Presented flag ratio

Is this meant to represent the amount of bisexuals in the population being a minority or something? If this were the case, then the heterosexual part of the flag should be bigger than the homosexual one to indicate their status as a majority as well. Actually, I think the majority of it should be purple and the top and bottom small. This does not indicate bisexual predominance, but rather it as a cutaway of a representation whose upper and lower limits need not be defined. Tyciol (talk) 05:48, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

I read somewhere it's meant to represent the fact that bisexuals lack visibility compared to homosexuals and heterosexuals, but I'm not sure it was what the original designers intended.

The links at the bottom of the article are bs, and this flag is terrible, seriously, someone come up with a new flag, this just further stereotypes us, gays have the rainbow and we have THIS?!?!?! This article should be deleted...... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.69.226.129 (talk) 22:09, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Citation for a certain portion

The paragraph "The deep...gender spectrum" needs citation. I was always told that the pink stood for people attracted to girls, the blue stood for people attracted to boys and the bi population was the purple, being attracted to either. I would add a citation needed but I don't remember how. 173.172.42.44 (talk) 21:19, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Company claiming to own the pride flag

This company is claiming to own the bi pride flag now, and is issuing orders to people to stop using them without paying them a license. Clearly a troll given that the bi pride flag is explicitly not trademarked. Some articles might pop up about this, at which point maybe it should be added to the article? --95.97.234.31 (talk) 11:16, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

If it gains that much traction maybe it should. Also people should watch out for the company messing with the article to support their side. Lockeral (talk) 18:23, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

They are now requesting this page to be edited perhaps protecting it temporarily would be a good idea https://twitter.com/binetusa/status/1255563160800522240?s=21 2600:1700:7480:95F0:34DD:8811:8D70:B25E (talk) 19:23, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Yeah, is there a mechanism to nominate pages for temporary protection? This appears to be a growing shitstorm, and this org are now actively lobbying for people to edit this page to suit their legal ends. BlackholeWA (talk) 19:42, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

@BlackholeWA:: Yes, you can nominate pages on Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_page_protection. --Medici (talk) 20:03, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

I recommend that editors not rush into requesting page protection. Admins will protect a page only if there is evidence of recent and persistent or a high level of disruptive editing. That is not yet the case here. NedFausa (talk) 20:05, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
