Possibly. Even if just to give them some privacy. But if I was engaged in something important at the time (e.g. eating my dinner, watching the match and/or drinking my pint) I wouldn't let it bother me.Andrewa said:Would you walk away if two gay people kissed/cuddled in front of you in public?
Andrewa said:Had a chat with my husband last night about the lesbian court case (where two lesbians took a bar owner to court because he had asked them to desist from kissing/cuddling in public). I was VERY surprised to find that my husband (normally tolerant and open minded) said he would walk out of a public place if a gay couple kissed in front of him. He also said that he expects most people feel exactly as he does. He believes gay people are entitled to do what they like in private, but he does NOT want to see them kiss or cuddle in public. I said I thought he was in the minority, and that most people nowadays really don't mind too much. He is strongly of the opinion that he is in the majority, and he suggested that I start a thread on it to see if he is in the majority. What do others think? Would you walk away if two gay people kissed/cuddled in front of you in public?
. I agree Sarah - it's just not really nice to witness if it gets out of hand no matter WHAT the sexual leanings of the couple are. Hubby, however, would walk away if they were gay, but not if they were hetero, and I find this very strange in this day and age. Also, the couple in question brought to the Judge's attention that on the same night there had been another group gyrating with a blow up doll, and yet nobody asked them to stop. I pointed this out to hubby, and he said he wouldn't object to the behaviour with the blow up doll!! I think I have to include by hubby is homophobic - which really comes as a great surprise to me. You learn something new every day!Sarah said:If a hetro couple where drooling all over each other every 10 seconds(i see alot of this in pubs and public transport) id get pretty peeved off and probally change my seating so their not in my eyeline or if i couldnt then id move venue's. Its not nice to see ANYONE mooching the face of someone else regardless of their sex or religion or anything else! Im all for young love but come on, there's a time and a place to get overtly passionate. This case in particular didnt say that the lesbian couple where explicit in their kissing or not but IMHO a peck on the lips hugging or whatever is acceptable for most people but just as long as people dont gat carried away,then its just not nice to see to anyone!!!
Is that a regionalised colloquialism? Never heard it before.casiopea said:2 people are pashing.

I suspect that his opinion is a majority one in general, but a minority one on AAM and in the Irish print and broadcast media.Andrewa said:. .He believes gay people are entitled to do what they like in private, but he does NOT want to see them kiss or cuddle in public.
