As social experiments go, this is refreshing news. Younger people seem indifferent about gays and lesbians being out. Many students no longer care whether their classmates are gay, as many of them say, as long as they do not flaunt it.
Therein is the rub. Why can straights flaunt their relationships and put them out for all to see in public, but gays and lesbians cannot? I am also interested in understanding why society can accept lesbians far more readily than they can 2 gay men making out.

  Like nothingpetty said below, for many straight or bi men, its a fantasy. The young generations indifference isn't a surprising thing to me. The thing I find the most disturbing from the younger generation is the willingness to use the term "gay" as an insult.

For straight men, two lesbians making out is a sex fantasy. I'm not sure why.

HoMosexual 'Gay PDA in Main Street USA'
Much about Nothing, the same reaction would occur if HoMosexual Men/Women were in two different parts of either city.
In regard to HoMosexual Men vs HoMosexual Women, Individual's react differently to viewing encounters in a Public arena.
Ex Governor of NJ, McGreevy who resigned in Disgrace, had a wife, Children and also a HoMosexual Lover? His Mother/Father, Wife, Children and Voters in NJ, seem rather confused over his bazaar behavior. Is it Fair To Say, if McGreevy received sufficient Mental health Support he could have avoided destroying his family life and remained Governor of New Jersey?
