GAYLES.TV.- In the midst of a pandemic, surreal situations continue to occur. BiNet USA, an association that on its website is described as the B in the initials LGBTQIA +, claims to possess the rights of the bi pride flag. So through your account Twitter, which has mysteriously been canceled for the past 24 hours, began to demand money from users and activists for the use of the blue, purple and pink flag.

According to Wikipedia , the Bi Flag was designed by Michael Page in 1998. Page claims he designed the flag while working with BiNet, but it also says: «The Bi Pride Flag is the only bisexual symbol that is not patented, registered or marked as a service.«. The mess is served.

Messages to raise money on Twitter

From the Twitter account of BiNet USA different messages like this were sent to the bisexual author Jayne B Shea: "We in BiNet USA We ask that you get in touch so that we can discuss your use of the bisexual pride flag without any money going to our organization. Thank you for removing the banner from your site, social networks or work. We know this is a lot, so we hope we can reach a new agreement ». He also asked Shea to remove the flag from their social media accounts and their website where they sell T-shirts and other products with various designs that use the colors of the flag of bisexual pride.

According to reports, BiNet USA is the oldest defense organization in United States for bi + people and is known in part as a co-founder of Bisexual + Awareness Week, Together with GLAAD. But what happened during the last hours is too rare.
