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.
