So I need to know of shops where I can buy such things, I'm useless at making things so can't make my own!By the way I live in Birmingham, UK.Thanks a lot!

 Sweety Pie, you stole my answer! At Gay Pride Parades they might even sell Gay Pride Jewelry, or perhaps you could meet and talk to people who would know of a store that sells it.
Most of the gay bars I've visited have a directory of services for gays and lesbians. They have listings of stores, bars, and other things for gays and lesbians.

 Theres lots of rainbowy things in Claires Accessories and places like that (I know its not the coolest shop)
Also, im sure when the Gay Pride Parade is in town they give out rainbow badges, at least I got given one, im not gay but it was sweet :)
If I were you id just check in accesory shops and vintage shops, good luck!

hey, i live in machester and we have a shop here called afflecks palace. . . its an alternative shop where they sell gothic/emo/punk kinda colthing etc this kind of shop selling badges, braclets, necklaces etc all of which have the symbols on im pretty sure that the shops in afflecks have websites you can look ati know you mentioned not buying on the internet, but most badges/pins etc get sent in blank packaging, or, get to the post first lol! i can understand you dont want to have to tell everyone, but tbh, im not a lesbian and i have those types of badges on my bag. i also live right near the gay village in manchester, and ill be honest, iv never seen a lesbian, or gay person, displaying a piece of jewellery that hints about their sexuality. just be yourself, you dont need to wear a badge for people to know, get down to the gay clubs etc and your friends will soon realise, plus you'll make lots of new friends too!though a few more points on the jewellery/badges, claires accessories have funky badges you could look at, or buy a rainbow coloured beaded braclet or something! good luck chuck xxx

You could order online and just get it posted discretely. I mean, posted in a plain envelope. I'm sure the retailer wouldn't mind doing that for you.A quick search came up with this online (and high street store) based in Birmingham: http://www.prowlerdirect.co.uk/default-mainmenu-2-mptid-6-ptid-271-detail-42653.htm

 You haven't truly come out if your family hasn't been told. You've only "selectively come out". Once you've told them your parent can order something online and you can pay him/her back. Speaking of back, hiding your sexually behind your parents' back will only be temporary, they will find out.
