Someone hates that you hold another girl's hand.

They make out with their boyfriend publicly.

Because they hate you hold her hand, does that mean you shouldn't do it? Does it mean you definitely shouldn't say "fuck it, if they're going to judge me on this anyway" and kiss her?

We're not talking about music, here. We're talking about expression of basic human emotions.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, but "cranking it up to 11" implies going and making out with her on purpose where they could see it, with the intent of making them uncomfortable, not "doing what you would normally do."

I'm not talking about kissing your girlfriend, here. I'm talking about dragging her in front of the straight person, shoving your tongue in her mouth, and proceeding to go overboard when it's not something you would have done otherwise.

[harukami]

...Was that really what anyone else in this thread was talking about?

We're talking about the basic concept that if people are going to say we're flaunting something for something totally minor when heterosexual people do it, we might as well stop trying to tone it down and just do what we want.

The poster I "this'd" didn't bring in the concept -- to my reading, anyway -- of doing it to make them uncomfortable. Just the concept that if they were going to be uncomfortable anyway, then yeah, let's go as wild with it as we want to. It's not like it'll do anything to help anyone's delicate sensibilities if we don't, unless we completely make ourselves invisible.

[fierceawakening.livejournal.com]

Eh. I don't go out of my way to make people uncomfortable, and I don't think most people do. But I also really don't care if someone does, which I think is what anon is picking up on. People do all kinds of things to get attention, as shown by all the trolling in this thread. Trolling straight people by being really campy around them isn't something I'd necessarily ever do...

...buuuuuuuut I'm not gonna waste tears over the fact that some sparkly Jeffree Star type does do it on purpose, either.

[(Anonymous)]

As I said, the phrase "crank it up to 11" implies doing it purposely instead of "going with the flow," so to speak.

Jesus Christ, I'm not telling anyone to tone it down, only to not make it unnecessarily more obnoxious on purpose. Italicized words are the key here. If going all out and snogging in front of people while sticking your hands down your girlfriend's pants are what you'd do normally, go wild! If not, doing that on purpose just to ~make those homophobes uncomfortable~ is still a dick move.
