I have observed some Liberals are very uncomfortable with Christians (or even non-Christians for that matter) who are more conservaitve than they are themselves.

As a Liberal:

1. Do you feel anger or a rightous indignation when around those with a more conservative lifestyle?
No. I'm puzzled sometimes, but not angry or indignant. And usually just accept it as their way, their belief, life goes on.

They *would* kind of stand out... But I can't imagine just what they're wearing would be distracting or irritating.

Absolutely not, never.

I just live my life. I don't flaunt my liberties, but I won't wear a dress unless I really have some strange desire to (and I don't OWN any skirts or dresses anymore..it'd be quite an occasion for me to wear one).

I'm here. I dress modestly. I do wear jewelry, sometimes. And makeup, but most don't really notice I'm wearing it even if they're looking for it.

Thank you for your honesty. You have a sweet spirit.
