It's the 3.30am bit that I find interesting here. Being a bit gay, I can appreciate the sensitivities of some folk when it comes to public displays of affection. I was even asked to not do it in my family home for fear of 'infecting' the younger householders. But, it was 3.30am. Wtf?

I don't understand

So you's aren't allowed to kiss in a public place?

Do you?

It's a fucking joke if you can't. Though it wouldn't surprise me if I'm honest. Whole worlds going to hell in a handbasket.

Ah, a security guard - well then he will possibly have a brain the size of a peanut (not saying all do, but it's not uncommon) slooshing about loose in a skull full of fermented testosterone, and if you said 'bigotry' to him, he'd assume you were speaking of a larger shrub.

Did they have a no heavy petting sign up?

Or maybe the guard was a teensy bit jealous.

You can do as you wish in public, as long as it isn't indecent (naked/sex), I suppose. It's not the crime it once was, certainly, but many don't for this very reason. I've only ever done it in gay venues to be honest, if only because it's not something you can just spring on someone, imo, for fear of reprisals. It's really something you need to sit down and discuss with the other person as I don't think it fair to just assume that the other party would feel comfortable or able to deal with some of the responses that my ensue.

There's a lot of thought has to go into this 'gay' lark, you know.

Since when is spar open at 3.30am?

I'm a Waitrose girl myself, so I wouldn't know.

Do you think the story iffy then?

WTF is wrong with kissing?

Was this an objection to kissing or same sex kissing?

Was this a prude/"decency" thing or just prejudice?

The former is a little understandable but the latter is not. IMHO.

Theres prejudice everywhere, its not just colour or sexuality its even stuff like language.
I've noticed clouds come over peoples faces when they hear a polish accent but they're all smiles until they hear it because they look just like them.
Christ, theres no winning, sigh.
