This is also good if you don't want people to know you're lesbian but just want them to think you are. Here's how to drop hints that you're lesbian.

3
Wear a plain thumb ring. Although it's subtle, thumb rings are worn by lesbian and queer people to signify their sexual orientation and relationship status. People might ask questions about your ring or compliment it (this is your chance to tell them you're LGBTQ).
4
Make a photo of a pride flag your wallpaper. You check your phone frequently, and when you take it out, other people are likely to notice your wallpaper.

Discuss the people or girls who appeal to you. If you want to let others know how you feel about your sexual identity without outright proclaiming it, you may surely work some discreet hints into conversation. Maybe you want your best friend to know you're a lesbian. "Did you see that girl in Biology class sitting next to me?" "Wow, I could get lost in those stunning eyes!"
