    I wear a rainbow bracelet and I'm also getting a gay pride sort of t-shirt soon. ^.^

    And I'm very open and comfortable with my sexuality, so that probably makes a statement too.

    I can't show pride because I'm closeted to everyone in my family, except my mom...And in a country like this, it's kinda dangerous to be openly Gay...To straight boys at least...But if I didn't have those problems to prevent me, I would wear a rainbow bracelet, and get a tattoo of two Male symbols hooked together...

    I'm not really a "rah rah for gays" kind of person, but I've got a rainbow button I'll wear on occasion. S'about it really.

    I recently bought a shirt that says "I'm not gay but I think my girlfriend might be" and a bracelet with two female signs on it.

    I have a pair of buttons pinned to my jacket, next to my adventure time buttons, one has a rainbow background with a pair of female symbols: ♀ ♀ interlocked the other is a rainbow yin-yang... they came in a set with two other buttons, a rainbow smiley face and a rainbow peace sign but I only wear first two... It's funny how many people have complimented me on them or asked me about them, I really didn't expect anyone to really notice them honestly o.o I do occasionally get confused looks since the first is obviously lesbian pride and I don't exactly pass... But oh well! I'd really like a transpride button someday too :slight_smile:

    I own a lot of pride stuff. Bracelets, t-shirts, flags, stickers, shirt pins, I guess I show off pride enough. :slight_smile:

    I like drawing symbols on my hand like the ace of hearts for asexuality and the gender logos for bisexuality. I also have two buttons that I wear on my bag that say "Challenge Homophobia" and the other says "Queer and Trans Ally" and that one is all rainbow-y :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I have a bracelet that has the colors of the pride flag. But I want to go to the mall to get that bracelet from Spencer's that has the colors and the word PRIDE on it. I love going there and I hope that it's still there!

    Sometimes. More so when I was younger and just started connecting with the LGBTQ+ community but now I'm much more relaxed and reserved about it.

    I don't feel pride for my homosexuality, I don't know how anyone can feel proud of their sexual orientation. Pride should be reserved for something you accomplish, not for something you just...are. While I do not have pride, I certainly don't feel in any way ashamed of my sexual orientation.

    I think in this case 'pride' is being considered the opposite of 'shame'. Having pride means you're not ashamed. It's not like we think we've accomplished anything simply by being gay.

    Can't show pride because I'm not out to anyone. But I like pictures related to the LGBT community on Facebook, and do other little subtle things that may suggest I'm LGBT.

    I answer honestly if I'm asked about it, but I sing with the Rochester Gay Men's Chorus. I'm a 1st tenor and am always positioned in the front row. I've a pride ring, but I only wear it in the summer. Why I don't know?
