    They shouldn't be "afraid" to do that -- but that doesn't mean they SHOULD do that.

    If gay people choose to act on their sexual orientation, they should at least do it in private. It's fine for a man and woman to hold hands in public, because that represents our biological, sexual, and emotional "default position."

    Homosexuality, on the other hand, is not our "default position" -- it is not fully natural, nor is it what we are physically or socially designed for. Thus, any physical expressions of this disordered sexual orientation should be kept strictly private.

    I don't think they should HAVE to be afraid; but I understand why some are. I know people who have had horrible things done to them as a reaction to small, seemingly benign displays of affection, such as hand-holding or a peck on the cheek.

    I wish they didn't have to feel afraid. I wish they always felt safe and had no reason to hide who they are. I wish society made them feel comfortable to hold hands or give each other a hug or kiss ion the sun like other couples.

    Why should decent, law abiding citizens, who are harming no one, have to hide, because you don't want to talk to your kids? It's hand-holding. Seriously. It's not like we're talking about making out. It's just hand-holding. I think your hate, is far more "sick in the mind" than their love.

    It's no big deal, but if people want to have an issue with something that's none of their business. . . . I say cram it "down their throats" anyway

    I don't think it is right that they are right to be afraid in some places. I think that shows a serious problem with our society.

    No one has the right to do violence to another person simply because they dislike something that person is doing. However, these couples should be ashamed, for their affection is both against nature and harmful to society.

    Oops, I hit "Yes", thinking it said "allowed" or something like that.

    Nobody should be afraid to hold hands with anyone in public.

    I suppose it depends on where they are holding hands.

    It would not be given a second thought in my neighborhood, because most in this area use their thoughts for more important things... which honestly would include almost anything other than the gender of people holding hands (sigh).

    Do I think they SHOULD BE? No, I think they shouldn't have to be afraid, do I think there's reason for them to be afraid? Sadly, yes... with all the hate crimes against gays, I think there's reason for them to be afraid.

    However, I don't usually hold my girlfriend's hand on the street because I just feel awkward doing that. I mean, holding anyone's hand on the street... That's just not how I am.

    No they shouldn't be. It's sad that often they are, and with good reason.

    I am hopeful this will soon change.
