I'm actually considering getting a rainbow flag tattoo in solidarity.

Burn me if you dare.

Just a friendly suggestion... add the word "ally" to it or you may get a lot of unsolicited propositions.

I would but I feel it would ruin the aesthetic.

Plus I don't want people to think I'm straight right off the bat. Seems counterproductive. I want people to think I'm gay so they treat me the way they would treat a gay person.

So I can fuck them up for being homophobic.

If you hang out with any LGBT+ people, the bigots always assume you are LGBT+, in case you didn't know. Ally's get treated just as bad. Everything about the way bigots work is a "guilty by association" mindset.

Oh I'm aware. It's why I've become so aggressive against homophobes.

Too many of my friends have dealt with the bigotry and I'm not having it anymore.

I currently get zero propositions. I could use the ego boost.

I'm sure you're attractive. You have a winning online presence.

I was mainly posting to make my insecurities into a funny. That is still gratifying to read. Thank you. I appreciate that there are people here who are just happy to be kind to others. We all need it sometimes.
