Sainsburys And The Lesbians
87 Answers
Maybe you saw this story recently. I missed it coz I was away, but it's caused quite a stir locally.

How do we feel about PDAs generally?
The local students are having "kiss ins" where everyone is encouraged to stand outside Sainsburys and snog their pals (same gender pals, obviously, given the context).

I have to say joggerjayne this is one of the best titles I've seen so far on AB Sounds like a sixties pop group , doesn't it ?

never understood why gays think its their birthright to show PDA's in public. Most hetrosexuals (that I know anyway) keep it to themselves in private. Ive never, as a hetrosexual, found it incumbent on me to show the world that im straight and proud. I couldnt give a fig what sexual orentation what you are. Just dont shove it in my face.
There's obviously a conspiracy between Sainsbury's and Transport for London. In Blackheath a couple of blokes were thrown off a No 89 bus for snogging:

Among the bus driver's offerings:
"Oi, you two, don't do that... or you can get off."
"It's my bus, it is my rules, and I don't want to watch that. It's disgusting. Get off the bus'."
Ken Davidson, TfL's head of bus operations, said all customers had the right to use the service "without fear of being abused and offensive behaviour is completely unacceptable".
A steward's enquiry is under way. Hopefully it will establish whose behaviour was the most offensive.

I would like to commend you (as others have) for the absolute best question title of 2014 in AB's News section.
AB Editor - please take note...at the end of year 'AB Awards' (yes folks, they are happening), joggerjayne needs to be recognised.
Anyway - back to the question...perhaps I'm in a minority here, but when I see people (gay or straight) kissing on the street, or on public transport, or supermarkets etc...I kinda get a warm fuzzy feeling inside, because I too am in love and I know how happy that makes me.
I like to see other people living 'in the moment'.
Put it another way - out of all the things I see and hear (and smell, occasionally) whilst out and about in London, kissing is way, way, way down on my list of things to get offended by.
There is a limit though - when it goes beyond kissing and reaches the realms of snogging (defined by 'kissing with a degree of groping and/or other sexual 'movement') - then a line should be drawn.
But with regards to the lesbians at Sainsburys - I would have fronted it out. I would have said, "Get your manager, and get the police...but know that when I am chucked out, you will be featured in national press and your butt is going to be kicked by Head Off..."
Actually no...
That's nonsense...I don't think I would've kissed in Sainsbury's in the first place. Supermarkets are a place to have arguments over rocket salad...not displays of love.

Have you never been outside a night club at 2am on a Sunday morning.
Let's put it this way - there are usually quite a few heterosexual couples who are well on the way to creating other people at that time.
Seriously.

You are so[i right.
When stories like this crop up, all of a sudden it appears that the entire male and female heterosexual demographic of the UK suddenly turns into Maria Von flipping Trapp!!!
I've worked for 30 years in finance and then IT, and believe me, when straight people get a few rum and cokes down them at a Christmas party, there are [i]not] many lonely goatherds around.

The point is - straight couples get away with all the time.
It's totally fake to suggest that straight couples walk around like there's a giant invisible Dutch cap between them.
What is true though, is that there is a minority of people who are more offended at gay people having a smooch than gay people.
What these people are effectively saying is, "You need to hide yourselves and keep it behind closed doors".
I do not think that gay people should do that if the same is not expected of straight people.
It's a matter of fairness.
