Are there ways that you are able to signal queerness?

People keep assuming my partner and I are two straight women, and it's just awkward sometimes. I know my partner would like if people saw us as a visibly queer couple, so I was hoping for tips.

Usually I try to engage in "PDA" like holding hands or kissing in public, but even that doesn't seem to always work (I have done this and had a waiter still assume we're relatives rather than partners).

Do you want to signal to other queers or everyone? For other queers there's the obvious - carabiners, etc. typical lesbian fare.

For everyone, I would have said being openly affectionate but you already tried that 😅
