YOu want the whole world to be a place in which all you can see are gya and lesbian couples holding hands and kissing in the street?!
Absogoddamnlutely.
I live in a conservative area and conduct myself accordingly. PDAs with my boyfriends are a part of my life. I don't do anything that may get us arrested, but I will not stop hugging and kissing them in public. :D Actually I find that if we treat it as a normal everyday occurance most folks simply do not care. At the most we get a "Wow. Two guys are kissing." Then its on to "Wow. I need to stop and pick up some milk." Its just a momentary pause in their day when they see something a bit out of the ordinary. I actually react that way myself when I see affection displayed in public, or even a cute man.
I get the most grief from a few of my gay friends who think that we are simply asking for "trouble". Physically, I am more than capable of defending myself, and so is my baby. We are both big men, (chubs and bears to our fellow gay men). So I say what I usually say to them. Get a grip and get a life. Then I kiss my honey again. :D
'Bout time somebody realized what a great person you are – and he sounds like a pretty good guy too! How long have you two been together? Us straight guys are always the last to know!
Thanks! We met online about six weeks ago, met in person a month ago, and I just spent two weeks at his house in another part of the state. This past Saturday was our one-month anniversary. And he is, indeed, a “pretty good guy”.
Yes the happy homos are loving and in love here, and not afraid to show it. Thanks guys! kisses and hugs to all the positive PDA people of all stripes. Cant wait till me and the boyfriend are finally together and scandalizing the neighborhood. Pecking and schmecking are postive things and always bring a smile to my face when I see them, at least for a second. 87D
I don’t know where you’re getting this “we.” It’s not like the federal government set up the UNCF. As you would know if you bothered to find out, the UNCF provides funds to about 40 private Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). They’re unique educational institutions with a notable record of success graduating african-american students in all fields. Yes, they admit white students, too. They were founded at a time when most black students weren’t welcome at other colleges and universities (Hampton, and others, also recruited sizable Native American populations). They still exist today because many students still find that environment inviting. Donating to the UNCF is no different than donating to, say, the Woman’s College Coalition (although that’s not really a fundraising organization) or a consortium of bible colleges. “We” have lots of choices. “We” are not confined to funding black colleges or black college students. “We” have the option of providing funds to an individual college or university as well, if you find one that so encompasses your desire for inclusiveness and lack of separateness. Just because the UNCF is on TV, that doesn’t mean no other opportunities for post-secondary philanthropy exist.
You’re entitled to your opinions, of course, but it dismays me that you draw conclusions about things without knowing JACK SH*T about them. Have you so little curiosity, so little desire to inform yourself, to inform your opinions?
It is so nice to see young people in love. I remember a girlfriend of mine waaaaay back (lol 10 years ago) and I sitting on the steps in front of the house she owned kissing. Mind you, this was in North Carolina (buckle of the bible belt…) and a VERY conservative neighborhood. There was a little boy and his mom walking down the sidewalk and when he saw us kissing the little boy asked his mom why. SHE said because we were bad people! I smiled at her and said “well if we are bad for being in love then you and your hubby are EVIL.” I would have LOVED to hear her explain THAT one… Anyway I digress… PDAs IMHO are the greatest thing in the world. Maybe if there were more PDAs there would be less fighting and killing going on in the world…
I was always very concervative when it came to pda. felt that it did not belong out where everyone can see it, even in gay bars. but now that I have my baby, and am finally really in love, I find us touching each other in appropriate ways when out in public. holding hands, pecks on the cheeks, ect. nothing worthy of getting a hotel room, but still obvious. funny thing, he used to be concervative on the pda before we really started dating too. it really feels great to announce to the world that you are in love, no matter who with.
