    I can't see it been a problem only to the few who are intolerant of other expressing affection. Most people see it as a healthy relationship. I love see couples holding hands and enjoying the feeling that comes from it no matter what the sexuality is.

    It's sad that something as simple as holding you're partners hand even warrants questioning in this day and age.

    Be careful around people who look like this. But go for it do it :)

    I've seen it. It's the most natural thing to want to do with your partner and if I had a partner I know I would like to do likewise. Not sure that I'd have the balls to do it because of me being self conscious but I think most people would say FairPlay.

    Was out over the weekend and quite a few lads kissing in public. Dublin is changing, even heard from a friend that she saw two lads kissing in a night club in Galway. I'm not saying this as a kind of gee wizz shock horror. I'm saying we are finally growing up as a country and maybe the more of it that is seen the feicin better.

    I nearly have myself convinced I'd do it but I guess the bf would be a necessary component first!!!!

    I'd be careful if I were you. While most people would be ok with it there are still some narrow minded fools who might start a fight with you over it. It sounds terrible to say but it's not 100% safe for gays yet in Ireland. Wasn't there someone killed in the last year because someone realised that he was gay and he was beaten to death?

    Op I've never had an issue anywhere, other than your standard double takes- mostly since I started dressing a bit more masculine. But I do know lesbians ae less likely to have physical altercations with homophobes, so maybe that's part of it.

    But op, if all of us do it, it becomes normal. :)
