Affection, Passion, and Lust.

If there really is a god then the most important and beautiful gift he gave us is human affection, whether it's gay or straight.

I suppose that people of either gender can do whatever they want to do in public. Apparently they do it in public for a reason, reason being that they want everyone to see their public "affection" although I think it is extreme.
​
To me, love is better exemplified by older couples who simply stay by each others side and hold hands occasionally. They are much more mature and rational in their love for each other, though it is as deep or deeper than any eros oriented displays of youthful passion.

Not to go to off-topic, but is it actually unusual for people to kiss in public in America? Surely people kissing in parks or on the street is totally standard.
Kissing is not uncommon. Passionate kissing is not as common. To discern the difference, ask yourself if you would have any problem doing it in front of grandmother on Thanksgiving.

It's just that there is a double standard where straight couples can almost have sex right out in public and nobody would mind but if a gay couple even hold hands then they'd be told to "cover up".
Well I would mind! These darn couples need to get a room!

Either gender.
