    I want a way to signal to people, sorry I’m freaking weird and apologies in advance for my awkwardness.

    I’ve always loved the infinity symbol, got it engraved on a ring for my partner over a decade ago.

    I also love badges.

    Considering finding an enamel rainbow infinity badge online - and if someone mistakes me as queer, I don’t mind, I’m an ally and a bit bi anyway.

    Bigots get way too hung up on symbols.

    I like to think of symbols as positive things - either covert ways to communicate with like minded people in an unfortunately negative environment, or ways to show pride in something if the symbol is widely recognised.

    When that pride is something includes infringement on the rights of others, then we have a problem.

    Otherwise, yay, go wild.

    Yes, officer, I’ve had a few drinks - why do you ask?

      I think a lot of the bigots out there with a religious background have been conditioned to put a LOT into simple symbols.
