Hiding your lifestyle?

I'm just really talking about holding hands, kissing.
All that stuff straight people do in public.

Am I to understand, then, Sharkie, that if you could find the right person to do it with (and who WOULD do it) you would display signs of affection in the street, in public with him? You're right. It shouldn't get people's knickers in a twist because after all, other people do it... However, until we feel comfortable that we're not going to get mugged or even just sneered at, it's not going to make it very easy for us. On the other hand, if they were more used to it happening, maybe they'd just have to learn to deal with it (and take no notice).
