Sounds like a good plan to me. Gay men throughout the ages have worn things (Oscar Wilde's green carnation) to let other gay men recognize them. But I'll bet you get some negative responses from the Gay Pride haters. Ignore them.
 
Sometimes we feel we like we want everyone to know at once, the best way other than using a speakerphone or something is by wearing something that denotes it right away.

I've had the most awkward times telling people I'm gay, and the most awkward reactions, I thought it would just be easier to have a bracelet or something, like he said.... actually, I'm still thinking about it.

But wearing one means everyone you know, and everyone you don't know knowing about your status.
 
My personal option is to go for it. Just remember you'll get some negative reactions as well but ignore those and have fun!
 
Sorry to lob in my own question into your thread, but I just wanna ask if that is a feasible thing for myself to wear in high school?
 
I think it is a brilliant idea. I have been wondering myself how to let people(well guys actually) know that I"m gay. I thought about having a t-shirt printed that says "I'm queer and I'm here" but I thought that might be a little too in your face for some people. The bracelet is a nifty compromise. Where do you buy one? on the internet?
So what if everyone knows we are gay? it seems that a lot of the time str8 guys go around telling about their sexual conquests to any1 who will listen, so why shouldn't gays be able to do the same thing? Truly, I think it's a brilliant idea.

Lalada, what is your high school like? what about your town? are you comfortable with people in your school knowing ur gay? It's definitely feasible for you to wear in high school. It's one of those things protected by the 1st amendment with free speech and all that.
 
it's just a phase... i used to think the same when i was your age. Not much time passed after i noticed that the bracelet didn't work as good as i thought, and it was useless.

But give it a try, there's nothing to lose (...and there's no much to win either).
 
I think it's a great idea also. I have been wondering how to let others know. Where would you buy one? off the internet? If any one knows how to get one, let us know here.
 
Pride bracelets, necklaces, and/or pins were very big sellers for me, when I was selling at the flea markets last year .... they come in a variety of prices from around $5.00 UP .... depending on quality ... I sold mine for about $7.95 to $12.00 .....
I think they are an excellent way to communicate to others of the same sexual orientation ....
 
Hmm, the less obvious one would be a pink one wouldn't it? Simply stating "pride"...
 
I thought the pink ribbon was for breast cancer? :confused:

I personally think there's a time and place for everything, but I also think there's a fine line between saying "I'm out." and saying "Look at me, I'm gay."

Click to expand...

indeed the most common association of the pink ribbon is breast cancer. i don't think quietly wearing a pride bracelet is crossing any lines, unless of course u run up to people, shove your wrist in their face and say "have ya noticed my gay pride bracelet?"
 
From time to time I'll wear a bear bracelet the colors of the bear flag. Nobody knows what it means because there are no gay bears in San Bernardino.
 
I used to wear a rainbow bracelet I made, just to remind myself of what I went through and as a testament to how I wasn't ashamed of who I was.

It's broken off (they never last that long), so I'll eventually make another.

If you want to wear one, wear it.
 
I think that form-fitting shirts, tight whiskered jeans, a faux-hawk, a white belt, and overly-plucked eyebrows are what scream 'look at me, I'm gay.'

A rainbow bracelet is what says 'I'm out.' I have one on right now, actually.

Besides, I'm too short to find shirts or pants that are tight on me besides girls' clothing, and ...fuck that, no way. I'd only wear a white belt if I really wanted to make a point (can't imagine what), and the only faux-hawk you might possibly find would be on my dead body. Besides, 'faux' comes from French... one of the most hideous languages in existence.
 
In think its a good idea, lets people know and open up. Either a braclet or a badge?
 
mehhhhh I don't like the sound of a badge. Now THAT's saying 'Look at me, I'm gay.' Badges are for events, or high ranks.
 
I still have all my pride rings and necklaces and bracelets.

T-shirts... buttons...

I dont' wear them much now but I felt SO proud wearing them when I was just out..

Go wear them everywhere and don't let anyone give you any shit, buddy...

Wish everyone had your balls.
