Do you have any secret signs to communicate with other lgbt members?

    I just know the typical right earring gay, left earring straight. but that is not always the case for me T_T, so what are the "secret codes" you know or that you use?

    I don't personally use any yet because I'm not fully out and I've never been to a gay club or anything, but I know that a particularly common one is wearing a rainbow bracelet.

    I wear a rainbow bracelet on days I feel brave ,when people know I am gay the say sometimes say its my body language like I keep more eye contact and smile more In a certain way at other women than straight girls , hope that makes sense

    Hah, I screwed up on that one, I've got an earring on the left ear because I got it pierced before I knew about that stuff...

    Someday I would buy a rainbow bracelet, but it's not really the best idea at this moment (considering my out status).

    I'd buy a rainbow bracelet, but I feel as if I did, they would just consider me plain gay. So I'll pass on that one.

    I wear a rainbow bracelet every day. I also sometimes wear a ring on my middle finger of my right hand, which is another secret sign between LGBT members, or so I have heard.

    Anyone backup the ring idea? I think its great. subtle but obvious if you know. and only a 1/10(ish) chance that someone accidentally did it :lol:

    LOL re the ring thing. I don't think a ring or a piercing is a reliable sign.

    I love my rainbow bracelet, as a feminine looking bi girl, it's my only was of being visible!

    I've heard that there's a particular way of walking and a way of holding eye contact, but I'm fairly oblivious to all of this...

    lol, when I was bold enough to stop hiding my gay pendant, I was terrified people on the subway would point at me. Guess what, after a year of wearing it, nobody has a clue what it means. It's a puzzle pendant with two Mars signs.

    Well, that sounds cryptic to me as well. So I doubt you'll likely get much flak.

    :eusa_clap I'm amazed nobody's picked up on that! I admire you for having the courage to wear it though, I don't think I would! :icon_bigg

    Not out yet, so I certainly don't want to do anything like wearing a bracelet that would alert my wife at this point. But I must be sending out signals of some kind, because a guy at work realized it without my saying anything directly to him.

    I have heard about a ring in a little finger. I haven't found a ring that's small enough and made of good material.

    I've worn my rainbow bracelet with 2 mars signs (that I've got to fix before my trip), and although it's usually on a day where I also wear a hoodie, I've also worn it with just a t-shirt and jeans. Nobody's picked up on that, at least as far as I've noticed..

    Really? You'd think that would be a pretty obvious sign...

    It's not a secret, I'm holding hands with another guy. Doesn't get more obvious than that.

    Is there anything that isn't as obvious as a rainbow, but could still be noticed?
