    How do you show your pride ? I have a Bi pride flag as my phone background.

    I have a shirt.

    Front: "I like lasses"
    Back: "I like lads"

    And it's not a secret who I am and what I like at all.

    No offense but why should I have to show pride when I'm already proud of myself?

    I have a big pride flag in my window. And I'll go to events and join the LGBT Club of my college.

    By acting normally, because I am normal, just a different flavor of it.

    I don't do anything.

    I don't feel the need. I'm perfectly content with myself, and I don't need to assure myself of anything anymore :slight_smile:

    I have a pair of rainbow kneesocks, but I don't have the guts to wear them. I also have a rainbow patch, but I don't know what I should put it on yet...

    I wear a rainbow silicone bracelet that I got at Pride. I also have a full sized pride flag that drapes over the top of my bookshelf.

    I don't have pride, I'm not out to anyone except best friends, there are many people who would hate me if I came out where I live. But I may do it in my school.

    I have a bi flag picture on one of my instant messenger apps. I don't know if the people know what it means though. Except the ones I've told

    I've done this in several ways.

    I've had a few bracelets. One of my favorites was 8/12 Zodiac symbols in the Homestuck hemospectrum (which is a rainbow).

    A lot of Homestuck stuff, I've used as slight ways to show pride in both being LGBT and being a Homestuck. This could be a background, it could be an avatar, shirt, etc.

    I've also had some HRC stuff, like stickers. I'll put them on things like a computer or a hard drive, or whatever.

    I also have an HRC bag with the little "member" symbol on it, and I stick fun buttons on it. Yes, I plan to put the entire Homestuck hemospectrum on it.

    Currently, I have a rainbow keyboard cover (which I'm using to type this post).

    Oh, yeah! I almost forgot, my boyfriend gave me a mug that has a rainbow flag on it, and it says "I don't even think straight".

    I have a little rainbow pride flag hanging in my room, as well as a button that hung from my backpack for a while until it started falling off somehow. I guess it's just not as strong as it once was. But I may try to put it back on and make it stay when school starts again. I would like to get a bracelet sometime!

    I also have a long, thick plastic rainbow chain that I only wear at Pride events, lol. It's a bit much for me to wear casually.
    And this is a little more subtle but my phone wallpaper currently depicts Alex and Piper from OITNB sharing a moment :grin: Anyone who sees that might become suspicious.

    The mug on my desk at work has the by pride flag in a triangle in the background, with "Why limit yourself to only HALF the population?"

    Hmm, I've given this some thought since I've admitted to myself that I like girls. I've never been to pride events but I'm not the type to wear t-shirts screaming I'm gay, any more than I'd wear a T-shirt that shouts I'm religious. I don't think I need a special event to feel good bout being gay. When I do step out of the closet it will be quietly, telling the people who need to know, like immediate family. But I don't want to be firstly defined by my sexuality, I'm already defined by my wheelchair. I'll treat it as normally as possible, no different than my religion or the color of my hair. Maybe my opinion will change down the road. I totally get wanting to be with like minded accepting fellow peers, but I don't see the need for all the fanfare. For those who are into it, awesome! Its just not for me.
