A question of offensiveness

[Andromeda18_]

I see what you are saying and I agree to an extent. That's why I say his problems with it are not as simple as hating gay people or anything like that. The issue I have is the way he's refered to it. I too am not a fan of people kissing in public gay or not say on a train sitting next to me or something, but that's not the issue. The issue was talking about a kissing scene, on TV maybe? It's not the same thing. The whole situation has only arrived from the way he reacted to the kiss. If I see something like a PDA in public I am not disgusted or wouldn't make it known or visible that I thought so like Blight did. He must of said or done something for the other person to know how he felt. It shouldn't bring such visual disgust. You're talking about a kiss. To talk and act so 'grossed' out about it is a bit too far.

Well, Blight does seem to be a bit blunt but it seems to me like that girl overreacted. He probably wouldn't have spoken his mind (initially, he only cringed) if she herself hadn't reacted the way she did. And I have to say that the whole "all kisses are beautiful" thing was just lame, but that's my opinion. She said he should be more accepting but the way I see it even if he felt true disgust it doesn't mean he's not accepting. I can't exactly say I understand how he feels because I feel absolutely nothing when I see two women or two men kissing (on tv) but I believe it's possible to accept and respect homosexuality and not like the idea of two men/women having sex. I think Blight accepts gays, but when he sees two men kissing he unconsciously thinks of himself doing that and doesn't like the idea. Do you understand what I mean? Maybe you don't feel weird when you think of yourself kissing a woman but I'm certain there's at least one gay man out there that does.
Don't think I'm trying to excuse Blight in any way, the truth is I simply don't think this is a situation that requires an excuse.
