How would you respond to seeing a same-sex couple kissing/ or holding hands ?

I want to ask you a question. Suppose you went to a restraint and you saw a same-sex couple holding hands or kissing?
BE 100% FROM THE GUT HONEST. DON'T LIE.

**Understand that I am asking HETROSEXUALS this question. It is not meant to deride or make a negative or homophobic comment about our LGBTQ members. Thanks !!

As far as kissing, romantic attention, etc. it's completely normal to me. If it is a bit too much "PDA" of course it's awkward either way. I was a little uncomfortable with it when I was younger though, it wasn't something I saw where I grew up outside of some drunk party girls kissing now and then.

I don't think seeing people holding hands ever gave me a strange feeling regardless of gender.

I'd avoid or ignore the situation just like when I see hetero couples doing these things in public. Holding hands is pretty normal though. In some cultures men hold hands without it meaning anything.

Do you feel that same-sex couples should do that ? I would think some heterosexuals would be uncomfortable. Should the management care about the straights feelings, or should they not ?

Yup.People can act irrational. But irrationality doesn't hurt ( or it's not supposed to, but in reality, it does, it really does.) Keep your chin up. To Hell with them if they got a problem with it.

I'd have the same reaction regardless of sex -- a restaurant isn't an appropriate place for kissing.
A restaurant is a place where first you kiss the food and then make them disappear. By the way,if you clean your mouth with a tissue before kissing,why not ?

Not a matter of hygiene, Marcello. Android asked for a gut reaction and I was raised to feel a restaurant an inappropriate place for overt sexual displays. I'm not too keen on shaving or masturbating at table, either -- and relieving yourself in the potted ficus is definitely all out.

There's a time and place for everything. I'm fine with same sex couples making out on a park bench, and it's always nice to see two people holding hands, regardless of their sexes.

Just get used to .
You will see us doing everything reserved for you. It was a front page news when the fist untouchable hindu served as a flight attendant decades ago but now who cares?

Kindly grow up please, you cannot decide on behalf of me. I kiss in a restaurant or a graveyard,it is up to me and my mood.

I suppose if it is more than a greeting....
Go find a room is my first thought.
But that is the same thought for any orientation of couple.

A kiss and greet is perfectly normal.

The kiss subject to this topic is not pornographic . Let me ask you; how would you respond to someone who holds a wine glass wrongly?

I never thought it was anything to do with pornography.
I do not know what the right way to hold a glass should be....

I would not respond to any behaviour in a restaurant. Though I would expect the management to, if it became inappropriate.

I have been to restaurants that have purposely shaded and secluded tables. I would expect a greater degree of intimacy in such places.
But I would still not expect to see pubic hair in anyone's teeth.

I'm not discriminating. Making out at table is not 'reserved' for any sexual combination. Otherwise I'm happy to see gays in any ordinary social situation.
