It was Sunday evening at a casual Orland Park restaurant. A couple, in their late 20s or early 30s, held hands, deeply kissed and couldn't take their hands off one another. The young lovers were both men.
Often in articles relating to changing social mores, the writer begins by assuring readers he's no prude. That's not happening here.
I live a sheltered life by design. I know that I'm an old fogy, a fuddy-duddy and a stuffed shirt. Oh, and of course a curmudgeon too.
Even if that weren't the case, though, I think seeing these two characters in action, and I do mean action, would have been a disquieting experience.
A young, if you'll pardon the expression, heterosexual couple with a child was also present. They cast disapproving looks at the frisky twosome on their way out. I'll bet they absolutely loved having to explain to Junior, who looked to be about six, what he'd just been exposed to.

A Barf alert if you please.
This is so heteronormative.
Oh yes, explaining THAT to my five year old would be fun. Grrr. Then again, I am not fond of ANYBODY doing an extensive liplock complete with Roman hands and Russian fingers in public.
It all has a big "ick" factor to me. Them being gay would have just made matters a bit more gross (imo).
"Ick" alert.
This is what you get when you establish gay marriage.
someone should have complained to the management
THAT pic is disgusting!
(cue cheesy 1970's porn music now)
I once made out with a girl in a certain cathedral. Of course, I was 18 and didn't have much sense at the time. The fact that two guys can't control themselves in a public place in their early 30s is not merely wrong, but pathetic as well.
Nope, the world was O.K., but what was left of their careers crashed and burned in fairly short order. Having the ability to shock as your only talent is not a recipe for career longevity.
I'll put my bet on this. Being gay, they were probably hoping for possible lawsuit action to follow as in the Dodgers case mentioned.
I saw two women do a similar thing right in front of us at Church during Mass.
"Then again, I am not fond of ANYBODY doing an extensive liplock complete with Roman hands and Russian fingers in public."
I agree with you - I don't care whether they are heterosexuaL or homosexual extreme "fondness" should be done in private, thank you.
Back in the 70's (in other words, pre-AIDS) I lived in a top floor walk-up in Anchorage, AK. The apartment under mine had the exact same layout. There was a hetero couple living there for a couple of years. Sometimes I would hear the sounds of passion late at night. No problem.
They moved out and a homosexual male moved in. Then the weekend-long orgies started. I heard things through the floor that would make a maggot puke. You know, prior to this happening I had never thought much about homosexuality. After that, I realized what a sick, unnatural lifestyle choice this is.
It would be wise for homosexuals to keep their lifestyle choice out of the public eye (they won't) because when people realize what really goes on between them, well, just YECCHHH!
