@"Faustin"‍ I've seen plenty of straight couples making out in public; why are they allowed to yet same sex couples cannot? It is homophobic if you think that same sex couples shouldn't be able to show affection to their partner in public. I can show affection to my girlfriend in public and no one bats an eye-lid - as no one should when it's a same sex couple too. There is no difference, just two individuals who love each other.

I mean the whole concept of gender is made up.

Gender has no meaning anymore, I can indentify as a toaster and that's socially acceptable?

There are two sexes, you are either male or female.

Sex and gender are separate concepts but ok

When did I say I didn't have a problem with straight couples showing affection in public? I, and the majority of people, don't wanna see you chewing your partners face off irrespective of their gender.

Hence why I said Gender can be anything whilst Sex is binary but ok

Well then, unfortunately since we are lucky enough to live in a country that gives us freedom; we are able (to an extent) to do things that we want to do. If someone wants to make out in public, ofcourse that is something some may want to see. But if you find something so small that offensive instead of just moving on with your own life then maybe you have problems yourself.

Ah sorry I misread. About the toaster remark, it's considered rude unless you genuinely believe that, to some it can be considered belittling or mocking.

How is someone preferring to be referred to by a different pronoun "cramming" anything down your throat.

I saw someone get called Homophobic because they asked a gay couple to stop making out in public. I've noticed members of the LGBT think that it's automatically homophobic when anyone asks them to not show affection to their LGBT partner in public. It's not homophobia, it's just most people dont want to see PDA from anyone.

I can quite happily say that there is a 80%+ chance that if it was a hetero couple nothing would of been said. No one wants to see PDA from anyone in public but a same sex couple is more likely to be heckled about it.

Edit: autocorrect 🙄

We do live in a free country, but people wouldn't mind seeing a straight couple make out in the street because that's more common. I'm not saying that gay or lesbian people cant make out with their significant other because they can, it's just weird and uncomfortable for a large percentage of the public to look at a pair of gay people making out. If I went shops and I saw a straight couple make out I wouldn't mind because it's something I see on a daily, however a gay couple is completely different. It's not something I'm used to seeing, I guess it could be just the area I live in but gay people here are not very open about it like in other towns or cities. People aren't used to it, that doesn't meant that they are against it, it just means that it weird them out as it's something that never occurred to them that would happen.

And that is the problem. The reason gay couples don't kiss in public is because I think it's around 2/3 don't feel safe in fear of discrimination or harrasment. 


I hear people all the time people saying two lesbians making out that's fine because it's 'hot' or 'sexy' but as soon as it becomes two gays that is totally flipped and is no longer acceptable.

I forgot, the heterosexual white male has it so easy. They haven't been oppressed because of who they love or the colour of their skin. They haven't been murdered for loving the opposite sex. 

The heterosexual white male has it the easiest. I'm White do I have that easy? No. Why? Because I'm Gay. Check your white privelliage.

Yes that is offensive. Not all lives matter when the people of colour are still being discriminated against and killed.
