Gay poll for straight people: your politics and aesthetics

[Martinus]

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.

What if I support it, disgusted by two men, and enjoy two women kissing?

That option is outside the Martisphere.

That's fine (and also why I specifically asked about two guys). I think this is honest and I think this is the goal we should be aiming at - since you can't change biology - so calling straight people who are uncomfortable with seeing two guys kissing homophobes is counter-productive.

What if I support it and find two gay men kissing hott?

You would be surprised.

That's fine too - that's why it is one of the options.

Was just being smartass, haven't voted yet, but will be #1, spent enough time in gay bars to be disgusted by two men kissing.

So in your view is this a matter of exposure or is it something else?

[Martinus]

P.S. I suspect only Neil will vote the option "does not support gay marriage but likes to see two men kissing".

[Strix]

I support gay marriage but find it offensive when anyone kisses in public beyond a quick peck.

[crazy canuck]

Your poll does not separate out disgust for people probing eachothers tonsils in public regardless of sexual orientation.

Fair enough but then again I wasn't also limiting this to PDAs.

For example, I suspect most straight people are not disgusted when they see a man/woman couple kissing in a movie?

[MadImmortalMan]

I support gay marriage but I don't think about the issue at all.

[garbon]

Your poll does not separate out disgust for people probing eachothers tonsils in public regardless of sexual orientation.

Yeah that's my stance too. I don't have an issue with people of any sexual orientation kissing but PDAs can get egregious and awful.
