I'm just gonna jump into this one. I am all for people being happy with their partners. I don't condone same sex relationships but I am certainly not going to try and stop anyone from being happy, regardless of what that means.
With that being said, I just saw a friend post a picture of her and her girlfriend kissing... ugh. That kind of makes me uncomfortable. Okay, no "kinda" about it. It does make me uncomfortable. I have no problem with her dating a girl. I have no problem with her kissing her girl... but I don't want to see it as a profile picture. I have gay guy friends on my Facebook. I have gay girl friends on my Facebook. It's not a big deal. They are who they are and I accept them for that. They post couple pictures, fine. Kissing pictures... uck!
And here is where it gets complicated. I could care less if it is a male and female kissing. But even though I am okay with same sex relationships I don't feel it should be posted publicly. Am I contradicting myself? It's freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of virtually anything. This is America. They can do what they want and I feel that they should be able to post what they want, where they want. But I can't stand seeing it there. I don't want to look at it. I don't want it on my News Feed. What does that say about myself?
Just a thought.
I've had tha same issue. I think it's so sweet when someone sets a picture of them kissing their boyfriend/girlfriend as the profile picture when it's a hetero relationship, but for some reason, I just cringe when it's a same-sex relationship. And I'm like you, I don't really care, if they're happy, fine. I guess it just boils down to it's not natural, and it makes me uncomfortable.
