Hey Robert,

I don't think it's really necessary for you to show that you're gay.  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.
