I don't exactly try to make it visible, I just wear what I'm comfortable in. Jeans and T-shirts are what I like, I don't like wearing skirts or dresses. It's apparently not enough hints though...I'm not up for wearing anything that'll give much more obvious hints to my sexuality since I'm not out yet...but I'll get there eventually.

Invisible. It's unknown until someone asks (and even then, I'll only say it in appropriate situations).

I just live my life. Even with nothing to clearly identify me as non-heterosexual (I do not wear rainbow anything, for example) I would still be accused of being gay due to my femininity. So I just do what I want and straight people can deal with it.

Sometimes I will cross dress, or not cross dress but wear make up, or nail polish or something, and my partner and I kiss in public and hold hands (we're both male)...

I wear a lanyard for my school ID every day that has a pin with rainbow beads on it.

Most people don't guess it. The thing that usually gives me away is I'm too open to hugs from females.

I don't try to outright hide my sexuality, but I just wear what I like which is pretty traditional, and no one has ever even asked me about it... So I guess my orientation is pretty well hidden. I must have 'gaydar' scramblers built in. xd

I guess you could see my bisexuality if you were looking for it, but most people aren't.
I've told people that I'm madly in love women like Kate Winslet or Lana Del Rey, in addition to men like Leonardo DiCaprio or Benedict Cumberbatch. I'm not sure if anything crossed their minds when I've said it.
I don't really "act" bi, I just act like myself.

I've got a rainbow pin on my messenger bag. Though it sits under the main flap so most people don't typically see it. I do tend to look kind of androgynous or masculine and like a lot of typically male things, so I think people end up making assumptions because of that. But I tend to avoid making definitive statements or discussing my sexuality/crushes around people I don't really know well since I live in a generally conservative area. It's part of the reason why my rainbow pin stays under the flap of my bag instead of on top.

Little Heir Apparent
I'm curious about you all, partly because I am considering the length at which I would display my bisexuality to the world. I don't feel comfortable with anything beyond a door flag (just a little rainbow flag taped up), a rainbow ribbon on my lanyard, and now I'm considering an accessory of sorts to symbolize my bisexuality.

I want to be visible because I feel that I'm ready for it. But, I also don't feel comfortable treading much further than what I've done so far, partly because I don't know how I'd handle accusations of not being a real bisexual. I have a boyfriend, which kinda erases my bisexuality in public. sweatdrop Or worse, my relationship could be seen as a means to hide behind heterosexual privilege, which sucks.

What do you all do?
I do nothing for my visibility. I'm pretty out my family knows, most of my friends know and the ones who don't just don't know because it never has come up. I don't really feel the need to broadcast when I was younger I had a crap ton of rainbow stuff but I just gave it all to good wills and thrift shops awhile ago partly because it didn't fit partly because I'm past that phase of my life. Only thing I kept was a rainbow belt my mother hand made for me before my first pride parade. I don't wear it but it has a buttload of sentimental value.

Not very visible. Whenever I talk about boys people kinda freak out because they're not used to it, haha.

It even to the extent that sometimes people forget I'm gay (subconsciously, kinda).

Ex. There's two (confirmed) non-straight people in my Show Choir group. I came out before the other guy, but for whatever reason people skip over me and think he's the first and only gay guy in our generation of show choir.

I just wear whatever I want ...

I wouldn't say it's visible. Unless the music is playing, of course. My hips go nuts on a night out. Other than that - it's usually a big surprise.

This is what stereotypes do with perception. It's a shame, really.

Semi-visible. I was more comfortable being visible at college, because of the more open and liberal atmosphere of the area I was in. However, I moved home to get a job, and the area is much more close-minded and judgmental.
I guess my Facebook might be semi-obvious about it, since I share articles and information from time to time.
Also, people seem to kind of assume I'm gay anyways because of how I dress (at times) and how I wear my hair. It's stereotyping, even if it's a correct assumption.

I'm super out and open but I don't do anything to draw attention to myself like wear rainbows out.
I'm pretty girly. I wear dresses on a regular basis. But I also have tattoos and piercings. The placements I guess are "stereotypical". But other than that, I wear what I want.

I don't hide it, but I certainly don't like giving out any details of my persona to people I meet. if they ask or ask about realtionships, I tell them.

I used to wear a rainbow industrial piercing, but that's about it, well maybe a bracelet or two,
