    As the title says how do you express yourself (clothing, hair, books, etc).

    Oh my! :lol:

    In real life, I'm very outspoken about my ideas about same-sex marriage and things like that, equal rights and such. Nothing else really.

    I don't wear my sexuality on my sleeves, I just wear what I like and am comfortable with. Although I support the LGBT community nonetheless.

    Other than maybe a rainbow bracelet, just do what comes naturally to you. If wearing stereotypical gay/bi clothing(bright colors, tight jeans, etc.) feels natural then wear them.

    I wear a rainbow bracelet I got from church, that's it. I really can't do very much, or the folks will bitch about it and tell me I'm obsessed and letting myself be defined by my sexuality. They pulled this when they found out I had a whopping two rainbow things. I now have four. I must look like I just worship the gay rainbow devil.

    The only thing I really do is like pro-LGBT things on Facebook. And even then I have to be careful. My family already yells at me for half of the stuff I like. But since I have gotten my own place I have been a lot more free with the stuff I like.

    Nothing really besides my attraction towards the same sex (if that's counted as expression of being LGBT+).

    By unconditional support for gay marriage and anti-bullying policies online and in person, and participation in the local community alliance and Pride center events, and by my gay out friends. In every other way you would presume I am very liberal, but straight from my appearance and behavior. Not exactly don't ask-don't tell, more like don't ask-it's none of your business.

    I don't feel the need to. I don't even feel like part of a "lgbtq community".

    You're part of the big, dysfunctional EC family:slight_smile:. If that's not a community, I don't know what is.:grin:

    On topic: atm nothing. However, I found a nice pride bracelet I'll order next month for National Coming-out week.

    I'm very open and honest about the fact that I am pro gay marriage and generally supportive of the LGBT community. I wear a rainbow bracelet, and I have a rainbow patch/badge thing on my handbag. I watch Orange Is The New Black and RuPauls Drag Race too. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I'm now honest about my sexuality fairly early on in the conversation, I hate it when we really get along but then they end up thinking I'm Satan's baby bc I like girls after hanging out for months.

    I tend to speak on behalf of the LGBT community, when necessary. I have a t-shirt that says, "THROW THEM rainBOWS", which is a play on"Throw Them 'Bows", as in elbows, which is multi-colored.

    I keep it fairly simple, but effective.

    I'm so edgy, the only ways in which I express my membership of the LGBTQSFJFFNjegn family is by refusing to criticise gay or trans people even when my family do it. Radical, I know.
