I'm not sure if any other Brits would agree with me here but I don't that the UK is as 'OK' with homosexuality as the Americans are...

I agree with the Aviator there are a lot of homophobes over here. While there are, of course, Gay couples out there it is usualy better not to make a public display of the fact. Why alienate yourself unnecessarily. In an ideal country it would be normal for Gay couples to hold hands but in the one Dave and I live in it is safer not to, except in a few districts of a few cities.
 
I tend to see more lesbian couples here in town. The few times I saw a gay couple were in the grocery store shopping. It really was a wonderful thing to see. There were a few glances shot their way (I followed them for a couple of isles I was so intrigued...) But for the most part they weren't given any notice. Sort of gives you hope.
 
Constantly.

All the time.

There's a lot of "those people" here. :-) And I love it.

And nobody's 'flaunting' anything; they're just being who they are. Nobody much cares around here. Good thing about a liberal metropolitan area in a liberal northern state.
 
Whenever I go out, market, shopping, cinema, shows, restaurant, I see other gay couples, behaving as all couples do, straights or not, but neither attracting specially the attention. They are just a natural part of society.
Maybe we are very lucky to live here !:D
 
I think my gaydar is off as well. When I lived in Boston, I saw gay couples everywhere. Now that I'm in a so-called Red State, I just don't see same sex couples together. Sometimes I feel that I'm the only one around.
 
A few times a month, probably. In this part of Colorado, gay couples don't make their status as obvious as in Denver, and I'm inferring their status by how they seem to relate to each other. Gazing at each other, smoking the same cigarette, conversations that indicate they know each other very well, that sort of thing.

My life is pretty boring ... go to work, go home, go to work, go home. I'm with the same people, day in and day out, and my transport is by car so I don't engage with new people enough to see much of what's out there. Which is a long-winded way of saying ... if even little ol' me sees *that* many gay couples, there's more out there than the social conservatives would like to admit! (!)
 
well i went shopping today and while i dident see any couples specifically i definatly saw some gay guys today ;)
 
i'm at college, so fairly often....it always brings a great big smile to my face :)

I live in Toronto (as you did), same story 'cept here they are wearing Burberry toques and scarves.

Every neighbourhood has a huge, visible gay component. Riverdale, over-run with queer couples... The Beaches, more gay than straight some days. Rosedale and Forrest Hill, a huge and growing gay 'urban professional' population. The Annex, MARY!
 
When I was in the USA in vacation I saw one couple in the mall and another kissing in the train station... First time I saw this :gogirl:

In the UK (especially where I live) you hardly ever see gay couples out and about holding hands. I mean you see couples walking about town and stuff but never do they announce that they're a couple. (i.e. holding hands and hugging n stuff (apart from in clubs n bars ofcourse))

There are still quite a few incidents of homophobic attacks. I know it's horrible to say this but it's safer to go outside not announcing your sexuality... :(

In Manchester I frequently see gay couples around and about showing some kind of affection publically. Ok, so they're not snogging each others faces off or groping each other in the street, but then again I don't see straight couples doing that particularly either :p

I wouldn't say that attitudes in the UK are homophobic, quite the contrary. However, there are local areas which have varying levels of acceptance - I don't think this is particularly different from any western country.

My boyfriend and I will show signs of affection in public (but not beyond the limits of public decency! ;)) - but it's always best to exercise caution with these things I think. If you feel like it's not the right environment to do so then hold back.

I hope that one of these days we won't have to worry about it at all, but for now I think we're definitely heading in the right direction.
