If not, then I don't mean to imply anything about you.
If it's a chaste kiss on the check, I'm ok with it as long as it's kept rated "G". Anything else requires a motel room.

Do you have kids or nephews/nieces? Do you want them to stumble upon a couple (hetero or homosexual) french kissing or engaging in any other ranching behavior?

Why is this thread turning into a discussion on acceptable levels of PDA? This was a quick kiss and the news show I saw (some local station in SLC) set up cameras and showed footage of plenty of heterosexual couples kissing each other.

The ONLY reason one finds same-sex affection "gross" or uncomfortable is because you've been taught that. In some cultures two men will kiss on the mouth as friends and or family.

Yeah, well, we have to put up with watching men and women "slogging" a lot more than you have to put up with two men doing it. You'll live.

Actually, I would be happy if my nephew stumbled across two people kissing passionately, no matter what their sexuality might be. I think it's wonderful to see two people who are comfortable showing affection for each other in public. I don't understand why some people are so against it.

Puritanism is alive and well in America, I guess.

That was just plain friggin WRONG. You should not go to a religious place and cause a disturbance. They ought to have some respect. While I do not think they should be arrested for it, their mothers ought to teach them some respect for others. And the religious people need to stay away from the gays and leave them alone too.

Gee, I hope no one is scarred for life. (I take it you were behind them, and not looking into their vehicle)

Any type of EXCESSIVE PDA should be discouraged, no matter who's doing it, unless its staged like this event was.

Not about kissing habits.

No difference at all.

(backing away....)

Precisely. Love is love. There truly is no difference.

No need to feel uncomfortable and get upset. Next time, just make a joke about it. Live and let live.
