I just read an answer in which a woman said, and I quote "sexuality is not a thing that one needs to know". She goes on, "gays should keep it to themseles just as heterosexuals should not share theirs"
Ok, so what she is saying is that no heterosexual couple should be allowed to hold hands as they walk through the mall. No man can put his arm arond a woman while watching a movie in a public theater. That is what she said, right?
What do you heterosexuals think of that? This heterosexual thinks that actually she was only directing those comments to homosexuals and she added the heterosexual part to appear to be politically correct. Could I be right?

Actually what offends her is to see a homosexual couple holding hands as they walk through the mall.

I do not see a comment here from her. Maybe she will get around to it.

I think she's full of crap. I think you're right in that she added heterosexuality to appear PC. She really just doesn't want to see gay people expressing in any way any sort of affection, even tame, mild affection. Here's what she doesn't realize (or does realize and conveniently omits):
Heterosexuals reveal their sexuality constantly. One doesn't have to announce "I AM STRAIGHT" to tell people that one is straight. Talking about a person of the opposite sex that you are interested in, expressing interest in an opposite sex movie star, talking about a date with a member of the opposite sex, talking about ones opposte sex spouse, etc etc etc.... they are all "tells". Holding hands or refering to someone as "honey" in public is also a "tell"... one needsn't slobber all over a member of the opposite sex in public to show that one is straight.
Homosexuals, on the other hand, can't do any of those things that heterosexuals take for granted. If you express attraction towards a same sex celebrity, if you talk about a date with a person of the same sex, if you talk about a same sex significant other, you always have to wonder who is listening and who might be offended or outraged. These things don't occur to heterosexuals but do occur to homosexuals in every aspect of life.

Well, pain and suffering are different. Pain is what happens and suffering is how an individual feels and reacts to it. I think they all have the same pain but suffering can never be calculated because it's how each individuals deals with the pain. I think the prejudice that are put on these groups is equal. Prejudice is an attitude and people in every area of the world have prejudice against something or someone. I think they are also all discriminated against equally for pretty much the same reason. Ignorance and fear!

I believe you are absolutely correct in your assumption that she added the part about heterosexuals to appear PC. It stands to reason to assume that she would have no problem seeing a heterosexual couple showing affection in public but would be disgusted to see a homosexual couple do the same. She most likely adds the part about heterosexual couples to appear tolerant.

No !!!!! I think that which she is trying to convey is that Heterosexuals shouldn't go into public and have intercourse at the bus stop, in a car down in front of the city courthouse during rush-hour. Everybody holds hands, even Gays, as they walk. It is a little disturbing when they Kiss in public. But, constitutionally, their God given right. Not that God approves. But their right as given to them to choose whether they wish to be faithful servants or go to HELL. Heterosexuals have the same right. Not to have sex with many women in a row or vice-versa. Not to make a show out of loving. But to live faithfuly, thru prayer. Makes you wonder about Evolution. Ever seen a homosexual Ape?/? Can't say as I have.

That's exactly what she was doing. She's probably some old biddy that was born in the 1800's and has not adapted to any change what-so-ever! She's probably still beating floor rugs outside with a broom and hollering down the mountains and hills for the kids to come and get their supper. I say "MIND YOUR BUSINESS!" If you don't have any constructive criticism then "KEEP YOU MOUTH CLOSED!" Now the next time you have an encounter with her, passed my words along to her.

Maybe, but she also could have met that any type of affection should only be demonstrated in the walls of your own domain.
There are some people who find a public display of affection being morally wrong, and disgusting acts of foreplay. But she could have meant it the way you thought, I would ask her what she meant. It's always better to know than to speculate.
I wish you well

She's saying that it's okay for gays to be gays just as long as we don't have to see it. In a way that makes being gay uncomfortable for her which in my mind means that she is upset in some way about it.
Heterosexuals demonstrate their sexuality all over the place. You see it in movies, magazines, newspapers, and in public. We don't hide much of anything.
My opinion? She's a total homophob.
I knew this guy that was all for gay rights and he even marched in some of their protests, but then one day he saw to guys kissing and that changed his opinion. He's now totally anti-gay. I guess it all became real for him when he saw those two guys smooching.
Some people are just too stupid to live.

Sexuality is a natural inborn trait. Yes there is discretion that needs to be used with it in public, however some public displays of affection are totally permissible. To try to grind that part of ourselves under a heel and try to make it disappear isn't healthy or normal.
She probably thinks that any kind of display of sexuality is undesirable.. and personally I think that is kind of warped.

well, i dont think that pda's are what they mean when gays "come out", do they? I guess if they started making out in public, people would get the idea, but really, id rather not see that from anyone to tell the truth.

You are most probably correct. Humans have a tendency to burrow in the sand on issues which are uncomfortable to the senses. Thank God, that He is not like that. He tells it just like He says it should be.
