  • I’ve had something I’ve been curious about, and I’m hoping an appropriate place to ask about.I’m a straight cis guy that grew up in a very conservative Christian house, and I’ve come a long way from who I was 10yrs ago. I’d consider myself an ally even though I don’t have any LGBTQ friends or acquaintances (not by choice, I just don’t get out much). I’d like a way to signal that I am a safe person, but am afraid of insulting people if I accidentally give the wrong vibe. I also dont want anything too overt to avoided the ire of my family. Im a big bald white guy with a beard, and I’m told I have resting angry face. I’ve noticed LGBTQ presenting folks that seem to get uncomfortable around me.

    Is there a way I can signal that I’m a safe person without being too overt or sending the wrong message?
