To highlight points made about acceptance - I made the simple gesture of giving my partner a quick peck while we were sat together on the train today having a chat. Nothing wrong with that for the majority of couples right?

Because my partner is also a guy some fat trollope sat opposite saw fit to give me a look that I would have regaled upon someone like Ian Huntley.

I was actually too taken aback to even think of saying anything but on reflection I wish I had.

If only because I'm fairly confident I could have made her feel 6 inches tall by virtue of my own build, which she may not have noticed as I was sitting down.

That's beside the point anyway.

My sexuality has been accepted by every one of my friends and colleagues as far as I know (although I appreciate a few did struggle with it but came round after realising that I wasn't about to change from the person I've always been). I don't shove it in their faces and I'm not a mincing lisping mess who will hit on anyone going.

I just love my boyfriend to bits and have done for a rather long while (years, rather than months) and want to get on with our life together.

^^yeah when I was with my bf, cos he lived in cambridge, we used to see each other only at the weekend (either he'd come here or I'd go there, we'd alternate). But I was wary about seeing him off at the station, sometimes I'd chicken out and just not do anything - not even a hug, I'd feel really rubbish about itt afterwards. other times I'd do a quick peck on the cheek... once I was really brave and give him proper kiss on the lips (albeit when it was quiet) - but it was always kinda worrying/anxious when it came to it, feeling uneasy about the people around me...

I've never been worried about showing my affection for my now ex-partner in public. Like Alex a few posts above, I am of a bigger build and few people would pick an arguement with me, but that shouldn't make any difference.

Well today I ran into the first homophobe in a while I have, someone from this forum actually who I recently added to MSN. I won't be childish and point out who it is, but the conversation was rather funny and consisted of him basically 'detecting'that I was gay because I allegedly have a feminine side, and then blocking me because he had a 'bad experience' with gays and I sounded just like one of them :P

I also have a colleague at work who clearly isn't comfortable with his sexuality and occasionally bugs me, but what can ya do?

One day this week, whilst walking mile upon mile of CWR, i'm going to count up how many gays i know and how many i would consider friends. I reckon it's going to be double figures for both

Christmas is only a few months away.

I do love a good mince pie.

Sorry that was poor, even by my standards.
