Complete honesty here: What goes through your head when you see a gay couple in public? Do you think it's cool that they don't care what others think? Do you think, 'no big deal'? Or are you disgusted?

Straight or gay, I think decent people should keep their kissing, touching and affection behind closed doors, no-one wants to see it. I'm talking about full-blown here, not pecks on the cheek or an arm around the other.
-
If they looked cute and happy together, I would probably smile a little to myself. It would be a "win" in the gay people vs. haters battle. If they looked nasty, like greasy or trashy, or they had a certain air of meanness, then I wouldn't be thinking as pleasantly. I guess overall I would think the same way for a straight couple that looked good or bad. It's all about first impression.
-
honestly I don't give it a second thought. I have family, friends and co-workers that are gay, it just isn't a big deal to me. There's so many other things in this world, beautiful things, ugly things, important things, inspiring things that demand my attention, things that draw my interest...I have no time to care about other peopl's sexual preferences. I say be who you are, do what you want to do with whomever you want as long as it doesn't interfere with me doing the same thing in my life.
-
i dont care
-
If they are making out I tell them to get a room, just like I would a straight couple. Equal Suppression for All! LOL
-
As with a straight couple so long as it isn't my man I don't care one way or the other!
-
I honestly am not bothered. I dont usually pay attention to people in public except the people i am with :)
-
I usually think it's pretty cool. Not many gay couples around where I live are open about it.
-
I actually start looking at the people around them. I get curious about people's reactions.
-
I honestly take more interest in and am happier to see gay couples than I am straight couples. My immediate thought is "Aww! How sweet".
-
I have no problems with this or straight or aliens, etc, live and let live. :o)
-
Assuming that it's obvious, I think, "Hey, those two are a couple." Any number of other things may run through my mind, depending on the situation or their appearance. I may think, "They look cute together." or "Why are there so many really hot gay guys?" or "Man, I'm pretty sure that qualifies as public lewdness." It's all situational.
-
+6 I do not care. Love is where you find it and who am I to condemn or say anything
-
i think it's great that they dont care what other people think, and they're true to themselves. but its not a big deal to me.
-
I don't even think about it. I mean if they were like hard core making out and being disgusting then I might be a little grossed out, as I would if it was a straight couple but I don't see anything wrong with a gay couple being together in public, just kissing and holding hands or any other form of decent public display of affection.
-
I think ..great!, happy to see others who are in love with each other
-
Doesn't bother me one bit. Straight, gay, whatever.
-
I don't get bothered by it under normal circumstances. I will admit that I gag a little bit when I see two guys making out , though. It isn't that they are gay. I find the male body to be not attractive in the least, while the female body is a work of art. I can see two women making out, and feel fine. When I see gay guys making out, that just clicks in my mind as two completely unattractive people making out. Kind of like watching midget porn. Not a pleasant sight at all. I don't really care that they are together though. Whatever works, ya know?
-
I am happy they are happy and that confident in their own sexuality (ies)
-
I honestly, think it is totally adorable. I am delighted to know that they do not care about what others say. The same with interacial dateing. It;s nice how our world has progressed like this :3
-
I live in Santa Cruz, California, USA, the lesbian capitol of the world, but PDA are still not that common. If I see two women holding hands I might look a little longer than normal, because my brain is saying "there's something out of the ordinary", but I would do the same thing with a car that was painted an unusual color. Two men holding hands... I don't think I've ever seen that around here, outside of the annual Pride parade. To be completely honest, I'm sure that some ancient, deep-rooted, macho part of me would have a little bit of an "ick" reaction. I'm all for gay rights, and I speak out about it all the time, but in the interest of complete honesty, I'm sure I would have a brief reaction to it.

IT WOULD BE PRETTY CUTE IF THEY WERE HANDSOME I WOULD LIKE TO SAY "VERY CUTE COUPLE " HEHE
-
I hope they don't care. I don't ask permission from strangers who I want to be with. It's a fact that 10% of the population is gay, and there's shades of gray in between. The only time it was an issue was going to Palm Beach, CA and I tried to explain it to my 5 year old why there were so many same sex couples being affectionate. I think I did well with it because he is straight but has 2 friends from school that are gay. He has other criteria for picking his friends.
-
Me being gay, I think it's cute and wished my partner wasn't traumatized and emotionally crippled by his mother so I can be one of those.
-
I'm not even phased by it. It's normal here.
-
My ex has a huge pink mohican, we wandered around all the time holding hands etc, most people told us what a beautiful couple we were or took pictures of us. We loved each other and it was obvious to anyone who looked at us. I think people respond to the love and not the sexuality, so most people smiled and said hello
-
Ok, I'm not sure, to be completely honest (and this is only my opinion- please don't all jump on me at once!) I think it's hard. A man and woman hand in hand noone looks twice. It is socially the "norm". Two women walk hand in hand, maybe peck on cheek, then people do look. Some Men make snide remarks and some women assume it's put on for men. Two men walk hand in hand, then people outright stare at times. Some people will get violent. Then add kids to this mix, that's when fireworks start. I would like to add here, I am a lesbian, I have been attacked for being in the "right" pub, but met by a homophobic idiot. I worry about gay couples who are overly "out" in public, but I wish them happiness.
-
Dont think much of it unless they start making out no one wants to see that, thats when the disgusted part come into play
-
I secretly think to myself, why cant i find that!!
-
It has no impact on me one way or another.
-
their just like everyone....but im disgusted with seeing straight couples making out..it just looks sickening to me..and quite annoying but i cant say the same about gay couples
-
ah i'd be like crap wheres my guy so we can make out i'd really wouldn't care i'm bi so i'd be like and you want me to say what gross it doesn't really bug me at all
-
I just think good on them :)
-
i throw up all over my jeans.
-
personally, i say humans are humans no matter who they love or where their from. who am i to judge? So i probably wouldnt give it a second thought, ya i'd notice but i wouldnt mind.
-
No big deal. I am a ballet dancer and I live in the village in NYC. Isn't anything I don't see every single day. +5 btw I like girls.
-
the only thing i think of is, "yep. they're gay" that's it now, if i see a butch chick with a creepy mullet who has bigger biceps than the Rock, i'll just think..."o m g" lol that leads me to ask a question...hmm
-
I'm gay, so clearly I am bias! And have no problems with it. But I must admit, I used to be friends with this couple who were so annoying and they would be disgoustingly open with their affection in public. And it used to piss me off whenever we met new people, one of them would never let her gf speak, and would be, like "Im emma, i am a lesbian and this is my girlfriend thea..." I dont see other gay couples nor straight couples doing that and it well....i dunno...jsut got annoying! haha but other than that! I think its beautiful when people show affection to their partner. I always find myself saying "awww...thats so cute" i almost get jealous of it, cos my gf is against it!!!
-
Its cool. ppl fear what they dont know about & only need to be educated on the subject. Im gay & want to be respected regardless.
-
I honestly wouldn't care, I'd think it's sweet that 2 people are in love, but its the same as straight couples you dont even notice. Thats my opinion anyway :)
-
You know honestly I always think it is cool to see any couple in love. Their sexuality isn't an issue. Love is wonderful and I feel good for them.
-
Personally it does not matter to me, i say do what makes you happy.
-
I think it's cool. I say "hooya P.D.A.! Way to O.F.P.! woot!" yus! I left the navy for a reason!
-
Same thing I think with heterosexual couples... Please stop making-out in public! They're a couple... none of my business. It's nice they love each other, otherwise... why should -anything- cross my mind?
-
i think it great! wish evry1 cud b more open so so sad sum ppl dnt lyk it.. obvisously no1 wonts 2 c ppl getin 2 close in public (eg grabin boobs an sucking face) but that goes weather ur straight, bi or lez/gay couple!
-
I think it's cool that they don't care what others think, but I hate that some people DO still think it's a big deal.
-
I feel warm inside that people can experess their affection without harm in this land of the free and home of the braver.
-
The only thing that goes in my mind: "You go guys! :3"
-
if a couple has found love and happiness then wheeeeeee regardless of race, sexual gender, or national origin. +5
-
No problem at all with it. The more love in this world, the better. +4
-
I think it's awesome that they don't care what people think and that they are expressing themselves truthfully :) +5
-
I'm completly heterosexual and just like they don't care what anyone else thinks, neither do I. They have the right to be just as miserable as everyone else! No Big Deal.
