Was reminded of this image again today:
"I don't wear 🏳️🌈 [queer pride] items to tell you who's in my bed. I wear them so the family across the street knows they are safe. So the couple in the restaurant know they aren't alone. So the boy who sees me notice him looking at dresses knows I won't judge. I wear because you make them hide."
Ever since seeing this, I have been wearing progressive pride buttons on each of my jackets and coats (and a cap).

Exactly the reason why I got a rainbow shoelace tied to my backpack. My shopping bag is also in rainbow colors. I've got my backpack always with me so I show it every day. The rainbow shopping bag (with a dancing Snoopy on it) is a good way to get ppl to smile that have been scared of me (big, heavy, always dressed in black with a lot of Black Metal Merch) instantly. I just have to take it out of my backpack to see smiling instead of scared faces and I love it!
