Opinions on rainbow jewelry/clothing

I like the way they look, but I've never been one to wear colorful anything. I even prefer ash grey Tshirts.

I would actually love to wear a rainbow bracelet once I'm out to my closer friends. I don't think there's an easier way to be recognised by other LGBTs. Still, I can't say I'm not concerned by possible reactions from other people...

 

i only have a 'Rainbow' (the british childrens t.v show from late eighties early nineties) t-shirt from topman which has a normal rainbow on plus the puppets Zippy and Geoffrey, but it's good enough for me at this stage, will gett a bracelet soon though.

 

I think rainbow stuff looks snazzy. =D I like the colors! I've got a lovely little rainbow string bracelet a friend made for me, though putting it on and taking it off so often has stretched it so it tries to fall off a lot now. =( I've also got a little rainbow star necklace (which also tends to fall off the chain, augh) and rainbow dogtags! And a rainbow umbrella.

Not that I wear them overly often, though. I find wrist jewelry is a pain in studio classes if nothing else. The rainbow star's a big PITA to deal with because its clasp is broken and it tries to fall off a lot. And, at times, when I've done my hair up all spiky, I'm wearing the rainbow dogtag necklace, and am walking through the rain with my fruity-ass umbrella, I do sort of wonder if people don't think I'm trying too hard. XD It's not like I'm the straightest-looking gal on the face of the planet to start with. So I usually go easy on the jewelry. But oh god, I love pride parades. I can put all that shit on at once and not care. =P

But I totally don't think rainbows are tacky or anything. I like pride accessories! I'll see people wearing them, or rainbow stickers on their cars or something, and I'll be all, "Woo! Right on, my friend!"

 

Personally, I like it. I have a rainbow wristband that I wear pretty much 24/7. I just think it's really cool, plus it adds a tiny splash of color to my normal blue, grey, or white t-shirt and jeans or khaki look. I alos have an "Honor Diversity" little button I wear on my work uniform (They bedazzle our unifroms with store-related advertising shit anyway, so it really doesn't stand out. I call it a piece of "flair." ) I do have some people come up to me and say "OMG! You're family! That's so cool." I like the attention, I gotta admit. Unfortunately, no gay studs have said anything.

I do also own a rainbow dog tag and a rainbow choker necklace. I honestly never wear these, they're kinda reserved for Pride, I guess. The choker necklace is a little tight to wear all the time anyway. I also own a Pride T-shirt that I bought at Pride last year, and a t-shirt that says "Gay By Nature, Proud By Choice" that I bought specifically to wear to Pride last year. The Pride T-shirt I'll wear occasionally, but the "Gay By Nature, Proud By Choice" I'm saving to wear to this year's Pride festival. Wow, I sure said Pride alot in that paragraph, huh?

 

I agree. Some straight people don't pick up on it. Some do though and I get looks when I wear my bracelet I made with rainbow coloured beads. But mostly it's a reminder of me to be proud of who I am and that it's ok to be out.

...Although apparently my friends say you can spot me flashing on the gaydar if you saw me walking down the street. Not that I have a strut, and super short hair.. just that I don't act or dress like a ton of straight girls, and that I don't hide the fact that I look at women. Go figure. lol

 

This thread just reminds me that I need to get some.

 

I like rainbows. I have a small rainbow pendant that I wear most days. I think having recently come out, I'm pretty damn proud of it. It feels good to wear it. I won't forget the day I bought it... It was kinda like my "right, I'm gay and I'm gonna stop doubting it" day. It was great. I wear it for me, mostly.

I remember when I was little I wanted rainbow earrings like my aunty had... but she told me they were for gay people. Lol, I was so happy when I worked out I was gay. Rainbows are very pretty

 

I love rainbow stuff--in moderation.

I have a terrycloth rainbow wristband and a triangle rainbow pin, the pin being on my backpack at all times and I wear the wristband most of the time. Thats the most i'll ever have on at one time, I don't want to look like a walking talking paint splatter

 

Oh and I forgot this one. It's on my keychain. (Yay for the Pride knicknacks you get at Gay shops.)
Oh, and my car has a string with rainbow beads hanging from the rearview mirror. I don't think I'd put a bumper sticker up though.. you never know if someone'll want to "accidently" hit your car. :dry:

 

staight people should not pick up on rainbow stuff it should be some gay code!!!!!! . now since prides flag it all over the place closets gays have to find another way to hiddenly communixctae . as for me if i had a rainbow bracelet im not to sure if id have the guts to wear , now since im really pre army

 

i have a chain i always wear, just plain silver. i have 3 things on it, a st christopher for good luck, a silver heart and the front one is a heart with pride colours on it.
my gay friends notice, but no one else has ever asked about it.

i also have rainbow shoelaces. and sometimes i wear a rainbow belt.

 

well i really aint thought about wearing anything rainbowy haha. i had a really bright t-shirt on one day and i got a few comments about being gay from a freind for wearing it (he aint clicked yet you see) and also the fact i was in a gay bar. i dont mind it but i guess it just aint for me.

 

Wow, talk about "timing is everything" ..... A couple of weeks ago I ordered a rainbow ring for myself. Once it finally arrived ... I was reluctant to wear it for a few days (at least while I was at work any way). But after a few days I decided to just wear it and let the people that saw it deal with it (!) The only one who even noticed my ring was a new co-worker that saw the ring on my finger ... and later on that day she asked me if the rainbow design of the ring had a "meaning" of some sort. I said "yes it does ...and I hope some day you will figure it out for yourself" (!):eusa_clap

 

I like colorful*points to signature*. Don't really have much though. Price range means something in my world

 

I like wearing rainbow things. Though often times the only peolpe that notice are straight. :/

 

If I come across a rainbow rubber bracelet then I will totally buy it.

 

As soon as I get to college I'm going to buy some rainbow stuff to wear. Maybe a bracelet.
