Is it possible to make people think you're gay without coming out?

    I hate coming out. Mainly because I'm scared of being wrong and I've realized its kind of corny. Is there a way to make people think you're gay without saying anything?

    A few people
    "Hi. My name is _____ and this is my girlfriend ____" or "Me and the girlfriend went _____ last weekend"

    ... or if your bold, suck a titty in front of them.

    Just make it casual and nothing to be concerned about and most others will follow your lead. No need to throw glitter or butch everything up, most won't really dive deep into things other than a confirmation that they heard correctly.

    I recently set this as my desktop background :slight_smile: I think people are starting to get the hint.

    But yeah, you don't have to be obvious, just be yourself. If you want to set a pic of a hot girl as your desktop background, do it! If you want posters of hot girls in your room, go for it! Or if you're around straight guys that say "Ooo damn that girl's hot" just be like "Hell yeah she is!" (if you think so). Just stuff like that. Hope this helps!

    Having people recognize you as gay is sort of the definition of "coming out". When they think of you as gay, you have "come out". If you mean, how do you do it without sitting down and explicitly telling them to their face, yes there are a lot of ways to do that by your actions, the way you dress, the way you use makeup and cut your hair (if you want to look "butch"), or by the use of rainbow jewelry and accessories. You can also do it in the ways mentioned above, such as doing things which imply you are gay without explicitly saying it, or dropping hints such as the kind of gay things or pages you like on a Facebook page, or more explicitly the "Interested in Women" preferences item. It's not that hard to get the message out if you want to.

    If you're on social media (e.g. fb) and have a lot of family and friends on there - start "liking" a lot of LGBT and/or marriage equality related organisations, news stories, youtube videos, movies, singers, actors etc...

    I was like semi-out to a girl in one of my classes before I started coming out. I never said it but I feel like she just understood based on how I acted. She was gay too, so it's a little different. But basically, I just talked about gay stuff with her a lot. So like tv shows with queer protags, LGBT current events, that sort of thing.

    As for other people, you can just casually slip it in to the conversation. This is what I plan to do for new people I meet or get closer to, because I agree, it's kinda corny.
