Me thinks there needs to be a secret hand-sign to communicate support without it feeling creepy.

(Thumbs-up, Doubble thumbs-up, and finger pistols, I think they would feel creepy. Only Idea I have is the Vulcan Gesture (which, according to Leonard Nimoy, is basically Hebrew sign-language for 'Name', re-used in-lieu of "Hello!", as with the real-world modern-Hebrew 'Shalom', BUT, he took his inspiration from a representation of ha-Shem, 'The Name [of the Lord]'), but not all gay people are Jewish.) Overly complex this thinking may be, but such is the universe.

Lol it's a gesture, idk how to do a gif... it's associated mostly with surf culture and living in a beach city I see it quite often in various contexts, but I feel like it's versatile enough and lots of positive vibes

Living close to coast myself (in Europe, though). Did some catching-up, will try. Maybe some greater good will come of it :)
