Week 6 - Response to Glen

Glen, This post made me really reflect on many levels how I feel about public displays of affection. In "my younger days" I would say that who cares. Everyone should be able to do whatever they want whenever they want with whom they want. If you feel offended, look the other way. Now that I am "more mature", I do think that kissing and hugging in public is perfectly fine, however, in my opinion,it goes too far when the tongue kissing starts for long periods of time, rubbing and so on, I feel it's inappropriate. (Yikes, I sound like my mother!!)When it comes to my kids seeing such displays, and so far they really have not seen anything more than same sex couples holding hands, I would have to have a conversation with the as with any event or situation they don't understand.As far as the lesbian couple getting kicked out of a public event, I think that is going a bit far. But again if it were me, I would realize where I was and wouldn't be kissing like that at a crowded event.
