Do you notice people who wear Pride paraphernalia?

I guess I would notice it and think that it is LGBTQ related...but the other part of me is so dense and lost in my own little world of hyperchondria that I would not put two and two together...in other words I would think it is LGBTQ related, and yet I would think that you must be straight and that you do not actually know that it is LGBTQ related.
Yep, that's how much of a massive div I am regarding peoples' sexuality...

 

That would fly under my radar--although you can't swing a dead cat without hitting someone LGBT where I live so I may not be as much on the lookout.

 

I would wear something purple then. Or multi-coloured.
I have an LGBTQ ring of like 5 coloured stones, and a toe ring like that as well.

 

I don't notice any of this stuff. There are so many different causes now with different ribbons or badges, etc. Colours don't indicate anything to me. Rainbow colours would mean something if big enough, but then there are many different rainbows now. And rainbows used to be a kids thing. Are rainbows still a kids thing? Kids like colours.

I remember a guy at the front of ASDA years back selling / collecting for red ribbons. No one was buying. I asked what it was about. It was about HIV. I bought one and he pinned it on me. I'd not have known otherwise. I wouldn't be surprised if people thought I was gay just for having one of the little red ribbons on. I wouldn't of other people, but we all know how some people can be.

I have this red, white and blue wrist band. It was sold to raise money for the injured military personnel. I like the colours. I dare say some people will think me gay for wearing it. It seems that to be a man you have to wear a yellow or white one to have a manly cause - lol. But I just let bigots think what they want to think now. A rainbow one of those wrists bands would seem self evident though - in support of LGBTQ. I've not got one of them though. I just have the red, white and blue on somewhere.

So in answer to your question, no I don't notice.

 

There's enough pretty obvious stuff going on where I live and my gaydar is well honed enough that I guess I don't really look for the subtle hints. You'd have to wear something pretty obvious for me to remark it--even at that point I would probably only notice it after deciding someone was LGBT.

 

I don't think the colour of clothes gives much of a hint. Different people like different colours. People have clothes bought for them. People like sticking out for all sorts of reasons. Some people don't like sticking out.

 

I saw someone at my work the other night with a pin on their badge with the bisexual flag colors on it. I think if you already know what the colors mean, it's not hard to pick them out.

 

I didn't before but I do now. It's crazy how much you start to see and notice after realizing you're part of the group. Little circular rainbow pins on backpacks catch my eye now. Sometimes people put a second pin next to it that's more specific like bisexual colors or the transgender symbol.

It also makes me look back at things I saw before and didn't understand at the time. One of my math teachers had a piece of paper taped to her office door that said "safe zone" in rainbow colors. I thought it was just her being artistic - now I realize it was an LGBT thing.

 

where my mom lives I don't see a whole lot of rainbow items. The other day at Whole Foods one of the cashiers was wearing a rainbow scarf and I wondered. if she was a member of the LGBTQ community....... but yes. I do notice, to answer the question.

I have these rainbow hoops I've started wearing recently. It's my way of coming out without actually verbally coming out. [also I'm in support of the LGBTQ comm. and that's my way of letting people know.].

 

The bisexual flag is recognizable to people in the know, so I think a bracelet with that exact sequence of colours would tip off a person who is into pride flags, etc.

 

I've seen some people at my school wear it, and I've seen it on cars too sometimes. I want to get some equality and pride stuff for myself soon too, especially the equality symbol since it could also be a symbol for general equality and general open mindedness. I'm thinking of doing something subtle but present for coming out day next year, making myself, or ordering on amazon maybe, idk. A trans pride bracelet and maybe a bi one too. At school, so my parents wouldn't know but people at school would. I'm already openly out to most people at school but I might make a little statement just because, and also both to show anti-lgbt people I'm not afraid of them, and to show other lgbt people that a fellow lgbt person is there, and maybe it will also make someone who is in the closet feel better knowing there are other lgbt people there, and if they need someone to talk to, my bracelets could be a conversation starter or show that I'm there.

 

In that case, you might want to get one that's obvious, with the exact hue of ea/ and looks identical to the flag :^) Happy shopping
