		<description>Good thing I&#039;m 100% certain about very little then. Honestly, I might agree with your assessment. I think that some people from where I am from honestly do see same sex sexual attraction as, as you put it, &quot;some kind of joke [and see us as being] incapable of true love.&quot; I&#039;m not from the most progressive area. However, at least they are laughing instead of acting out with violence. Personally, I prefer being amusing to being in the hospital.</description>

		<description>Galefan2004 - to make sure I understand you - do you mean people where you live think same sex attraction is some kind of joke?  That we&#039;re incapable of true love or something like that?

One thing I&#039;ve learned over the years, the people that are 100% certain about everything have the least actual knowledge about anything!</description>

		<description>@&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-184572&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;alicia banks&lt;/a&gt;: I don&#039;t know about your public bathrooms, but the ones with graphite in my area have walls covered with &quot;will suck dick (date/time)&quot; and &quot;will suck dick just call (number)&quot;. Maybe that is because I&#039;m in a more rural area where the gay population has no real place to meet.</description>

		<description>revulsion should be felt equally for all pdas

if not, it is homohatred.

fyi,
ab

FOR THE STRAIGHT FOLKS WHO DON&#039;T MIND GAYS BUT WISH THEY WEREN&#039;T SO BLATANT 

by Pat Parker 

You know, some people got a lot of nerve. 

Sometimes I don&#039;t believe the things I see and hear. 

Have you met the woman who&#039;s shocked by two women kissing and, in the same breath, tells you she is pregnant? 

But gays, shouldn&#039;t be so blatant. 

Or this straight couple sits next to you in a movie and you can&#039;t hear the dialogue because of the sound effects? 

But gays shouldn&#039;t be so blatant. 

And the woman in your office who spends an entire lunch hour talking about her new bikini drawers and how much her husband likes them? 

But gays shouldn&#039;t be so blatant. 

Or the &quot;hip&quot; chick in your class rattling like a mile a minute, while you&#039;re trying to get stoned in the john, about the camping trip she took with her musician boyfriend? 

But gays shouldn&#039;t be so blatant. 

You go into a public bathroom and all over the walls there&#039;s &quot;John loves Mary&quot;, &quot;Janice digs Richard&quot;, &quot;Pepe loves Delores&quot;, etc., etc. 

But gays shouldn&#039;t be so blatant. 

Or you go to an amusement park and there&#039;s a tunnel of love with pictures of straights painted on the front and grinning couples are coming in and out? 

But gays shouldn&#039;t be so blatant. 

Fact is, blatant heterosexuals are all over the place. 

Supermarkets, movies, on your job, in church, in books, on television every day and night, every place--even in gay bars--and they want gay men and woman to go and hide in the closet.


So to you straight folks I say, &quot;Sure, I&#039;ll go if you go too. But, I&#039;m polite so, after you.&quot;</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not saying this comment sarcastically, really, but where do all you people live where no one has any problems with PDA especially when Gay guys are involved?  I personally almost never see any Gay guys kissing unless it is in a little town north of the metropolis where I live that is considered Gay friendly.  And the Gay pride fest is there.  So, either everyone here is super modest, or there are no Gays, or there is a lot of social pressure NOT to show PDA.  But I do see straight people holding hands and kissing all the time. 

Please note, I&#039;m not talking about extremem PDA:  groping, pawing etc.  just maybe sitting close, holding hands or kissing hello/good bye etc.</description>

		<description>And there are those of us - both gay and straight - who simply find &lt;i&gt;any&lt;/i&gt; PDA to be revolting. Maybe we were just raised right, or maybe people are free to have the opinion that sucking face in public is just trashy. Get a room, people!</description>

Gay people are surrounded by heterosexuals from day one and anti-gay prejudices are instilled in us from heterosexuals.  The marriage, the kids, the anti-gay bigotry was all apart of the heterosexual package for Larry Craig, Jim McGreevy, Ted Haggard et al.</description>

		<description>Being honest, I find all PDA (male/male, male/female, female/female) a tad on the revolting side when it goes to far. I shouldn&#039;t be offered a rare glimpse of your bedroom behavior in a public place just because you decided to show me.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not surprised that straights find two guys kissing repulsive, and it doesn&#039;t make them secretly gay. So tired of that ridiculous comeback. I think most of the revulsion comes from social upbringing, but there&#039;s probably a biological component as well.

Of course there is the obvious double standard of guys getting off on two girls making out, but that&#039;s really about the hetero male eventually getting in on the action himself. It has NOTHING to do with real lesbianism. The same logic applies to women who get off on seeing two guys go at it. She either imagines herself as one of the guys, or she wants in on it herself. It&#039;s all projection and fantasy.</description>

		<description>I think intimacy between men has been drummed out of us since we were children.  Mothers and fathers are known to actively discourage their sons from holding hands with other boys, for instance.  In general, male-male contact is stigmatized.  Girls, on the other hand, are allowed to hold hands with other girls and are actively encouraged to find other women physically pretty in the form of Barbie dolls etc etc.  

It&#039;s as if there is an active &quot;bisexualization&quot; of women from a young age.  Thus there is definitely a double standard in terms of how men and women are conditioned from a young age.

Perhaps the key to understanding the &quot;revulsion&quot; is in the double standard.  It suggests that upbringing is important.</description>

		<description>As per usual you address me with no interesting in trying to have a dialogue or understand my statement just to make catty comments. Actually I unlike you am an activist who actually DOES things in the equality movement and an organization I work with has been testing TV spots for future us with straight focus groups for months unless in their survey after they do admit to some kind of bias against gay people straight people are almost never put off by same sex people kissing. I will for back to ignoring your silly posts they are all about your desperate need for attention which manifest as you trying to argue with people and your general apathy about actual being part of the equality movement. Enjoy it I&#039;m not interested.</description>

		<description>Yeah, my father has the some reaction to gay pda&#039;s and stuff like that.  He doesn&#039;t lose control of himself and become a homophobic troglodyte like some who witness them do, and who have no self control and aren&#039;t really &quot;persons&quot;.  Drunken messages early in the morning detailing the particulars of gay sex haven&#039;t cured him of this, either.  He&#039;s very gay friendly, though.  It&#039;s just an autoamtic response he can&#039;t control, but that one can supress and behave like a human being upon rational consideration.  Many of our instincts and inclinations are treated the same way, thankfully.  It&#039;s called ethics.

I get revolted by straight pda&#039;s (esp. in Italy...they&#039;re grotesquely beyond the pale), heteronormative socialization be damned.  I think it&#039;s disgusting.  No judgment, though.  It just makes me vomit a little in my mouth.</description>

		<description>Finding a physical act repulsive does not mean you hate the people who engage in it. Hell, I find cheese disgusting (more disgusting than any straight man finds a gay kiss) but I don&#039;t hate people who eat cheese.</description>

		<description>Seriously I don&#039;t enjoy watching anyone make out in public, gay or straight.  If you want to make a quick kiss or a peck on the cheek then go for it, but when either party starts making out in the public square it&#039;s usually disturbing.  For Christ sakes save it for when you get home.   

Most people who don&#039;t like watching 2 guys mack each other at the movie theater more likely than not don&#039;t want to see some horny 16 year old boy grope and make out with his GF.</description>
