This may not be the right place for this discussion ( I apologize if it is!) , but as a cis hetero male , is it supporting the LGBTQIA+ and being an ally wearing LGBTQ branded clothes ? Or am I being the problem ? I want to do what I can to support and be an ally 😅. Thanks!
I'm a cis gay male, and I wear three pro-trans shirts on rotation. It's items that say things like "trans rights are human rights," so it's suitable for an ally.
If you just straight up wear the colors, I doubt anyone would be offended but might think you are LGBT2QIA
I don't think anyone would take offense to that. However, some guys may think it's an indicator that you're gay. Which can lead to them talking more candidly to you about LGBT issues, or even hitting on you. It starts to be an issue when you present as gay and don't correct people.

Oh dude you are fine, no sweat at all. Regardless of orientation, you can wear whatever you want. That's the beauty of equality, baby!
