IMO the unhealthy obsession some people have with other peoples sex lives says a lot more about them that about the individuals they are so obsessed with.

friend was a gay man, who hired on the same day I did. He'd laugh if he heard me describe him as "a gay man." I never used the term behind his back or when he was
in my presence. When he got married to David, we went to the wedding. There were
as many straights at the wedding as perverts(I'm allowing myself one, I've been good
for at least 24 years). It took a huge effort for me to respond to this thread, because
the topic is such a bore. So why did I cave? I haven't said pervert in a long time. Feels really good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There, I'm over it.

I think it's the FLAUNTING that turns people off...some of it is " over the top ", and only offensive in the bad taste it exemplifies rather than the actual issue of homosexuality...

I kinda agree with you although I wouldn't necessarly use the word "flaunting" .... I'd go with "overt" maybe.suzy1124 wrote:One's sexual predilection, shouldn't even be an issue...

But it's not that long ago that displays of affection (known as carrying on!) by heterosexual couples was frowned upon & very much discouraged in public. I know of pubs where hetero couples were told in no uncertain terms that "there will be none of that kind of thing" here & if they didn't desist were even told to leave (not The Smugglers where the landlord is VERY broadminded)!
Personally I think jealousy has a lot to do with it or the cesspit that is the puritanical mind.

Certain standards of public decorum still do exist believe it or not ,ergo the phrase : " you two need to get a room "..
Not the Liberal segment of society turning out Pornographic Hollywood trash like the** movie we both disliked, talk about a CESSPIT!... but hey it's a FREE country...
** " The Wolf of Wall St. )...........shame on you Martin Scorcese, perhaps you should consider RETIRING...
