Lifestyle is just that. It is whatever we live and how we conduct ourselves.
If a gay couple wants to kiss in public, fine by me. As for in my face, I don't like that from gay or straight. I could care about sexual preferences, conquests, whatever. To me that is a personal thing I don't need to know. So it isn't just about gay people or couples. Just leave me out of personal stuff and all is fine. Push it at me and I'll react.
I say live and let live. We are all God's creation. I have no idea what gay people go through dealing with others. There are idiots in this world. Some day we will all be judged for how we treat each other. They will have to answer for their actions.
Thanks for sharing and being open about your feelings. Stay well and live happily and long.
