How should this interact with people who are interested in seeing the display in question? (E.g. I once made out with a girl on a bus full of people and we got lots of, er, positive attention. How should I have weighted that vs. your discomfort with public displays of gay affection if you had been on the bus with us?)
I just realized that when I said “gay”, I meant “gay male”.
Although to answer your question, you’d have to sum up the positive and negative preferences of people who might see you. I expect you’d probably be in the clear at a college pub, less so at the Retired Baptist Womens’ Convention.

Yeah, I thought that might be it. (Of course, when I see gay guys being affectionate my response is “awwwwwww”, so the same sort of question can be constructed.)
