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.

It's a free country.

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.

I left SF. :P

Yeah so I'm free to hate.

I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

I thought this said "gay pill for straight people". And there I was ready to embrace my inner Sappho.

In retrospect I shouldn't have probably used the word "disgust" but "discomfort". I think this is pretty natural.

Yeah Viper, you think this is TBR or something! :P
it's a public protest in France or Belgium.  We are so prude here :(

It is something one gets used to. In my city, such displays have gone in my lifetime from absolutely verboten in public, through edgy, to almost complete public indifference. 

First time I saw open gay affection in public I was uncomfortable with it. Now, it really has no impact on me at all one way or the other, unless they are really making a spectacle of themselves - same goes for straights.

Doesn't explain much about who they are. Just tells me they are pretty evil and terrible.
