Here’s the thing though that I should make clear.
The shirts I’ve made with @RainbowandCoUK, I don’t get a cut. I never sought one or asked for one. I don’t want one.
I made those shirts SPECIFICALLY to help Bi orgs get money AND support a very inclusive LGBTQ+ business.

So when @PinkNews, an LGBTQ+ media organisation, decides to ignore my requests to cover the hashtag campaign and the shirts that were a part of that.
Only to follow that up with the OWN shirts with the same slogan with NO money going to Bi orgs…naturally, I’m going to be mad!

#BisexualMenExist was made FOR the community. The shirts were an extension of that. It was to increase visibility, to have Bi men help Bi men who may be struggling.
The shirts were to help raise funds for organisations who were doing the work but are often underfunded!

So this whole event is really underhanded and misguided. It’s profiteering where nothing goes back to the people who made it, who are doing the work, who support the community.
Anyway, I need to go to sleep. Muting in advance so I can wake up and not get mad again. Urgh.
