I voted Option 2, but I wouldn't say it's disgust at all, just a level of discomfort. I see nothing wrong with it and no reason why my biological reaction to something should have any sway over what is or isn't good public policy.
I'm with fahdiz here.  I don't think 'disgust' is the right word, but yes it kind of skeeves me out somehow.

Be honest.

This is partially inspired by garbon's other thread - I think it's a measure of a truly wise man to be able to separate one's aesthetics from one's politics.

Edit: Voted "other" to see results.

The poll is sexist Marty.

Sometimes 1, sometimes 2. Depends how heavily they're going at it.
And I note your poll makes no mention of straight couples kissing. That can be pretty icky too.

Is Squeeze Tyr.  If so, why?  I voted 1, but I based that on not find homosexual displays of affection any more disturbing then heterosexual ones.  I still find it kinda awkward.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

His old name was Josquius, which has a "squee" sound in the middle.

I feel disgusted with anybody kissing in public.  Public displays of affection are more annoying than tailgating, littering and the homeless combined.

No the homeless take the cake.

Considering your location and the resulting increased homeless per capita, I will defer.
