    I have no problem with wearing pink at any time. Even though I don’t hunt, I do hike and often share the trail with hunters. I’d still prefer orange simply because I’m mildly red-green colorblind, and I can see orange more easily than pink.

      I’m also colorblind.

      In university I used to wear what I thought was a dark blue oxford shirt until someone said “wow, it’s really brave of you to wear that shirt”, which is when I learned it was a strong purple.

      I was mortified because growing up I got called gay (which was very much an insult at the time) and made fun of a lot.

      I didn’t wear it for a while after, but eventually I got over it and the girls seemed to like it, I got asked out by a number of them over the lifetime of that shirt. I put on weight and it got pit stains and I had to throw it away.

      Nobody ever made fun of me forwearing that shirt, at least not to my face.
