BiNet USA / Current work
Record & Response
An account that can be checked. A response that can be heard.
We will face misrepresentation directly, including accounts of Faith Cheltenham and BiNet USA. We will do it with dated sources, attributed testimony, clear disagreements, and corrections that remain visible.
What belongs in the record
A historical page records what was published in its era; it does not independently prove every assertion it contains. A current response must identify what it addresses and what its evidence actually establishes.
Where a matter remains disputed, we say so. Where a statement is personal testimony, we attribute it. Where a finding comes from a court or other authority, we identify the decision and its scope.
Our publication standard
This release publishes the standards and Faith's community letter. It does not add a named allegation dossier, claim that disputes have been adjudicated, or release private board, legal, financial, or family records.
- Documented public record: dated material with an accessible source where possible.
- Personal testimony: an identified person's account, not an invented independent finding.
- Policy proposal: a change we advocate, not a description of law already in force.
- Disputed or unresolved: competing accounts or insufficient evidence, clearly labeled.
- Withheld: material whose privacy, safety, consent, or evidentiary limits prevent publication.
Flag controversy and activist credit
We do not treat the flag controversy as the whole of BiNet's history or Faith's work. Our response begins with organizer attribution, evidence preservation, and a distinction between stewardship, commercial activity, and legal ownership claims.
The heritage page credits the people associated with the flag and Pride Day. This site does not assert exclusive rights over the original bisexual pride flag. Any future account of disputed decisions will require dated records, appropriate permissions, and review.
Request a correction
Send the page URL, the specific wording, the correction requested, and a public source if one is available. Keep the first message minimal; do not attach private records, identification, intimate material, or another person's personal information.
An initial message is a request for review, not a promise of publication or a confidential legal relationship. Material edits will identify what changed and why.
