And, since we had

Because of my job I have to be careful out in public with my girl. Now, when we are out of town, or just feeling "spunky" I will hold her hand, or give her a quick kiss. In the cold weather I like to put her hand in my pocket with mine. I have been known to occasionally give her a small pinch on her butt too.
today is our 5 year anniversary!

Sometimes I wish we could all just grab the bull by the horns and 'just do it' especially when its something that shouldnt be a big deal.

====================

I agree totally with your sentiment.

I also wonders if we're sympathetic to those that don't want to "just do it"? Someone asked me "what if I don't want to hold hands or hugs in public because I don't want to display by emotions in public, like my father. Would I be going against the cause to make the public accept us?"

I would never expect anyone to go totally outside their comfort zone just for a cause.

I always hold hands with my girlfriend. I had a boyfriend of two years before I met her and started to like her. She was the first girl I have been with, but I was not her first girlfriend, she has been out for about 10 years. We've been together for a year and a half now, I love her very much and I want people to know that therefore I would never shy away from holding her hand. If she were a man, it would be accepted because we were in a normal relationship. Well our relationship is normal, we love eachother very much, and I'm not embarassed to hold her hand or give her a little peck on the lips. She is important to me and I want everyone to know that. Some people have looked at us oddly sometimes, but were not rude, we don't go into these long public shows of affection, but if I want to hold my girlsfriend's hand or kiss her, than I can do that. We hold hands all the time, when we go out to dinner, or for a walk in the park. And as her partner, if she didn't want to hold my hand, because of the reaction she got from other people, than shes not the girl for me.
