I agree....ppl kissing on a bus is immature (regardless of one's sexuality) However, it was no more offensive than 20 yo boy kissing his 18yo gf...We do find such public expressions of feeling a bit annoying at times..but come on - they are still kids.
What really upsets me about Iconoplast's post is the concept of "it was wrong because it was not percived well by the public". In this case, we got a problem with public rather than with that two love-birds. People should learn to overcome ignorance and zero tolerance and accept the fact that everyone is different as well as the fact that everyone is equal in the rights to express their feelings.
If you go to Amsterdam or Paris or London or...you name it! Same sex couples walk around holding hands....and nobody seems to get upset about it. Getting upset about someone's sexuality is no different from getting "upset" about one's religion, nationality or race.
Some years ago, I was really surprised that Pauline Hanson recieved so many votes in QLD in rural areas...and now i am no longer surprised.
