I’m pretty out as queer, but my appearance don’t show it at all because I have very strong opinions on what I like to wear and pride merch usually doesn’t fit it. This post is making me consider changing my mind on this—albeit in the form of cute lapel pins, not an entire wardrobe shift lol. Just because acquaintances+ know I’m safe doesn’t mean a random stranger knows that. And even one random passerby who’s clearly declaring themselves safe can make this stranger feel better and more accepted than if that passerby was yet another “safe or not? Can’t tell” person.
