I keep trying to formulate a sentence to go here, but I don't really have the time. But this is what being gay looks like when it's not on your television, when it's not in New York City or San Francisco or what is truly not that much more than a handful of cities, when you're not in a neighborhood where it's safe to be queer, when you're totally average and when you're living in America.

I agree with you about the cisgendered, hetero-couples, too. Little pecks are fine, but tonsil hockey? Come on...

Those besuited guys just sound creepy.

They were. They also had weird red-orange sashes & I caught crosses of some sort. A later guess was perhaps Knights of Columbus.
