    I'm thinking about wearing jewelry that's blue, pink and purple (bi symbolization). Does anyone have any advice on how I should do this or how to respond if someone's suspicious (I haven't come out to everyone and don't plan on it at the moment). Thanks for reading, God bless.

    There's only a handful of people who would even associate those colours with sexuality right off the bat, and I'm guessing basically ALL of them are deep into the whole LGBT thing, so I don't imagine you'll get a lot of bad reactions for it...

    It's not THAT obvious, so I wouldn't worry too much.

    Do you want them to know that it's bi related? If you do try explaining how it represents being open to love from any gender.

    But I seriously doubt anyone would connect the pieces confidently enough to confront you.

    I think most of the people that would know the meaning of those colors would be bi' themselves. If it was something subtle I don't think anyone would comment.

    I had no idea that was a bi symbol and I am bi, so you should probably be just fine

    I actually just figured out that it was the symbol for bisexual a few month ago. And again, it's much, MUCH more subtle than the normal LGBT symbols because people don't automatically associate those colors with sexuality. I'd doubt most people would even think about it.

    I think wearing jewelry would be more of a giveaway than those colors, but you are a girl so you don't even have to worry about that. :slight_smile:

    I must agree. I'm certain the only ones that will know the meaning of that color combination will be people who are bi (or closely related).
