    Do you wear anything that supports diversity (or have something like a sticker on your car...)? What reactions have you had? If not, are you worried to try something like that?

    I have all kinds of rainbow stuff. No one notices, as far as I can tell.

    I don't. I'm not out to very many people. I would wear a bisexual pride bracelet because I like the colours (they are colours that I wear) and not many people would know what it represents.

    I don't think I'm ready to show my colours yet.

    I have a rainbow chain anklet.
    Most of the time it's hidden by long pants or socks, but I feel more confident by having it there.

    My mum's (not out to her yet) seen it, but not sure if she understands the meaning of it.

    I was tempted to get one, but I don't think people would recognize the colors. I prefer our colors to the rainbow, honestly.

    That sounds really cute. I want one. :grin: I'm not (and feel like I'll never be due to extraneous circumstances:eek:slight_smile: ready to come out to my mom, but I do want to wear a bi pride bracelet or anklet while out in public. Sooner or later I'm going to cave and get one.

    I have an Obama/Biden bumper sticker. In my town, that's a pretty big giveaway. Haha.

    I used to have a few pride things, but I stopped because it wasn't me! It's not really something I would wear.

    The only comments I've gotten about my bracelet is how nice it looks. It is a homemade bracelet that I bought online.

    Yeah the vast majority of people don't recognize the colors so I was thinking about buying a rainbow bracelet as well. I still love my bi pride bracelet and I'm glad I bought it

    I've got a rainbow pride belt, anklet, bracelet, sticker, and flags.

    I don't really wear any of it anymore, but I would wear my anklet in the summertime. It was more to help me become comfortable with my sexuality when I came out last year. :slight_smile:

    I wear a rainbow bracelet and a bracelet from columbus ohio pride.

    I am getting a window sticker for my car (It just got mailed).

    I used to have a rainbow belt, but sadly it died of wear and tear. So, now I have an angry cat belt.

    I have a rainbow bracelet I wear every day, or nearly every day. I hope it gives off some hints, but nobody's said anything yet. Only comment I've received is "Did you make that?". :|

    I want to get a sticker for my Vespa but at the same time I don't want to ruin the body or paint on her. I might get some pride buttons for my schoolbag, though.

    My "gayest" trait is I adore the color orange, and I'm a semi masculine looking guy, who does a 180 from "quiet type" to "hyper kid" when I am wearing orange. Orange is my rainbow.

    I have a rainbow SS button. No, I'm not lying for shock value. This is my favorite accessory. It's quite fun to talk to strangers while wearing it.

    I also have a rainbow hakenkreuz but I don't like it as much as the SS button.

    I made a bracelet with the pansexual flag colors, but I don't think many people notice. I also have a pansexual flag keychain that says "Keep calm and just love" on it. Two people that didn't know what it was saw it. I used it to come out to one person explaining what it was and the other person just assumed it was a peace symbol kind of thing.

    ---------- Post added 21st Feb 2013 at 02:23 AM ----------

    The keychain is on my lanyard which I wear on my neck all the time. I kind of have it there so people ask about it. I don't mind. I like explaining it.
