My partner often tries to hold hands with my in public, it's not that I don't love her or want to be with her, I just am not comfortable displaying my affection to her for the sincerity of others.... am I wrong to feel that way?

not sure if your really wrong, but in these days of acceptance, I don't think that holding hands out in public is as big a deal anymore. don't be shy, everyone is so busy in these busy times, they probably wouldn't even notice. They don't notice or won't notice when somebody gets the **** beat out of them in public and broad daylight.

I don't react, gay people are people too, God's people, we are all equal. The pink triangle his me a odd, that was a Nazi designation. So that is really peculiar. Rainbows are pretty, I love that symbol. If they kiss, well that's what people do, it really is not my concern what is going on in their pants, I kiss people I love. Who am I to tell you not to or be offended by love? If my kids asked me about two men or two women kissing each other I would tell them that is what people do when they love each other. If they were old enough to understand all about sex I would say some people are attracted to their own sex, these people are called homosexual. I would honestly stare when I could because I am very intrigued by it. We all are a little intrigued by it. I am Christian, and I know many Christians will do awful things to you, really I think it is because they want to point out "worse"behavior than their own sin. In an irrational attempt to make God see youas worse. But that is just a theory. Men kiss each other in the Bible, Jesus kisses men, kissing is a sign of love. Not all Christians are bigoted haters, Jesus teaches us to act in love never hate, being kind is love.

Me and my husband hold hands in public all the time. Holding hands is not a major public display of affection. It seems to me that you are more concerned about people knowing you are gay. It probably hurts your partner's feelings, hold her hand. Others will just have to get over it, be proud of who you are.

Holding hands with anybody is a matter of choice. Displays of affection vary from person to person, culture to culture. If you are uncomfortable holding hands, make sure your partner knows why.

I love it when I see other gay people holding hands. I am overcome with a feeling of solidarity.
Take a stand. Either your relationship is acceptable, valuable, meaningful - which means that it does not matter what other people think about your perfectly legal, perfectly reasonable display of affection - or it is not. By not holding your partner's hand, you are undermining our fight for equality.

I'm bi, and I love holding hands with my wife. (We're both women.) I'm always affectionate. The only time I'd reconsider is a heavily homophobic area, like a redneck bar or neighborhood "Muslim zone." You're not wrong, but I hope y'all can understand each other, and it's not just fear holding you back. Most people couldn't care less, even though there are a problematic few.

My partner and I are careful out in public too. I just make a game of it. When we are going grocery sopping or something, I will look up and down the row, and if no one is coming our way, I kiss him. Stuff like that. Try it, it's a lot of fun.

it makes me giddy every time i see it. yes, gay people!
yes, that is wrong of you. my ex wouldn't hold my hand in public. it's incredibly insulting and makes you feel like they are embarrassed to be with you. not to mention, who CARES if some jack@ss is offended? get over it and hold your partner's hand or else they won't be there for long...

I love it when me and my wife hold hands in public, it is so sweet, it's not vulgar or anything but this almost unnoticeable act speaks volumes

My girlfriend and I always hold hands in public. It doesn't bother me when I see someone holding hands whether they are gay or straight.
