I am going to a music festival one day this weekend. How can I advertise that I am a lesbian? Should I wear a polo shirt? Something with a rainbow on it? No bra?
Why would you advertise it? If you were straight, would you advertise that? Do you wear a t-shirt that says, "Ask me about my maniacal love of pizza?" assuming you had a maniacal love of pizza? How is that behavior "pride" when homosexuals do it, but "sexual harassment" when straight folks do it?
Maybe just a
touch of discretion and decorum are in order, instead.
EDIT TO ADD: Okay, okay, maybe that was me expecting too much. So! If you really want to advertise your carpet cleaning services (Haw!) there are three ways to do it:
1. Put on 200 pounds, get a flat-top buzz cut, grow a "Mediterranean woman" mustache, then wear flannel and ride a Harley Davidson.
2. If you can't put on quite that much weight, get a short bowl cut, pencil in a faint unibrow, and go for the Bill Gates lookalike vibe.
3. If both of those fail, get a dog's-ass-ugly dykehawk in "Pride colors" and enough body jewelry to make MRI technicians in the neighboring county nervous.
Which ever of those 3 routes you take, don't neglect to tell whoever is in closest physical proximity to you about veganism, Marxism, or astrology at least once every 2.25 minutes.
