    If we're all so pro gay marriage and liberal about being gay how often do you see a gay couple holding hands or kissing in your town or village?

    I saw two girls (I wouldn't say older than 20) walking down the street holding hands today. You would see PDA's with gay couples or those just walking with their partner every now and then in my town.

    Cause they are in the minority in comparison to normal couples and feel awkward or shamed I suppose.

    It seems to be gay people who are making a big issue of being gay.

    Don't want to see any gay men shifting on the street to be honest. Like wise I don't want to see any straight couple shifting on the street.

    Does watching Neighbours and pretending I live there count? If so then yes I see a gay couple kiss and be affectionate most days.

    Absolutely. Day in day out it's just the same BS said over and over again in a slightly different way. Surely it has been discussed 100 times over at this stage.

    I'd say its because even with all the liberation gay people are pretty much aware that they may become targets for intolerant arseholes. As you mentioned towns and villages rather than cities you can add there the lack of anonymity and probably lower tolerance as well.

    i had gay mates growing up (in the 90's) and it breaks my heart that they didn't get the "proud to be in a relationship" walk round the place or to shift the faces off each other on a park bench
    why do people care about seeing two men or women kissing
    i'm not attracted to loads of people (ugly, wrong genatalia, french) but if two of those people are kissing it don't bother me

    I do both in public. People stare and mutter. But then again I have had a lot of people actually shout out support such as "fair play to you two" and "that's lovely to see".

    I don't particularly care weather people want to see it or not or even agree with it. I'm not doing it for attention or for a reaction, I do it because it feels right.

    I don't think there's really much to discuss.

    All part of furthering the gay agenda, trying to project their own lifestyle choices onto others. Like the gay pride parades and such, all for the "look at us, aren't we wonderful" factor. Just for notice really.
