I think the best way would be to just tell somebody if they asked you. Or if you felt close enough to them that you absolutely want them to know. I don't know where you live, but in most places showing any sign of homo- sexuality could bring trouble. I live in San Francisco, so basically nobody really notices ( I think they assume everybody is gay anyway!). When I lived in Tucson, Arizona, it was a definite *don't do*!! In general, I don't think that most straight people are into noticing symbols of homosexuality - other than the typical pinky ring, earring.... But now a days with punk in fashion, even straight people are dressing "gay". I personally don't bare any symbols of my lesbianism. I just go my merry way, and if somebody asks me, I tell them the truth. I sure would be interested in knowing why you feel you need to do this. Trish Millines (ihnp4!fortune!millines)
