How to "Look" More Gay

A dark grey pleated skirt, a white or red short-sleeved polo with school logo. Slacks are also an option, but they're pretty scratchy
Black athletic shorts to change into for sports class. Shoes also have to be black, but not formal (I wear black suede Gazelles.)

Good idea about the pin! At my school, though, I could probably get in trouble for wearing it. We're not really allowed to mention homosexuality in school, which limits a lot

 

Is jewelry allowed? If so, rainbow bracelet/necklace/earrings.
And as Love4Ever said.
Maybe a rainbow pencil case?
And like I said earlier, search for double venus necklace, they're on etsy. Watch out for taxes though.
Only buy from a country with no VAT and cheap shipping

 

It's a non-religious school, but because of the government, it's technically an Islamic school. I'm not sure, to be honest. People get away with drinking and smoking and other haram (forbidden) things at my school and on campus, so it might not be a big deal if I accessorize a bit. Thanks for the advice!
I only know of two people, but they're not very nice. They both identify as bisexual (one's a guy, one's a girl). They still bully others for "seeming gay," though, so I don't know how I feel about them. It's not a nice thing to say, but it's possible they're just saying it for attention. If they are truly bisexual, they seem to think they live in some kind of 1v1 world, because they're always making fun of people they think are gay. They target one of my brother's best friends just because he's not into sports, and I know for a fact that he's not gay anyways. There might be other queer people, but if so, they're all closeted (like me.)

 

That's why I thought a rainbow pencil case would be fitting. As she is still in high school.

 

Haha, me too! My friends back home are super accepting, so I wish I had had the courage to talk to them about it before I moved. It's not really accepted here in the Middle-East, so things like GSAs don't exist. There seem to be some small pockets of acceptance in some places. For instance, I do musical theater outside of school, and there seem to be a good number of other queer people involved in the productions (staff members and actors.) They're all a bit older than me so we haven't talked, but it's nice to see them around.
Thanks for your advice @RebeccaK and @Love4Ever ! Honestly, I think it'll get easier for me once I get out of high school, but you've really helped. It's not fun to have to keep my head down all the time, but it's the safer choice where I live. It's nice to be able to talk to people with similar experiences, even if it's just online. I know this isn't my thread, but thank you for your great answers and your support!

 

@Love4Ever Keep me posted on the gaze thing if you do decide to try it and succeed

 

I also wonder about it.
How to look more like a lesbian.

 

Well, if you go through this thread you'll see people giving advice including me. Do you think any of that would help?

 

Thanks for replying.
Rainbow/other signs? Seems like an option and an easy one but might be risky.
The look - I don't know, I just can't go about it in a thought-throughg manner, lol. Also in my experience even obvious flirting can go unnoticed and get dismissed as a joke or friendly affection or something similar.

Men's clothes. Yes, I wear them But yeah, I am quite a tomboy and I have no clue if it contributes to making me seem gayer. It's like, I just seem like someone who would wear men's clothes, you know. It seems. For the coolness factor the ways guys usually portray "cool". I'm into all the stuff like rock and hip hop and sports... I'm also a geek. So there is not much girl left here, lol. But flannel... is just not my thing. I always break my nails if too long, so... a gay point, lol.

 

Ha ha, thanks. That'd be nice if a girl hit on me...

Or maybe there was this girl in my college with whom I had the aforementioned look exchange ("toffee stare"), and she is quite femme and I have to say I have a bit of a crush on her too since those couple of looks. We just don't have any classes together. Or... maybe she just likes my clothes. To be honest, you never know what kind of affection you're dealing with. So... I guess the conclusion is that "the look" works.
