A confession, for discussion.

About a year ago my wife and I went down south to visit some relatives. We visited a zoo because we hadn't been to one for a while. While waiting in line to buy lunch, the young couple ahead of us began to kiss each other passionately. Then it got a little more passionate. You could clearly tell without looking directly that they had their tongues down each other's throats. Then the man began to massage the woman just right below her breast while still kissing her passionately. An inch or two up and he would have held her breast in his hand right in public. They continued this until it was their turn to order hot dogs and whatnot.There were plenty of kids around. Plenty of families, aunts, uncles, etc. I looked around and nobody seemed to mind.Speaking as a straight man, I think two people kissing each other and going at it can sometimes be gross no matter whether it's a gay or straight thing. That said, some of the most beautiful scenes of public show of affection I've seen have been between people of the same sex, and some of the most tasteless scenes I've seen have been between people of opposite sex.

If I didn't know any better, I'd say you have a mental disorder. There is nothing wrong with public show of affection. It certainly does not harm anyone. What's more, WE ALL DO THE SAME THING AT SOME POINT IN OUR LIVES!!!I used to be uncomfortable when other people do things like kissing and whatnot in public. But then I gradually realized that what they decide to do has absolutely nothing to do with me. Sure, I'm not going to stare at them, but I'm not going to go out of my way to avoid them either.If there really is a god then the most important and beautiful gift he gave us is human affection, whether it's gay or straight. With all that I said above, I normally just fast forward through any kind of sex scene in movies. Between that lame Show Girl movie and the battle scenes of Saving Private Ryan, I'd rather watch the battle scenes over and over a kazillion times than having to watch Show Girl.

Recently, we watched a couple gay themed movies on tv. One was The Twilight of the Golds and the other was Kiss Me, Guido. I highly recommend both movies to you guys. Nothing eekie, I promise. They are both very well done films about the lives of gay men and their families.

No, it is not unusual here in America. It's just that there is a double standard where straight couples can almost have sex right out in public and nobody would mind but if a gay couple even hold hands then they'd be told to "cover up".

Are you saying that god's order for the israelites to exterminate the various civilizations of canaan were not acts of human sacrifice?

I'm sorry that this is a little off topic, but I couldn't stop laughing after I read this article. Here it is. Italian wins gay driving ban case

quote:

---

An Italian court has ordered the government to pay 100,000 euros (79,919) to a man who had to retake his driving test because he was gay.

​

Danilo Giuffrida, now 26, told doctors he was homosexual during a medical examination for military service.

​

The information was passed to the defence and transport ministries.

​

Mr Giuffrida was told to repeat his driving test or have his licence suspended because of his "sexual identity disturbance".

​

Mr Giuffrida passed his test for the second time but his licence was renewed for just one year rather than the usual 10 years because of his homosexuality.

​

A court in Catania, Sicily, ordered the ministries to pay damages on the basis that Mr Giuffrida's constitutional rights had been breached and that homosexuality could not be considered a "mental illness".

​

The judge said the actions of the ministries showed "evident sexual discrimination".

​

Mr Giuffrida welcomed the sentence as "a step forwards for civil rights."

Hahahahaha. I've known that gay people can't kiss. But now, apparently they can't drive either.

What the hell is p.d.a.s?
