    You have made an incredible point, love. People are such hypocrites. Nobody minds gawking at someone's head being smashed, many don't even mind when two women hold hands or kiss (this behavior is actually embraced now) but when it comes to two men holding hands or showing affection, it's suddenly the most disgusting thing in the world. I guess it's because this world is controlled by straight, idiotic asswipe men.

    Because society has an accepted norm for what a man must act and be like-our definition of masculinity. If we see two men holding hands, & I'm not saying all of us!, then we immediately see this as odd behaviour. It's not that we don't accept it, it's that it makes us take a step back because we're still not used to it yet. Basically, we're more used to seeing men holding guns than holding hands because we don't like change.

    As it is described in Vedic wisdom....Kali Yuga, the age of chaos, confusion and godlessness....is coming along very nicely. One glaring sypmton, hatefulness, comes to mind...as it is more prevaliant now than ever before it seems (either that or the news is more proficient at reporting it than ever before). But the qualities of not only hate, but of selfishness, arrogance, greediness, lust, anger....all these things will become more apparant with the advance of this age. And gradually the saintly qualities will disappear...like love, kindness, compassion, honesty, humility, and so on. Not a whole lot can be done...just work on yourself, keep these Godly qualities inside yourself, and try and set the example to all around you. Quietly and with courage and resolution. And with humility.

    It's sad but true. This culture seems to be more at ease with seeing violence and needing enemies than seeing or feeling love. Violence is easy and it's ingrained in this society. It's a powerful energy to be negative. Most people feed off of it.

    It's much easier to hate and destroy than to love and create. Maybe people are scared of love. I mean the real unconditional kind of love that totally changes n transforms you.

    Yes true, but why do men like seeing women on women action and that's OK, but it's not OK for men on men.. well my theory is nobody is perfect. Neither is our society. Certain things will be frowned on.. Hate goes along with love, yeah it's sad and twisted, but can you honestly believe it will ever be different.. Besides in most peoples eyes it's sick......... But it comes down to we are all twisted just to what extent and we all have our flaws. Besides people are close minded to a lot of subjects.. It's life........

    i can tell by reading your question and the details you can not spell. so i am not surprised by your question, what the hell does 2 3 4 5 or 6 men holding guns have to do with two men showing perverseness. and i damn sure don't watch it. when i do see it .i feel sorry for them, cause they don't know that real love is expressed between a man and a woman! try to comp rend this just try. man & man -penis in ***, man & woman penis in viginia=reproduction= family = love. you would know better than me what a penis in the *** produces!!!!!!!!

    I find it a sin against God to be either way. I'm not to judge anyone because only God can do that, but being homosexual is wrong according to the bible. However, we are to love our neighbor, so I can love a gay person. The bible also says that being angry and having hatred is also wrong. I'm uncomfortable with how many people keep going against God and His laws.
