That happens ALL the time to sooo many women. Your single experience is nothing compared to that, and I honestly doubt that all gay men want is to hit on straight men.
To use that experience as an excuse to be against gay men is pretty weak.
I'm uncomfortable--but I see no reason not to let them live the way they want to. There's a difference between "discomfort" and "hate".
I don't travel, but I don't feel affection needs to be shown in public. That's for the privacy of your own home.
Affection should be kept in the privacy of homes? Affection comes in all shapes and sizes my friend. Would you rather we all be numb to affection in public and show no affection, concern or care for others? I think it is exactly the opposite, affection should be encouraged in public, think of all the abusive relationships we have these days. If affection in public was the norm and encouraged, this would brobably decline. Yes, intimate sexual affection should be kept in your own home. But affection towards another human being is natual, that is like saying you cant greet someone. You know flirtation is a form of affection? So is greeting a stranger as you pass.
SO, no affection should be very public. We need more affection, we need more displays of love for one another, and I dont care who is doing it. To see a couple holding hands, wispering into eachothers ears, laughing, smiling, and kissing is great. There is no greater thing than affection. However, I am a romatic and this does not seem weird to me.
Affection is the expression of care, love, and kindness. How is this wrong?
Two straight men high fiving at a ball game or out enjoying a beer with eachother is affection.
I dare anyone to show me how affection is bad? How does PDA hurt anyone? If it is simply a matter of it grossing you out or making you feel uncomfortable, then maybe you need to get intouch with who you are. I know who I am do you?
I am someone who isn't comfortable with displays of affection...and I don't display it myself. I don't like shaking hands or laughing and joking with other people.

I feel sorry for you. I really do. To not know the sensation that comes from laughter or the gentle touch from another human being is no way to live. For a person to not share laughter or a smile with another human being in person is to never experience true happiness.

It sounds like your parents messed you up a bit. At first you said it was just gay men showing affection in public, but now it seems that you don't want any affection being displayed at all between anybody. That's weird. Laughing and joking is what this world is all about. If you don't have that you are missing out on some feel good time. Perhaps a counselor can help you explore why you are so uncomfortable with having a good time. Good luck.
Just in public--I don't care what people do in the privacy of their homes. Gay, straight, whatever.
