If you go in a store and you notice that a guy or girl is wearing a pride bracelet, what comes to mind about him or her?

I’m thinking about getting one just to support since I’m gay anyway, but I’m Christian and I’m not sure what it would say about me.

I would assume they have a heart for social outcasts and want to support them in the ways they believe they can. I would not assume they are homosexual or trans or bisexual because I believe percentage wise, the odds are heterosexual person is wearing the bracelet are higher than the odds that somebody in the LGBT community is wearing the bracelet. I do not believe the LGBT lifestyle is recommended by many religious traditions but I believe it is important to respect and be nice to those who think and live differently from you, even if you do not favour their personal choices in life and do not find their lifestyle attractive to your personal religious tradition. I believe God still loves them as God loves all people, but he might have a different vision for what the ideal lifestyle is that he wants us to choose.

Very well said, thank you. So are you also saying I don’t have to tell someone I’m gay if they ask?

[jennifer_bloom]

You don't have to tell them unless you are dating them.

[Asker]

That makes sense.

Even though I support the movement I doubt I would even notice.

[Shiprex]

Good for them I think. One thing I noticed that I wasn't sure about what the fire station near where I live had a pride flag up instead of the national or local region flag above the station which I felt was out of order because the very nature of that flag doesn't include the commonest group within society, it's ONLY about minorities and when you post that on a fire station the message is THESE are who we represent and the "normies" can fuck off.
It's getting kinda toxic if you ask me.

[Asker]

Yeah, that’s on the extreme side. I’m just looking for a very subtle way to express who I am without making a big deal out of it.

[AviatorTom]

First off, I probably wouldn't notice someone wearing a pride bracelet, but if I did, I would probably think that they are on the left side of the political spectrum.

[Asker]

That’s understandable, but believe it or not I’m a die hard republican.

[AviatorTom]

Republicans cover most of the political spectrum. Not all Republicans are rightists.

[AI Opinion]

Wearing a pride bracelet can be a meaningful way to show support and express your identity. It often symbolizes acceptance, equality, and pride, reflecting that you embrace diversity and inclusion. Being a Christian and wearing such a bracelet can also communicate that you believe in love and acceptance for all. It's a personal choice, and it’s about what it means to you and your values. 🌈

Says you're an empathetic, cosmopolitan human.

I live in a real moonbat state so nothing surprises me

[EmmaMary]

Absolutely nothing at all.

[Fireguy17]

Im clueless what a pride bracelet even is.

[Asker]

It celebrates or supports a person who is gay, bi, etc.

[Fireguy17]

I kind of thought that, but i didn't want to presume.

They're human.
