I'm old and out of touch. I bought asexual branded shoelaces because I thought they were nice colours. My daughter laughed at me.

To be fair, they are nice colors
I wonder if there's some correlation with pride flags and who they represent. I adore the ace colors and fall in that spectrum so I've always wondered if it was like that for others too.
If that even makes any sense.
I will say, I am more partial to the bi colors than pan and that's one reason I ID as it despite maybe more closely aligning with pan.
Also relatively few people outside of the LGBT community know the bi colors. Which means I can wear them somewhere on me for people to see. So it's like a secret code to other agenda members without outting myself in this small conservative town.
agenda members
I absolutely love it when a community co-opts a term that's supposed to be denigrating and squelches the offensiveness by using it to refer to themselves. It's like the linguistic version of pulling off a glove one finger at a time and then smacking the shit out of the people calling you names.
Granted "the LGBT agenda" is less an insult and more of a dogwhistle for bigots, but I still think what you did there is neat.
This reminds me of when I wore trans pride socks and my mom thought that they were just regular stripy socks and she said "I used to wear socks like that when I was your age" and my sister and I were so confused lmao.
I'm a fabric geek, I don't really care about colour I'm going for plane and shape. At one point I found out about dazzle camouflage from WW1. I started using it as a motif in everything I made. Two easy examples-
I laughed and laughed when I found out black and white stripes was the hetero flag. I got that right anyway 🤣
"Nowadays you can't tell" looking left.... you gonna come out already or not?
OP: THEY are so oblivious.
Sounds quite close minded. I know plenty cis people who have worn pride clothing. That's just a support merch.
I mean, wearing a Volvo t-shirt doesn't make me a Volvo employee.
According to my research on the internet wearing the male symbol makes you a femboy
Or Austin Powers
Yeah, baby; groovy.
Throw Me a Frickin' Bone Here!
Sounds like an upgrade to me
Wearing a Volvo pride shirt?
Just put this quote from the movie Crazy People on a shirt and you’re golden
Don't kink shame.
It doesn't, but I'm willing to bet most people that wear Volvo t-shirts work for Volvo.
I’m willing to bet most people wearing car shirts are car nerds and not employees of said company.
I used to work for Volvo Trucks and my first instinct here was to tell you that most employees wear the logo but they do also hand out merch to customers, so you might be on to something!
If we were talking about Ferrari I'd agree, I'm not so sure about Volvo, speaking as a car nerd who drives a Volvo.
I know the point is more about being passing, but imo the goal should be for all people to simply appear to be people. No boxes, no labels, just people who are respected as citizens, as humans

For peace of the Kingdom!
