Gays kissing in public

[Escapee]

I'm sure there was a mention in a thread before about gay guys kissing in public, but I wondered how many of you felt.

I was thinking about it after a near incident last night. (no i wasn't thinking about kissing a guy) There are two very effeminate gays who go in my local pub, I have no problem with the other gays who go there but these two give me the creeps. (notice I didn't say willies)

There was a near incident last night with the pair in question and a group of five gipsies who came in, I'm not even sure how the gipsies got in but they didn't stay long because they probably sensed the vibes. As soon as they got their drinks they started giving the two gays a bit of attitude, obviously thinking they were outnumbering them 5 to 2, but I guess they liked the odds until they started looking around and could see something like 30 guys looking at them.

I do think however the 2 gay guys attract trouble, they were apparently warned a while ago by the landlord or landlady for kissing in the pub. I guess that sounds harsh but apparently they were warned for their own safety, the warning was due to a concern that they would be followed and beaten if there were any gay bashers in there.

I think gays kissing in a pub like my local is a stupid thing to do, if its a gay bar then thats obviously a different story.

Well let's have a rule that NO ONE kisses in the pub.Safer all round then...;)

[Kliro]

Yeah, I don't like gays kissing in public, in the same way I don't like turning round and seeing a hetro couple getting off with each other.

In a club however, I don't care either way.

[zing_deleted]

Oh dear this thread is gonna be fun lol .I personally dont like seeing 2 men kissing I dont know why but I know some psychobabbler will say its cuz im insecure about my own sexuality well maybe I am I dont know but somehow if I see 2 women kissing often something occurs that makes me think in straight (up ;)) But everyone also should be allowed to express themselves how they want and shouldn't feel uncomfortable because maybe I am. However you point in question then common sense should prevail and if theres any chance of trouble then maybe the couple should refrain. No offence to anyone ment here :)

In public

Two men kissing: I find it off-putting. But it should be allowed -I will look the other way:) Transgender et al ditto...

Two girls kissing: keep going girls!

Heterosexual kissing: get a room!

That would be a boring rule though!

Thinking generally about kissing though, its unusual in my local to see men and women kissing. (partners) I often see it when a guy and gal hit it off, but partners doing it are very rare.

Hmmm, with all that booze, the barriers fall quite easily. Kissing is the least of my worries after few pints...

[Angua]

Seems to be the problem is with the couple in question rubbing everyones nose in their antics so to speak? Which for me would be equally unwelcome regardless of the gender mix of the couple.

[punky]

I must be a bit of an oddity then. Seeing two gay men kiss is much the same as a man and a woman kissing to me. Maybe I should be sent out the pub with Shaun and greencreeper.

2 women kissing though, is a beautiful magical thing. And therein lies the big hypocrisy. I'm going to be a traitor to my gender here and say its probably to do with represseed feelings and societial attitudes. Women normally hold hands walking down the street. Men never do, they'd get beaten up. Why? And why is it appropriate to shake hands and high-five every 10 mins? Who made the rules?

[Hom3r]

I don't think kissing (striaght or gays) is a problem, its when they eat each others face off in the proccess which is wrong.

Someone reads the faboulous five a little too often.

'High five old jimmy, we caught up with the crook's boat
Oh only h'after a good old handshake little johnny

[Maggy]

I don't go to the pub to watch people grope each other...But I hate the hypocrisy of saying it's ok for women to kiss each other but not for any other sort of couple.Give me a break...:rolleyes:


I can't believe that anyone would actually think this is worth remarking on..


And to avoid all the pointless crud that's bound to come hereafter in this thread I shall post no further and I shall unsubscribe.Life is too short for this sort of discussion.It's one step up from a Peachey post but only just.

[Enuff]

Depends on wether it's a quick peck on either cheek or a long drawn out wet tongued touchy tonsil type.

Lets face it its every straight mans fantasy to have to women and some lucky bleeders get it often so why is it hipocrisy ??? its sexual horny gimmi gimmi gimmi not hipocritical

Btw im not getting any from anywhere either ;) lol (not a come on btw )

[monkey2468]

If its full on snogging (homo or hetro) then it should be done in private. Full on snogging is sexual in my eyes.

Cable Forum is getting more and more like the provisional wing of the Daily Mail every day :rolleyes:

If you don't want to see gay people kissing in public, then stay at home or keep your eyes firmly to the ground and get yourself a stick so you can avoid bumping in to lamp posts.

And if you don't want to see straight people kissing in public, do the same, but in addition paint over all your windows and cut the power cable to your TV. Or move to Brighton - it worked for me and gives me the additional pleasure of being able to irritate people like Escapee's landlady should she ever happen to come down on a day trip ;)

[Jules]

Makes no difference to me to be honest the only time I found it a problem was when I was with my son once and 2 women were kissing, he was only 7 at the time so it was a bit akward, now he is 15 he understands.

[Russ]

I'd rather not see anyone slobbering in public - really puts me off my food.

Leave escapee alone - his/her/it post is honest. This is good.

<sticks tin hat on>

Firstly, the men who came in the pub were not gypsies. They were travellers. I prefer the term "nomadic criminals". Anyways - the subject of poofs snogging...

Well I'm not keen, as I've mentioned before, on public displays of effection at all - regardless of gender or sexual orientation. Not all gay men are effeminate, and not all effeminate men are gay, and not all men that kiss are necessarily gay. I do take your point about inciting trouble - some gay men do tend to be militant and in-your-face with their sexuality. I really don't like this. Live and let live. I don't subscribe to gay pride neither. I'm gay - nothing to be ashamed of but then again, nothing to put the flags out for neither. I am. Nuff said. Would the men have been safer in a gay bar? Well that depends on the area. In Leeds, there are no gay bars as such - tend to be populated by women (feel safe), often with the boyfriend, or groups of straight men out to look at the perverts, maybe kick the crap out of the odd or two, later.

Funny how two lesbians kissing is absolutely fine with any straight man :erm: Odd that.

[Pia]

I'm not homophobic in any way at all, in fact, quite a few of my closest friends are gay, but it does make me feel a bit uncomfortable when i see gay people snogging on in public. Maybe i think it's because some people really don't like it so i guess i feel uncomfortable for the gay people causing others to feel uncomfortable:erm::spin:

Same goes for women kissing, you guys don't seriously think all lesbians are sexy little blonde porn stars do you?:disturbd:

Same goes for a hetero couple though, i hate seeing people slobbering on in public, in a nightlub it's not too bad, as long as they aren't washing each others faces.

I am glad you appreciate that I am just reporting the issue and not taking it that I am saying I am for or against it.

I guess anyone could jump to the wrong conclusion about the landlady's intentions, It could be assumed by some that she is someone who has a strong disagreement with gay people. The fact that she employs two gay guys behind the bar (differnt guys) its very unlikely she said it for any other reason than genuine concern for them, in a pub with many burly hetrosexual guys.

I take the point that I was maybe wrong referring to the 5 guys as gypsies, but they apparently come from the site full of caravans that never travel. So I guess the term "Traveller" is also the wrong description. The site certainly used to have a lot of "Gypsies" who decided to settle there, I know a gypsies family who did just that at the same site. I guess even gypsies can decide to put down roots at some time in life, although these days I guess many of them have living there have never been true gypsies.

Anyway, I have been down for two pints tonight and found out that there was a gypsy wedding reception held unofficially in the Wetherspoons pub last night. Apparently thats the reason there were a load of police cars and ambulances racing past my local when the trouble kicked off about 9:30pm. They came into my local after they were thrown out of the Wetherspoons for having a huge family brawl.

Same goes for women kissing, you guys don't seriously think all lesbians are sexy little blonde porn stars do you?:disturbd:


Your right, all the ones I know from my local are short fat and ugly.:D

PS: greencreeper, I just had a good laugh cos I missed your comment on my first trawl about "poofs snogging"

And appreciates :p:

[Halcyon]

I dont muind people kissing, whatever way they want to play it.
As long as it's not full on kissing sex then that is ok. If you plan to take things really further, go get a hotel room.
But kissing, as long as it's not disrupting anyone else, is fine, whoever it may be.

[etccarmageddon]

I've always believed that you should be pleased to see 2 men kissing in a pub - it reduces the competition by 2 for any hetrosexual men looking to pull in that pub.

I couldn't of said it better myself, the regular gays who come in with a small gang of women (I know one of them is straight) are very possesive though, if a guy tries to chat one of the women up.

Here, here, people kissing in public is just wrong* :Sick:

The odd kiss on the cheak with your gran, or a friend you haven't seen for a while is perhaps o.k. but still iffy.

[kronas]

I'd rather not see anyone slobbering in public - really puts me off my food.

i love seeing a man and woman kiss in public, its so natural and it gives me a warm feeling inside, never seen homosexual/lesbian kissing in public, i personally wouldnt mind it, seen it on tv and thought whoopdee doo, so much aggrovation jeez :rolleyes:

full on kisses are still acceptable, public nudity is NOT lol

I'd rather see someone walking down the street naked than sat there dribbling all over each other.:erm:

Back to gay men kissing, I'm surprised you've all had the (dis)pleasure of seeing this as it's not something I'd have imaged happens much outside the "gay" bars in citys. I obviously live a sheltered life!:disturbd: Perhaps Wales (that is where you're from isn't it Escapee) is more poofy then I imagened!:Yikes:

Yeah, bit we are talking about people kissing, not dribbling.. :D

I personally have no objection to people (gay or straight) kissing in public, as long as I am not forced to watch it.

Well, Llanddewi Brefi (http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/littlebritain/characters/daffyd.shtml) apparently has one gay in the village.

[littld]

I don't care who kisses or who they kiss or how much.

A lot of you need to be a bit more liberal. Unless is casues pain to someone else, ANYTHING goes.

[Druchii]

Personally the only time i'm ok seeing people kiss in public is when it makes me go "aww" simply because you know it was meant to be, or you just get the feeling it was meant to happen.

Other times, when they're deliberately eating eachothers faces off it just makes me feel ill.
Therefore gays kissing is fine, same with lesbians, doesn't make much difference, as long as they aren't doing it deliberately so to speak.

[Nidge]

I've got no problems with gay people kissing in public, it's the same as 2 straight people kissing. Nothing wrong with that.
