I proudly wear the homophobic badge. The American Psychological Association classified homosexuality as a mental illness until they were forced by political pressure to change that finding. That doesn't mean it quit being a psychological disorder. We'd be better off as a society if they took their "affections" back into the closet.

Leaving your house must be difficult for you. Do you do it much?
Doesn't bother me or my husband. It's a shame that you have to deal with people verbalize their unasked for opinion. I would think it should be a non issue by now, but some are slow.

"Something like that" shows how sheltered you are. Pearl clutching over two men who are a couple? Good lord.
Twisting words again, are you?
I wasn't "pearl clutching" (I don't even own pearls ).
As I said in the post, I wasn't personally bothered by it. I also said that the 2 men looked embarrassed when they saw the 3 year olds.
Once again, you know nothing about raising children. Fortunately, they didn't notice the men as it would have been hard to explain to a 3 year old. Of course, I already explained all of this to you but for some reason, you still didn't understand. Or did you understand but are pretending not to?
I'm not "sheltered". However, clearly it's you who leads a sheltered life---that much is certain given how I had to explain things twice to you. Also, it's clear that you know nothing about child development. You wrongly assume that 3 year olds know all about homosexuality.
...but, hand-holding or the tap kiss? That's so mild. I shouldn't say anything. I knew some older gay dudes in college that really supported each other. It was a loving relationship. I can't, and shouldn't, logically criticize that.
Still as long as nobody tells me what I can or can't do, I won't do that to others.
I won't bother people that don't bother me.

One time I was on the subway I saw these 2 dudes gettin' hot heavy, to the point where even a straight couple would look tacky doing this but, they were in the far corner seat. They didn't get up, stand in the middle, get in people's way, or be loud. I didn't like it but, what followed is something I could justifiably hate.
See, they were small, this 6'1" Trini or Jamaican accented female, easily over 300 lbs, with Fred Flinstone feet, chin-hairs, looked like a stereotypical child social service worker and, with a wide frame that would enable her to get bouncer jobs anywhere ...decides to get up from the third last seat at the other end of the train car, walk over to them and berate them about how they are going to burn in hell.
I stay seated, but, that Q train stretch between 7Av and Prospect Park takes a few minutes. Other people shakin' their heads. I get tired of hearin' her garbage. I use a stage voice, "Judge not lest ye be judged." "Excuse me" she says arrogantly. I say, still seated, "Let one who has not sinned cast the first stone". She walks my way saying, "Don't pervert the passages of the Bible" I get up, scream, loud enough that if cops were there, I'd prob'ly get pinched, "You just bein' a big bully b---h. If they was built like football players, you wouldn't say s--t, and you know it." (Luckily, I am also 6'1" and not small but, she was big enough to Truck me if I was careless). Thankfully, at this time the train opens at Prospect Park, and she gets out, presumably to take the Franklin Ave shuttle, cussing me on the way out, "F--k you, f-----g white boy, all you white boys be fa---ts".
I was heated so I pace, shouting, "I can't stand that big-bully, fat-b---h, bull-s--t. She look like she work for ACS. I hate that s--t!" So, I dislike gay PDAs much like I dislike coleslaw, yea it's my right not to like it but, not to deny it for other people. People that acted the way that ...woman... did... That. I. Hate!
My husband likes to be affectionate everywhere we go (not in an obscene way), I just wonder if it bothers anyone to see two people of the same sex kissing or holding hands in public?
If it does not bother me to see two women or two men kissing or "making out " in public
then it should not bother anybody if I feel that homosexuality is the genetic code for population control.
I have the same response to homosexual couples as I do to heterosexual couples:
"For pete's sake, GET A ROOM!"
However, that response is in my own mind. I never say anything. I find that I am very capable of ignoring things that I find offensive.

You need to stop embarrassing yourself
Exactly, those two gay men knew that their lifestyle was ABNORMAL, and a parent's usual birds and the bees talk wouldn't cover it. The libs and the LGBTQ community not want to add to a parent's stress over the "sex talk" with... and sometimes two chickens fall in love or two roosters have sex... and that's okay too.
