    Well, there are limits. Holding hands, a little kiss, etc. is alright. But full out making sessions and dry humbling in public are gross - regardless of heterosexual or homosexual couples.

    I don't know if I'd even be able to hold hands with my significant other in public though. The stares people give homo couples... :frowning2:

    I don't mind showing affection in public but some take it too far. Like, holding hands and giving a little peck on the cheek or lips is okay. I just don't like when people are making out in public and basically groping each other like they are about to have a orgy! Keep that in the bedroom.

    No problem at all, But there are certain limits.
    Not only for gay couples but straight couples too.
    Things like holding hands a small kiss or hugging is completely fine, but if it's something like making out then not so much.

    I've never had a partner, but I don't have a problem with people who show affection in public.

    Might be odd, but I actually enjoy public displays of affection. I draw a line at groping or fully making out, but I enjoy holding hands and kisses and hugging.

    As others have said, holding hands or a small peck on the lips is fine. Making out or anything more is just, no. That's for both straight and gay couples :slight_smile: I'm fine with showing affection in public, just don't go overboard with it.

    People who don't like seeing it tend to think you should act like strangers though, and I am just not willing to do that.

    When I was totally in the closet, I used to be wildly uncomfortable with seeing it or, God forbid, actually doing it (including with my wife). Now, I hold my guy's hand in a restaurant or on the street, and kiss him in public without a second thought. In fact, it seems so natural that NOT showing him affection would make me uncomfortable.

    It's not for me. I mean, giving someone a hug to greet them, putting your arm around them for a moment, or something like that is fine. I do that. I don't have an issue with more intense affection where it's out of sight.

    What annoys me is when people pour it on TOO thick in public spaces, regardless of the composition of the couple ... or threesome ... or foursome!

    *This is a made up conversation, this never actually happened.*

    Me: *at the mall or something*
    Man and Woman: *holding hands and walking to a line*
    Me: *gets into same line*
    Woman: I love you.
    Man: I love you too.
    Man and Woman: *hug and do a little eskimo kiss*
    Me: Aww.
    Man and Woman: *start kissing*
    Me: *blinks a few times* Okay.
    Man and Woman: *continue*
    Me: Uh...Yeah..
    Man and Woman: *continue and you can see tongues*
    Me: How long are you two gonna be making out? We're in public.
    Man: *gets into Woman's bra*
    Me: Oh my god! Stop!
    Woman: *rubbing against him*
    Me: STOP! STOP! STOP!

    Guess I can't really vote in the poll at this time from the way the options are worded.

    This.

    I'm still flip floppy with this as well and am not too sure at this point. It's just part of those back and forth things on your mind I suppose. :-/

    I don't think I'd worry too much about what onlookers might think, but if I wouldn't do it in front of my parents then I wouldn't do it in public. Hand-holding, hugging, and small kisses are all good. Great, even. But anything beyond that doesn't feel natural to do with people watching as they pass by.

    Yes, I love it. Holding hands isn't really my thing though, but I love kissing.
