well, if holding hands in public gets you all upset, im guessing that dick holding is out of the question

That provoked some thought.....

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

Yeah, that's how I see it, like in long-distance situations or those where you're no longer with the person you love.

ThreadBare said:

Or gay folks...as MG is eluding to.

I dont like it either.

Soulofmysoul said:

Yeah, I caught that, too, but was just augmenting it with my own experiences.

And what about the people who don't even have hands?

Soulofmysoul said:

Wow. Good point.

My wife and I can say so much to each other by just holding hands

paintsprayer said:

Well fuck you at least you can! I'd love to hold my husbands hand, but I can't because in America "land of the free" gays are 2nd class citizens!

The "Well fuck you" part is in all good fun

You're all a bunch of lousy, no-good handholders!

I hate the fact that in this narrow-minded backasswards country of ours, same sex couples don't have the right to be just as annoying and nauseating showing affection in public as the straights. It would annoy me the same amount, no more no less, but I would fight to defend your right to do it.

And you call yourself a Southerner...

there's nothing insecure about holding hands in public that is unless your partner just grabs your hand whenever they think someone attractive is walking in you're direction...

Soulofmysoul said:

The South is just the region of which I live...not my mindset.

I think about the only thing I have in common with some of my fellow Southerners is my taste for sweet iced tea.

CynthiasSocks said:

What about America, exactly, prevents you from holding his hand in public?

GottaLetitgo said:

Cool!

GottaLetitgo said:

I live in the South too and I hate sweet tea! I like mine unsweet with lemon!

ThreadBare said:

I don't need to answer that for you dear- you know it.

CynthiasSocks said:

I've seen gay couples hold hands in public.


The illegality of gay marriage notwithstanding, what prevents you from holding his hand in public? Seriously. I'm not being facetious.

CynthiasSocks said:

Tea with lemon. Bleeeccchhhhh!

I would get my ass kicked or constantly made fun of if I were to hold hands with another man, in America. It's funny because some boyfriends that I had didn't hold my hand in public because of safety reasons. It kind of annoyed me but I understood. At my age I think I would do it more freely but it's still scary. Sometimes I revert to my internal homophobia and become embarrased by it. I have to snap myself back into shape.

I don't!!! The wife makes me walk on the other side of the road ..hmm think she likes to pretend we're not together
