I recently was on an airplane and two lesbians insisted on kissing and fondling each other in front on my kid!

Simply say, can you not do that in front of my child?

If they give you crap about hating gay people..say "get over yourself, its not because youre gay, its because hes a small child and i dont want him seeing softcore sex!"

If they still dont get it...i would have called the attendant over and told her about the situation, perhaps they could have seated your son some where else.

FYI this should go for straight couples as well. If you simply are offended by this becuase they are gay...then forget everything i said and seek therapy to deal with your issues of unacceptance.

Im trying to make this as balanced as possible so dont take anything as insulting. Im with you ...i dont believe ANYONE should be making out in public, its beyond inappropiate and should be done privately.

It seems as if your heart is in the right place, but you have to realise that a straight couple would probably kiss. If the lesbians were making out, and doing inapproiate fondling then it would be okay to approach them and ask them to stop ... just the same with a straight couple. But, if they were merely flirting then you should not condemn them so. The world is changing and although I personally would never do anything infront of a young child, there are people who will. You must understand that your child's generation is going to be very different than yours might have been. Shielding your child from two lesbians flirting (if that is what they were doing) may protect them until elementary school, but children are finding out about homosexuality younger and younger as the years pass.

I personally wont do anything in front of a child because I think public affection is disgusting no matter what gender you may be with. Also, if you have no problem with people being gay you should help your child understand that ... being okay with homosexuality does not make your child gay :)

I have a little difficulty believing that people would be publicly fondling one another like that on an airplane---especially with so much security and the very likely possibility of being arrested for public indecency. I would agree with you that it is both inappropriate and tacky.

However, I don't think there's anything wrong with a same-sex couple kissing. Although, if they're going to do it in public it should be 'decent' and the same goes for straight couples, too. If it starts to get too 'hot', then they need to take it to somewhere private.

Still, you are over-reacting. Straight couples hug and kiss inappropriately in public all the time, and if it were a straight couple I doubt you would be as angry or upset about it as you are now. You're not really angry about the fondling or the kissing. You're angry because they are gay and you don't like gay people. Be careful. Parents like you often find that their own kids grow up and come out as gay later on, and then you give them a hard time about it and disown them.

For the record: I'm a gay man and I totally agree with you. A kiss or holding hands is one thing: fondling breasts is quite another.

I would have done one of three things, probably in this order:

1. Asked them to stop, since I had small children and this was way beyond a friendly kiss or holding hands.

2. Contacted the flight attendant, explained the situation, and let the flight attendant deal with it. (They're good at stuff like that, and if the other people care not to listen to commands of the flight attendant, they can find themselves off the plane at the next destination and no way back home — except driving.)

3. In a worst case scenario: order some buttermilk — the low-fat, high-lactose kind. Drink the buttermilk and wait: gas should develop rather quickly in your intestine. As you slowly pass by them — fart quietly. Lactic acid farts are absolutely deadly, and if they're going to be so rude as to have softcore sex in front of your kids, you can at least return the favor by gassing them.

Sorry you ran into a rude couple. I know there are some out there unfortunately. I dont think any display of affection should be shown in public places other then hand holding and maybe a peck. I would have said, "ladies, nothing against you as people but can you hold up on the display of affection for my young son's sake"? And then if they did not cooporate or got ugly about it you could call for the flight attendant to intervene.

i'm a lesbian and i agree with you.... I see no point in making it ABSOLUTELY clear that i'm a lesbian and love my girlfriend. Now, if there was a straight couple on the plane and you had said something to them and not the other couple...then yea i'd be pissed...but if you just didn't want them all over each other teaching your child the birds and the bees, then yea i understand that....

You paid for your ride. You have a right to expect a decent and peaceful trip.

Those two lesbians had no respect for anyone on that plane, especially your children. If they do not respect you and your children, you have a right to ask them to please respect you children and postpone their making out until your flight is over. If they refuse, then speak to the flight attendant. Again this is your right. Stand up for you and your kids.

I'm so sorry that you had to see and deal with this. Maybe next time your flight will be better.

Have a great day!

You should have called the flight attendant who would have asked them to knock it off. Oddly enough it's becoming a problem with people having sex on Planes, not necessarily lesbians but people in general. It's called "The Mile High Club" My girlfriend and I have other things to do in planes,like clutching the armrests in terror, or weeping uncontrollably- we both hate flying.

totally inappropriate behavior in public and especially in front of small children. Doesnt matter if u r str8 or gay. It is just outside the bounds of decent and appropriate behavior. They should try that in a court room. Im sure the judge would be very sympathetic to their show of affection.

I agree on that they should have been more thoughtful. Public places, especially where young children are, are not the places to engage in sexual activities, I think.

Plenty of people will think that children will be exposed to it anyway. That is true, but it shouldn't happen like this.

Next time (which I hope won't happen), tell them you are not at all appreciative of their behaviour, and ask if they could keep it more discreet, at the very least.
