Public Displays of Affection

[Crystal]

Okay....with the whole DOMA being reconsidered by the Supreme Court, and the issue of Time magazine I just recieved that has two women on the cover kissing......where do you stand on public displays of affection?

While I am in support of the GLBTQ community, and have several friends who are gay/bi/lesbian, I don't neccessarily want to see gay/lesbian couples kissing....BUT, I feel the same way about heterosexual couples. I think there is a time and a place for kissing/rubbing against each other etc. and it does not happen to be in public places, no matter your orientation. I also don't want to see it on the cover of a magazine (Time magazine SUX, btw)

So, how about you?

I used to think PDA was gross, but I think I'm getting sentimental in my old age. I love seeing couples nuzzle or smooch innocently. Making out is too much for me. Groping is too much for me.

The teens that nuzzle and smooch make me nostalgic, and the older couples that do it make me hopeful.

That's sweet.

DOMA-What is that?

I think hand holding is fine and I love when you see older couples doing this or maybe a small kiss on the cheek.

Full on kissing, hands in each other back pockets, walking where one person is in front of the other person (usually the girl is in front), being led around like a puppy, over the top hugging-I don't like it.

To me there is a time and place for everything. I think respect/common courtisy is just gone anymore.

DOMA = Defense of Marriage Act

It essentially prohibits Gay Marriage. It is being reconsidered as to whether or not it is Constitutional.

I feel the same way about it. I don't like seeing anyone kissing in public ... hetero or not. Hand holding I'm ok with and hugging too as long as it's not over the top groping and @$$ grabbing.

PS I love the Kindle commercial:
Girl in sun chair an in bikini has Kindle
Hot dude next to her in a sun chair doesn't
Hot dude buy Kindle and tells girl in bikini they should celebrate
Girl tells hot guy that her husband is at the bar getting her a drink
Hot dude tells girl "So is mine"
Camera pans to two guys at the bar (one is apparently the girls husband and the other is the hot dude's husband)

This isn't overly "in your face" but proves it's point

Hand holding, peck on the cheek is sweet. Groping/making out? Get a room

BTW- There are 2 Time covers being distributed-one with 2 women, another with 2 men.

[Starburst]

I think a quick little peck on the check (or even on the lips) is okay as long as it doesn't look like your to swallow each others faces.

I love that one too.

As far as PDA I don't really want to watch anyone making out, little amounts of PDA don't bother me but the makeout/groping sessions I sometimes see going on are a bit much for me

I thought that was a great one too!

kindle ad was ok, but what was the point? Time cover I wouldnt want my kids to see

I really don't like PDA. It just seems inappropriate to me. I hug or quick kiss is okay, but more than that should be private.

[KnoxMom]

PDA, as with anything else, should be done in good taste. I kiss on the lips is cute, hand holding and the like is adorable. On the other hand, if I have to cover my child's face or stop them from staring... it means you're doing WAY too much.

[mema]

I think hand holding, a quick hug or kiss good-bye or hello is fine. Tonsil hockey, a$$ grabbing, making out, etc is not. My fil and his wife drive me batty. They constantly walk around with their hand in each others back pocket. Ds won't even walk with them when they do that. Hold hands, not cheeks!

This is how I feel also.
