Hypocracy

[Toppo]

I say if straight people make public displays of affection in the open, then gay people should be able to too. Holding hands, a peck on the cheek, or a kiss on the mouth. That ought to be tolerated and possible. Showing displays of lust in public, be they gay or straight, is likely to pass for lewdness or whatever laws happen to exist in your country. If it's not forbidden or provided for by the law, then surely, it ought to be possible. This said, I'm not proclaiming that all laws are fair and just. Just saying that if no law forbids public kissing, then it ought to go for anyone. Unfortunately some very antiquated laws still exist even if they are never or not often applied... But the fact that they exist as laws can always give power to those with a vested interest in having them enforced. That is why it's best if the laws are up to date with what's acceptable socially.

True. I agree with you. What's good for the goose should be good with the gander too. Unfortunately we don't live in the perfect world where people aren't influenced by outdated or antiquated cultural norms. Personally myself I dont like seeing straight couples publicly displaying acts of affection, but dont bat an eyelid when I see a gay couple do it. That may seem like an odd perception to some, but I suppose that's how I've culturally developed and how I perceive my perfect world to be.
