Having Public Display of Affection is most different when you are homosexual. I find it very much uncomfortable holding hands, hugging, or kissing my boyfriend when we are out in public because I am worried of what other people think or of what they will say or do. I hate that just because I am gay that I am pushed out of my comfort level to show affection to my boyfriend.
As much as I want to say that I don't care of what people say or think about me, I can't. I care very much so and I know that I shouldn't. My boyfriend doesn't seem to mind showing PDA in our relationship whatsoever; which I think is great because I want to become comfortable with it. I shouldn't have to hide who I am because of how someone else feels about it. All I would like is to feel comfortable holding my boyfriends hand while walking around in public.
I am just happy that I live in the time I do now because, doing that, say 40 years ago, would be unheard of. So I am thankful that I was born in a better time, but things still need to get better.
