Now here's a question~~Why isn't it considered appropriate behavior? I don't mean two people giving each other tonsillectomies and groping genitals in public, daring anyone to say anything negative. That's politics. I am referring to basic affection between two loving people.
If I choose to sit at a restaurant with my arm around my fiancee, occasionally kissing (pecking) her shoulder, cheek, or lips then what is the harm? Hetero couples do it all the time everywhere, *including church*. I know. I've seen it. I've always been extremely pleased to witness (any) people in love showing the world that they are a couple. Perhaps if "Get a room" were replaced by, "Good for you!" we would have far fewer instances of "shocked straights" or any other form of gay/ethnic/etc. bashing.
