You're 15, you're still in high school, you were born into a world where everything was taken away our generations in a single, swift act of utter horror that's catapulted the entire planet into at least a hundred years of emotional and economical turmoil. You were in diapers the day I and everyone else my age watched in horror as the towers came falling down.

I honestly have no good words for this. This event has zero bearing on the topic at hand, or the legitimacy of any argument put forth in this thread. This is as bad as invoking Godwin's Law, and has no place here.

And I totally, vehemently disagree with the premise you put forward here. Pushing any form of sexual expression into the closet is going to be problematic, and unhelpful on a large scale. While the discussion and acceptance could be wider (especially with regard to asexuality, bisexuality, etc), I think it is important that we as a society can be open about it. Sexuality is a common human experience, even if everyone does experience it differently. Much like all the other forms of individuality that exist.

The idea that society should keep their sexuality to themselves bothers me, especially when violence is generally more accepted in the media. It seems totally backwards.

I think it's that (same sex) PDAs make people uncomfortable. I don't know why. Also, male to male PDA seems to make people more uncomfortable than does female to female PDA. However, PDAs make some people uncomfortable, regardless of who's doing it. I'm not uncomfortable with PDAs, but I've never been one to do them beyond giving people a hug. Hugs are easy. I like more intimate stuff behind closed doors.

I'd probably just add that while you point out that this is certainly a sliding scale, society as a whole has an issue with the whole thing. Sex and sexuality is both natural and a taboo. And we suck terribly at resolving the conflict.

I agree Alex.
