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.

I have PICTURES from the last one...
I consider them negative and pornographic. I guess Andrew is from another world.
But I'm in SF - and hate it!
I believe in peer pressure and ridicule as a way to make people change unacceptable public behavior. For example, when someone picks their nose, stare at them and make a face (or my preference, slap their hand away from their face) - when I see PDA from fags - I stare and point and laugh.
It makes me feel better.
;-)
later pingout.
You said it!
Couldn't agree more.
Thanks, Cap! The truth ain't pretty, but people need to know it. Pretending it doesn't exist doesn't make it go away. The reverse, in fact.
Too much information!
Response: A frequent and vigourous application of the whip would soon suppress this revolting behavior. However, that would take strength. In place of strength we now have tolerance. Yet there is a Positive element in being forced to witness perversion first hand. We are learning the true meaning of the words and phrases: "Tolerance," "Equality," "Room at the Table," "The Big Tent," "Empowerment," etc. etc. Enjoy the concept of license!
BUMP for later!
Living in SF, do you have time for anything else?
Don't forget: Diversity.
Luckily, I live in the 'burbs. It's less prevalent out here.
But when I'm in SF - it's a 24/7 gig.
Stare, point, laugh, repeat.
