wut 25 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Why is it that if a gay couple kiss, people will tell them "Please stop kissing"....And then if you tell them "Why? Are you homophobic?" They say "No, I just don't like to watch people kiss, no matter gay or straight".....But even though they said that, they don't bother to say anything if they see a straight couple kiss! -.- This has happened to me many times. People tell me to stop kissing my gf because "They don't like to see people kiss" But still they don't say anything to straight couples who kiss. It's annoying as fuck.

jewelfamous 1,013 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I don't like couples who make out in public no matter if they're gay, straight etc. but I wouldn't tell them to stop, I would just look away like a normal person with common sense would,,,DUH *hairflip* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
핵! 6,020 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Oh gosh, seeing gay couples expressing love in public isn't the norm for everyone. Not everyone who disagrees with it is homophobic, it's just because they're not exposed to it on a daily basis, unlike heterosexual couples who are seen by society as the ''norm''. With that said though, there are still people who are uncomfortable with seeing public display of affection, whether ''straight'' or ''gay''. This is a no-brainer. No need to make a topic over it.

Nini Bear 3,530 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 TBH I ask straight couples to stop too. That is if it's a make-out session and it disturbs more than just myself... But people will always find something to bitch about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fak-u 2,015 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 public display of affection has always been uncomfortable, when it comes to kissing, straight or gay none matter. a peck/a hug is acceptable, more than that i would consider rude in general.

Kissing is no big deal, but if you're sitting there making out with someone in a public place with other people it's just inconsiderate and awkward for the people around you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironborn 151 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 come on, i think we both know why it's all about the norm. in most places, even hetero couple kissing in public is still considered inconsiderate, let alone gay couple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remus 1,775 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 It isn't homophobia. It is a difference in the brains of heterosexuals and homosexuals. Heterosexuals, especially men naturally find homosexual activity disgusting. Multiple Neurological studies have been done on this. Few studies demonstrated neural circuits related to disgust were influenced by internal sexual orientation in male. Here we used fMRI to study the neural responses to disgust in homosexual and heterosexual men to investigate that issue. Thirty-two healthy male volunteers (sixteen homosexual and sixteen heterosexual) were scanned while viewing alternating blocks of three types of erotic film: heterosexual couples (F-M), male homosexual couples (M-M), and female homosexual couples (F-F) engaged in sexual activity. All the participants rated their level of disgust and sexual arousal as well. The F-F and M-M stimuli induced disgust in homosexual and heterosexual men, respectively. The common activations related to disgusting stimuli included: bilateral frontal gyrus and occipital gyrus, right middle temporal gyrus, left superior temporal gyrus, right cerebellum, and right thalamus. Homosexual men had greater neural responses in the left medial frontal gyrus than did heterosexual men to the sexual disgusting stimuli; in contrast, heterosexual men showed significantly greater activation than homosexual men in the left cuneus. ROI analysis showed that negative correlation were found between the magnitude of MRI signals in the left medial frontal gyrus and scores of disgust in homosexual subjects (p<0.05). This study indicated that there were regions in common as well as regions specific for each type of erotic stimuli during disgust of homosexual and heterosexual men. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20576388 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
핵! 6,020 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Lol the nerve of some people. How can you tell someone to stop kissing because you don't like it? Me personally, I don't like it gay, straight idc, but who am I to tell people what to do? Yeah I agree with this. While I don't have any problem with this, sometimes I can feel how tense some other people feel around those who displays their love openly.. but I mean.... they're just in love :\ As long as they're not doing anything raunchy or inappropriate, I don't see why anyone has the rights to tell lovers / couples from stopping what comes naturally. Surely this world can't be so backwards that seeing lovers express their feelings is something bad.. right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdzPower 3,385 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 If people see a gay couple kiss and ask them to stop it may not be that they are homophobic, they may just be uncomfortable watching because either they weren't bought up being exposed to it very much or maybe they don't know how to handle the unknown. Of course most people would just look away but that would require common sense I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remus 1,775 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 People who have a problem with same sex couples kissing but not when it's a straight couple are homophobes no matter how much they deny it. It is a natural nuerochemical response. Same thing that makes people attracted to someone or aroused by something. A physical, neurological reaction. This isn't my opinion it is the conclusion of several scientific studies. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18768725 EDIT: This is also the same reason that people who say being gay is a choice are completely full of shit.

핵! 6,020 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 So it's ok for people to make homophobic remarks and ask a gay couple to stop showing affection because they are just "not used to it"? That is homophobia. What homophobic remarks? If they make homophobic remarks, then sure... there's a chance they might be.. but that wasn't part of the topic(?) There's a fine line between being weird-ed out by seeing something that you're not exposed to on a daily basis and straight out homophobia, and I feel most of the time, people are quick to label everything and everyone ''homophobic''. Most people fail to realize that homophobic (originating from the word ''homophobia'') is the actual physical fear of gay people. However time has passed and it has now adopted a second meaning which is ''hate against homosexual people''. (A little off topic, sorry). But my point is.. there's a difference between feeling uncomfortable by seeing something you're not used to and straight out hate for homosexual people themselves. We humans have many flaws. And one of those flaws is that most of the time, we don't like what we don't understand. In this case, we live in a world where Gay couples are afraid to come out publicly because they're scared of feeling judgement from society. So naturally.. you don't see many gay couples expressing their love for one another publicly as opposed to heterosexual couples. So when it does happen... it can seem odd and ''unnatural'' to some people. Heck, I am gay myself, but whenever I do see gay couples in public openly kissing.. even I take a double look. It's just something that we're not used to seeing. It's sad.. yes. We live in an oppressed and often backwards society... but hopefully with times, things will change.
