00a0BiNetUSA have declared that they own the copyright of the flag<\/a>, and that they will sue anyone or organisation using it, if they make over a certain amount of money per year. \u00a0This has understandably upset many bi+ people.<\/p>\n

BiNetUSA claims the flag is theres, but they themselves tweeted this in 2018:<\/p>\n

\"FA23D1D8-D0C8-44E9-BAF6-198C24A7250C\"<\/p>\n

We at Bisexuals of Colour would like to make public that we in no way agree, endorse or support this decision. \u00a0We are all sad that BiNetUSA have made this cash-grab, when it isn\u2019t even possible to copyright geometric shapes and flags in general in the U.S \u00a0We feel this incident will only add to the myth that Bisexuals are greedy, unreliable and untrustworthy. \u00a0We also acknowledge that this will harm Bisexuals who are people of colour, and\/or Indigenous, who are some of the most vulnerable out there. \u00a0 We call on BiNetUSA to apologise for the hurt and fear they have generated as a result of this. \u00a0Many small bisexual creators, artists and craftspeople now face an uncertain time (during a flipping pandemic!). Nobody needs this.<\/p>\n

Much love and acceptance to all of our bi+ siblings around the world.<\/p>\n
