Some may disagree, but for me, it’s easier to be different when it’s obvious. There’s no decision to make about when to boldly state my position at the risk of being obnoxiously contradictory, and when to stay respectfully silent at the risk of appearing ashamed of my beliefs. When it’s obvious it’s up to the world around me to choose to comment or not. I also know what I’m getting myself into and can be prepared for the shocked reactions of those who haven’t had their imaginations opened up yet.
