Wearing a Pride Bracelet

I'm wondering the same thing too. Can somebody post an example of what they actually wear?
 
It's up to you. You can let people know you're gay in a blatant way, a subtle way, or not at all.

I have a couple "gay" items - a rainbow necklace, and a bracelet. Don't wear them much, except on Pride Day. But that's me. I don't have any issue with people who do.

>>>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?

Depends on the high school, probably. Are they open-minded? Are there "out" gay students there? It would've been rather dangerous in my school, but I went to an extremely white suburban high school in a red state in the 80s. :)

I can't imagine how it wouldn't work out, unless it's too chunky, keeps slipping off, or looks ugly, haha.

Well I've been wearing my pride bracelet for about a week now. Actually no one said anything about it. I was hoping that someone would have said something, but I'm not wearing it for attenion, I'm wearing it for myself.

Well glad that you are wearing it for yourself. I'm wearing it for myself as well, but I know that where I live no one will know what it means.
 
I personally find it annoying to have extra things attached to me. For some reason wearing rainbows makes me feel like I'm 5 years old watching disgustingly slow and overly energetic kids shows again. Not like I don't have that in me, but it's too much. I had a rainbow pin attached to my backpack in university. Nobody really noticed except for one girl who asked if I was really gay. I told her I was, and she pretty much said, "that's cool" and went off to get her lunch. It didn't help me find even a potential date, ever.

When I was in grade 12 I came out (the first in a school of ~2000 students), so I have no trouble being myself and being proud of being gay. I just think rainbows are ugly, the same way I think pink is ugly (ugh most hated colour ever is baby pink...BARF)
 
know how you feel, im not totally out or anything like that (couple of people know) but how the hell do you let other guys out there know you're gay without making some kind of statement with a rainbow coloured item.

//Also agree cant stand rainbows//baby pink their just shit colours!
 
Hmm, there's one fully out gay guy that went to my school who's good friends with some of my friends, but he's afraid of me... people think and thought he was loud about his being gay. There's some guys in the younger grades that are obvious but I don't know if they're out or not...

Now, there are a couple others that I personally know of but most people don't... kinda a thing I have going with some girls I know, the gossip yada yada.

My school isn't the friendliest place, as it is clique-e like a mofo, but I've never was one to fall into that crap, my coming out to let close to everyone know... will be interesting to say the least.
 
I wear a Pride belt most of the time (even tho I'm Bi [Bi colours are so yuck]) since coming out (or just being drunk and calling my best friend's bf hot and it leading on from there ... ;p) and I havn't had any negative responses.

Had alot of people ask if I am actually gay and nearly all, like most out of several hundred (not that I'm popular, I have too many classes, out-of-school-other-friends-circles) take it as a matter of fact. Generally it just interests them and I get to make friends with more people whatever their orientation. Those that mock are generally obvious beforehand but in a new environment it's a good inital filter. :)

Tho I don't wear it to attract other gays/bi's but more as statement. Even tho I live in south east England (near Brighton) which is about as liberal as anywhere comes (except maybe some nordic'ish nations) I still see the need for Pride activism. Guess that's just me, I see enough church/white nationalism stuffed in my face that a simple passive symbol of my support for GLBT pride is far from 'in your face.'

Saying that, I don't know if my uncle or aunt have seen it/know what it means because they have been struggling to comprehend their own son's sexual orientation.
