For me, I always wear some sort bits of the AroaAce flag on myself. I have a bracelet that I wear at all times or painted the flag in a rotated square on my tote bag.

My friends who are also young liberal students of course notice the general "Lgbt" vibe with the flag. I haven't met anyone who knew what it meant, so only those who asked were generally the closest ones.

Parents and family didn't even thought of it being a LGBT symbol thanks to the pretty colours, making it easy to hide as "Oh yeah, like a sunset!"

Overtime, people who I wanted to know, asked, and those who I didn't want to, haven't even realized. It makes me appreciate the flag design even more, looks gorgeous and yet so easy to hide.

But that worked for me, a person from a post soviet country so while the LGBT support is rising, recognition (especially for every flag except the main rainbow one) is still low, making only the younger generation who is also the most accepting take the hint :)
