No, we can't all agree on that, because:
1. It is obvious that "anyone" means gays. I did not
ever hear you refer to hand-holding by straights as
inappropriate. (Do you think it is? Have you never
done so?)
2. I do not think that I would classify hand-holding
as intimate.
3. I WANT my niece and other children to see gay
couples acting like straight couples, so they will
perhaps see that it is NOT different and will not
carry on the homophobic tradition in America.
4. I want one day to be able to hold my SO's hand
without having to look around first for fear of our
physical safety and job security. The youth of today
is the only hope that this will EVER come to pass.
That said, I usually HATE it when we stray this far
from music, but this happens to hit a nerve.
Finally, it has been my experience that when hearing
others' opinions makes us doubt our own, the time has
come to question and solidify our own opinions.
