According to my grandmother...
If a same-sex couple is walking with their arms linked, is holding hands, hugs, or kisses in public or even in front of other people, they're showing off and purposely flaunting the fact that they're gay (not kidding, she actually said that). I know that there are a lot of people who think that we like to "flaunt" and whatnot, but it just drives me crazy. If a straight couple was holding hands or kissed in public (not talking making out here, just kissing), nobody would think they were trying to flaunt their heterosexuality! My cousin can make out with her boyfriend in front of the whole family and it's acceptable, but I'm not allowed to hug my wife?! I guess that's one of the many reasons why I don't talk to or visit that side of the family often. (Sorry, just needed to vent)
Re: According to my grandmother...
Thanks.
Her attitude (and the attitude of certain others in my family) stinks, but if you can believe it, it's gotten better over the past few years. I'm hoping that we can keep progressing, but I'm starting to have my doubts after this ordeal. I'm also trying to think of the positives because there are family members who are totally cool with it, and their positive attitudes should totally outweigh the few who are closed minded. The double standard and stereotyping gets really old though.
