"Asperger's" is a syndrome made up by people who don't understand other people.

Turrets is probably closer to the symptoms.

It doesn't hurt anyone. But it sure does make people who are insecure about their own sexuality, or are insecure about their humanity feel better about themselves by attacking it.

While you certainly have a right to your opinion, and even to state your opinion, there is no inherent right not to be offended, nor can mere offense be catagorized with "harm".

And assaulting someone, particularly merely for PDA's, not only will get you locked up, but intrudes on other people's rights as well.

You, young sir or miss, have every right to look away from something that it perfectly legal, and quite emotionally healthy, if it offends you.

Assaulting someone to protect myself is my right. As a human being.

"I was offended, your honor" will not get you off the hook for assault and battery.

No one has any inherent right to physically attack someone because they were "offended". Being "offended" causes no harm whatsoever.

Cross the street, start walking some other way--anything so I don't have to LOOK at that crap. Because I don't need to be offended.
