A friend of mine who is gay and his bf were at a restaurant the other day, and they sat down (next to each other), ordered their meal, and were waiting for their food. While they were waiting my buddy had his hand on the table, and his bf put his hand on top of my friends hand. It was their 1 year anniversary. Well I guess one guy just couldn't take it because he walked right up to them and asked them to stop that "nasty sh!t", because he had his two young daughters sitting with him, and he didn't want them to see that kinda stuff.
Of course they stopped because this bastard was very large and intimidating, and in all honesty they were afraid.
Do you think it is appropriate to have a public display of affection like hand holding in restaurant?
Or was that guy just being a big @sshole because it was two guys doing it instead of two girls or one girl and one guy.

Who really cares? People just need to mind their own business...holding hands by two men is considerably less offensive than watching two teenages try to suck each other's tonsils out!

Well it's a good thing that father stood up for his daughters' rights, they could've caught some of those gay-germs.

Your friends need to stand up to assholes like that. If they are scared to admit their relationship in front of the public, they will have a terrible time carrying on with it. They will be different people inside and outside the house.

I'd say it's safe to say the guy was a raging homophobe. If two people (gay or straight) want to hold hands in a restaurant, why should I care? I hold my wife's hand in public, but that's as far as it goes. I certainly don't go for the graphic PDAs like sucking her tonsils or something, though.

I'm sure we'll now hear a slew of "OMFG TEH FAGZORS MUST DIE!"-type comments in this thread, though since you mentioned gay people. :roll:

I think they are afraid of getting the crap beat out of them. Not ashamed, just scared. And they should be in some situations.

I'm sure the guy would be ok though it it was two heteros sucking tounge. Hell, if the woman had a large enough chest he'd be staring down her shirt probably. If the guy had a problem, eat at home.

so it's the 2 men who need to change their behavior and not the homophobe?

what is wrong with not wanting to cause a scene or be confrontational?

Yeah, that confrontational retard set a better example for his daughters by threatening violence upon two strangers at a restaurant. :roll:

I think his priorities are out of whack.

They are in a public place not in a KKK meeting. Unless they get surrounded by skinheads swinging chains, I can see no situation in which they should be scared. And I am not saying that they should go firing all cylinders on seeing assholes like that. They could have:

a) changed seats
b) told the man to fvck off nicely
c) Calmly talked about the special relation they have and if the man still was still acting up, goto point b) again.

In your opinion, which is more offensive: holding hands in public or screaming on the top of your vioce" OMG LOOK AT THESE FAGS!!1!!1!" I know which one I would say. Tell your friends to relax, they are not commiting a crime.
