am i being hypocritical?

You've been socially conditioned to feel that way.

The important thing is that you recognise that these feelings are not something to be proud of.

My guess is that you'll get over this at some point.

 

I don't think so.

Are you sure you just don't like public displays of affection? When I see a couple kissing in public, I just think "get a room". If you just don't like public displays of affection the I'd wouldn't worry.

"when i see homosexuals being affectionate i get a weird feeling. it feels, alien to me. almost like i shouldnt be seeing it. like it isnt right or something."

As Corporal Sparks said, society generally looks down on that and you've been brought up to think it's abnormal but, in time you won't feel arkward about it.

 

I agree with DarkClarity. I extremely dislike public displays of emotion past holding hands. However, this is personal preference and each person has their own views on what should be done and where it should be done.

For example, I don't believe that people should kiss in public unless it's a small peck to say goodbye. Other than that, to quote him, "get a room."

 

I guess it depends. Let's say you were watching a TV show or a movie, and it depicted a gay couple being affectionate, but in private. I don't mean a sex scene. Say a gay couple giving a hug and kiss in their kitchen or living room before one heads off to work. Any problem there?

If not, then I'm assuming the issue is less the "gays being affectionate" and more the "public" aspect. You may simply be uncomfortable with public displays of affection. And if you feel more that way with gay couples, yes, it might be in part because you're closeted. You might see a gay PDA as something of an indictment against your relationship. "We don't have any trouble telling the world that this is my boy/girlfriend - why are you keeping yours under wraps?"

I think it's sometimes showing off how couples just show so much affection for each other in public, but that's just me.

I must admit, right now I'm in the same spot when it comes to gay couples. I don't like seeing it displayed in public, but naturally I want to get involved in such interactions. So perhaps we are hypocritical, but at the same time, just wanting to find the right balance between romance and public flauntations.

 

i don't think so im in the closet too, and sometimes it's just a wierd sensation i get altogether when thinking about the consept of being out and about, and when i see a gay couple, i feel awed/envious/wierded out all at the same time. it doesnt' make me a hypocrite i don't think thou because i've grown up in a society where it's uncommon to be openly gay and when you see something different like that, you're bound to do something of a double take. i hope that changes one day, thou

 

I don't think anyone should do it in public no matter if you are homosexual or heterosexual.
