I'm personally not at all interested in the privacy of other people. As long as there is no gay couple next to me, putting their tongues into the mouth of each other, I don't care. If it happens on TV I have the choice to switch the program. If it happens next to me, I feel somehow annoyed. The same applies to heterosexual couples doing so by the way.
So it's more the open displays of affection that annoys you rather than the sexuality of the people involved?
I must admit that if I see gay people being affectionate in public I have a conditioned response to feel uncomfortable, but I know that the uncomfortable feeling is irrational.
While I personally don't hate homosexuality deeply, but it is disgusting to me (when I think about it or if I'd have to watch it), I consider myself being an agnostic. I've never heard of Leviticus and never read the bible by the way.
Why would you have to watch it or think about it though?
And I was careful to say that the hatred almost always comes from religion. Of course that's not always the case, but most of the time it is - like when you hear of hotel owners not allowing gay couples to stay there, or adoption agencies which will not allow gay couples to adopt - two examples from recent history in the UK - because the person with the problem is a committed Christian.
