Hi fellas.
I sat in the train the other day, and a cute guy sat down on a seat opposite of mine. We talked a bit, but not much. He looked like he could be gay, but I wasn't sure. He seemed a bit interested, but none of us managed to really break the ice. I never learned his name or anything, so I can't even look him up on facebook.
That's when I realized how much it irritates me that it's so difficult to dicern the sexuality of a person - especially since I'm not much for feminine guys. Pretty much the own way to get dates with guys, without taking a big risk of an embarrasing situation, offending someone, or plain out getting a beating is either going to gay bars, which usually results in one night stands rather than dates or relationships, or netdating, which I don't really care much for.
That made me wonder how I could make my sexuality visible, without getting harrased by every other person that walks by me.
Wearing some kind of gay/bi jewelry is pretty much out of the question, as I really don't like wearing jewelry.
That's when I thought about wearing a pin/button on a piece of clothing or a bag or something. But then again, it seems mostly young Emo's do that. Which I'm not.
Coincidentially, though, a regular button fell of my jacket the other day, and I've lost it. So I thought I'd get a button/pin in the colours of the bi flag about the same size of one of the regular buttons on my jacket, and put it in the spot where my button used to be, lined up with the rest of the buttons on my jacket.
I would be a clear symbol of orientation to those in the LGBT-community, and it might even looks kind of stylish, and more organized than just putting on pins and buttons on at random places on your clothing.
So, do you think I should go for it, do you think it will give any results, and do you think it might become a trend to catch on among bisexuals as a sign of recognition and orientation?
Sincerely,
Skafsgaard
