    Having just made myself one, I'm quite interested to see how many other people have them, made them, or don't.

    It would be nice to have one, but I'm so awful at doing this kind of things by myself, I mean crafts and stuff. I'd have no idea where to even start. :-D

    ^ go to craft store, get 4 colors of embroidery floss, not cost much, and you can make more and give away. tie a knot or loop of all color ends at one end, then pull out a few yards of floss and cut. you begin just making a half knot of the thred on far left over the one right next to it, then that one over the next, then that one over the far right one, then go from right to left same manner. eventually you measure to see it fits your wrist and tie off another end of all four with length to tie to other end. done.

    I had to google it (English not being my first language, I thought there was more to it than the literal meaning :grin:). So, I think I want to make one, therefore I chose "I want one".

    I have a really cool ring with a rainbow on it instead. The perfect level of discreetness. :lol:

    I'd say I wanted one... but I'm not sure I want to wear it on my arm. I hate wearing things on my wrists and hand. I wanted to show something of the sort... but the problem is I hate wearing accessories. Any ideas?

    Try wearing it for a few weeks. You should get used to pretty fast. I recently cut off an old festival bracelet after 2 years :wink:

    The reason I don't wear one is because I don't want people to think I am "super proud" of being gay. I try to be equal as much as possible. (though I'd love to wear one)

    I made one. I used Fimo for the beads and even though yellow turned out to look more like beige I like it.

    Definitely would like one, but not sure when I'll be ready to wear one.

    I have a rainbow pin on one of my jackets if that counts. I do want to make a pride bracelet at some point.

    I have a peace sign rainbow necklace that I bought recently and wear pretty much everyday. It was on a key chain, but I turned into a necklace. I also have a purple string bracelet on my right wrist which is lesbian code for single, and on my left wrist I wear a rainbow bracelet with charms. The charms are a four leaf clover (I'm part Irish), a Sundae with a cherry on top (I love all things sweet :wink: ), and a rainbow hand showing a peace sign.

    I don't always wear bracelets, but I wear my necklace even to work and family events. They have commented on it, but no questions that are too invasive.

    I wear ties sometimes because I think they look cute on me. I have girly ones with teddy bears and roses and shit. I'm really not hiding anything, but nobody ever seems to ask.

    I'm not so sure. I think I'll end up removing it, I can't really stand wearing bracelets. I can't even stand watches. I just got an idea though, I'd make a pin instead. That would be pretty cool.

    I was going to wear it so I can meet more LGBT people around me.

    I never really thought about it, but I think I'd be interested in one.
