Homosexuality makes me uncomfortable.
​
Last weekend was our village summer festival. On my walk back after leaving the kids and my wife to linger, I noticed a gay couple walking hand in hand towards me, and I smiled. It delighted me. Why? I think for the following reasons:
​
1) It would annoy others - my perverse streak
2) It was a public sign of intimacy and affection which made me feel good
3) It showed that I was a long way through getting over my social conditioning with regard to homosexuality
​
I get no pleasure from watching two blokes kiss (quite the opposute!), but I was genuinely moved when Ennis and Jack (Brokeback Mountain) met up again for the first time and passionately snogged.

And I think I might well do the same, especially here in Redneckville where they would be putting themselves in real physical danger by doing so.

Have to show you this clip from Top Gear, the immensely popular and not particularly politically correct BBC motoring programme... rather than hiring cars for a US Fly-Drive, the three presenters have bought cheap old cars instead, and are in the proces of driving them from Florida to New Orleans.
