Now, bearing in mind I live in Devon, this site was as rare as hens teeth, but in the last few weeks I’ve seen 3 gay couples holding hands in public. Are the times a changin’ or is Devon finally catching up to the rest of the country (except Cornwall of course, them buggers are off the grid).
Or do we live in a more cosmopolitan country now. All three couples were reasonable young lads, maybe they’re more comfortable expressing there sexuality than older gays ?! |

Times are definitely a-changing. I live in a huge city which has always been a progressive kind of place, but I notice that people are way more open and less afraid now than they were a decade or two ago, and even over the last few years. |

"Are the times a changin’ or is Devon finally catching up to the rest of the country (except Cornwall of course, them buggers are off the grid).
Maybe they were tourists not Devonians?  "
Probably from fucking Brighton, coming down here flaunting there sexualities. |

"It’s no big deal in Brighton. Or cross dressers or TVs or anything. "
Brighton has always been very forward thinking and embraced the lgbqt community’s long before the rest of the UK . I can remember some forty years ago there being a strong gay guy community there . I didn’t live there for long , but when I moved to Nottingham not long after that I was surprised how few gay guys there were ther in the late seventies , early eighties . |

Most of the city is ‘gay friendly’ with little rainbow stickers on shops etc plus there’s a place called Kemptown Village which has tons of gay things there. Pubs, shops, clubs, cafes etc. |

Honestly outside of Brighton and 'gay quarters' in the big cities like Vauxhall, Soho, Hurst Street I don't think I have ever really seen men holding hands unless it was pride weekend or at a gig/festival where most people wouldn;t care |

So do you not like gay people and transvestites then. It seems such a strange heading in this day and age. I've never seen the lgbt community called buses before. You do realise it's not against the law for men or women or transvestites to hold hands with people they are in love with |

I’ve never seen gay men holding hands down here, then I see three in a matter of weeks, surely you’ve heard the saying about buses ‘You wait ages for one and then three turn up at once’
I have no opinion of gays or transvestites and yes I’m fully aware it’s not against the law for them to hold hands, it was merely an observation. |

I was just observing you too and your comments. I don't suppose there are many Jews and blacks down your way so do you point them out as well.

It's just a thread about people holding hands. Why do you have an issue with it? If he'd mentioned jews or blacks, people would be asking why did he single them out.
If he saw a yellow car and said how unusual they are, would everyone complain that he didn't mention red blue and silver cars?
Oh. Yes they would. |

Nothing will ever top the two guys I saw giving each other a peck on the lips before one of them jumped on the bus I was on. It was mainly because they were two big bearded metalheads, one with a Death shirt on and the other with a Cannibal Corpse shirt. I squeed a little inside at how cute it was |

Not everyone lives in a place where it is common to see gay men and women kiss and hold hands. Outside the Brighton bubble, there are plenty of places where it is frowned upon (and, in certain circumstances, dangerous to hold hands). And yes, I am talking about in the UK. This means that such acts are rare. |

Did I point at them in the street and say ‘hey everyone look there’s some homosexual holding hands, let’s gather round and look!’
No, I walked passed and carried on with my day, but started a thread about it several hours later, because up until a few weeks ago I’d never seen it before. |

Probally a good reason to leave them alone and ignore them if your saying Devon and Cornwall are full of violent biggots. And saying "What the fuck" cos you see a few gay people holding hands doesn't sound too good does it. |

I’m pleased to say that locally I have seen quite a few young gay couples holding hands. However I can’t say the same for older generations. The younger generation seem more comfortable with their sexuality. |

So do you not like gay people and transvestites then. It seems such a strange heading in this day and age. I've never seen the lgbt community called buses before. You do realise it's not against the law for men or women or transvestites to hold hands with people they are in love with
I’ve never seen gay men holding hands down here, then I see three in a matter of weeks, surely you’ve heard the saying about buses ‘You wait ages for one and then three turn up at once’
I have no opinion of gays or transvestites and yes I’m fully aware it’s not against the law for them to hold hands, it was merely an observation.
I was just observing you too and your comments. I don't suppose there are many Jews and blacks down your way so do you point them out as well.
Not everyone lives in a place where it is common to see gay men and women kiss and hold hands. Outside the Brighton bubble, there are plenty of places where it is frowned upon (and, in certain circumstances, dangerous to hold hands). And yes, I am talking about in the UK. This means that such acts are rare.
Probally a good reason to leave them alone and ignore them if your saying Devon and Cornwall are full of violent biggots. And saying "What the fuck" cos you see a few gay people holding hands doesn't sound too good does it.
Where the hell do get that Devon and Cornwall are full of violent bigots?! Your trampoline is fucking massive mate! "
and then comes the shouting and abuse lol. |

I'm not sure but the post earlier said it was dangerous in parts of the country for gays to hold hands so I thought as the op says there are not many gays where he Is and the amount of suprise he has shown in observing them the 3 couples he recently saw could mean it's dangerous in Devon and Cornwall. |

Exactly  And it's an interesting discussion. I'm really not seeing the issue, there's nothing remotely homophobic about this thread |

I don't think a lot of people appreciate the diversity of the UK, despite claiming to be diverse about sexuality.
You're spot on, I live in a fairly rural area.
People aren't offended by others sexuality, it's just not a common sight, neither is flamboyantly advertising your sexuality. No one cares. In fact you dont see any couples kissing on a regular basis in public here.
Nothing homophobic about your post, just an observation. |

And even more ‘interestingly’ I was two Asian men in traditional clothing holding hands in Dewsbury Park (don’t forget we are meant to have a sharia court here etc) so it’s VERY brave of them!

For the thousands of guys, it's still a restrictive country. Most people in most towns will not have seen men holding hands or kissing.
Mind you, there aren't many guys on fab that you ever see kissing other guys in pics, despite the huge desire for it. |

Whenever I am in Cornwall I have my cream tea the Devon way and visa versa when in Devon. People can get wound up by the silliest of things. I take great pleasure from it and as of yet have never had anyone get physical with me over it |

Oh my goodness . That was a figure of speech. Along with the three buses comment earlier. Clearly the ops comments fly over your head! Lol. Why on earth are you looking for a fight? Clearly you are with your comments. Making things up the OP never said and seeing offence when none is here.
What's the matter? Didn't get laid this morning? Ran out of coffee?? Jeeze just stop, have a good think before messaging and just relax ok. |

I have no opinion of gays or transvestites and yes I’m fully aware it’s not against the law for them to hold hands, it was merely an observation.
I was just observing you too and your comments. I don't suppose there are many Jews and blacks down your way so do you point them out as well.
Not everyone lives in a place where it is common to see gay men and women kiss and hold hands. Outside the Brighton bubble, there are plenty of places where it is frowned upon (and, in certain circumstances, dangerous to hold hands). And yes, I am talking about in the UK. This means that such acts are rare.
Probally a good reason to leave them alone and ignore them if your saying Devon and Cornwall are full of violent biggots. And saying "What the fuck" cos you see a few gay people holding hands doesn't sound too good does it.
Where the hell do get that Devon and Cornwall are full of violent bigots?! Your trampoline is fucking massive mate!
Also I don't have a trampoline. Mate
Oh my goodness . That was a figure of speech. Along with the three buses comment earlier. Clearly the ops comments fly over your head! Lol. Why on earth are you looking for a fight? Clearly you are with your comments. Making things up the OP never said and seeing offence when none is here.
What's the matter? Didn't get laid this morning? Ran out of coffee?? Jeeze just stop, have a good think before messaging and just relax ok."

Where?
I'm not sure but the post earlier said it was dangerous in parts of the country for gays to hold hands so I thought as the op says there are not many gays where he Is and the amount of suprise he has shown in observing them the 3 couples he recently saw could mean it's dangerous in Devon and Cornwall.
That's a huge jump to come to that conclusion
Ok if you say it's not dangerous in Devon and Cornwall that's good so where is it dangerous to be gay and holding hands in public.

There was a guy beaten to death in Central London just a few years ago that was deemed to be a homophibic attack. I would think most town centres on a Friday or Saturday full of d*unks some of whom are looking for a reason for a fight would be dodgy. |

I did have a cream tea once and the service was bordering on aggressive. I merely commented that they’d got the cream and jam wrong way round.
Whenever I am in Cornwall I have my cream tea the Devon way and visa versa when in Devon. People can get wound up by the silliest of things. I take great pleasure from it and as of yet have never had anyone get physical with me over it "
The silence following the splash of milk on my doily told a thousand words, believe you me. |

You have no opinion on gays of tvs?
Do you not have the opinion that they deserve the same rights and respect as everybody
"
When I saw the gay couples holding hands, I had no opinion either way, just that it was a sight I haven’t seen before. Yes, of course they deserve the same rights and respect as everybody else.
You don’t have to be offended or overjoyed at seeing something. |

If you hadn’t seen a badger your whole life, then you see three in a matter of weeks would that make it easier for you to understand the point I’m trying to make ?! Ok I give you that. My appolagise. But surely you watch tv. Gay people are everywhere. Not just here in Brighton. Every soap has gay people in it.
No problem, I know plenty, my best mates brother is gay and so is his boyfriend. I know more lesbians than I can shake a stick at (I’d never shake a stick at a lesbian)."
I hope not lol. I don't go around picking fights but I will say what I honestly felt about the post. Living in Brighton all my life I have seen the worst kind of bigotry you could imagine. Gays and lesbians still get attacked in the street late at night. Mostly from out of towners enjoying Brighton and it,s freedoms. I read it in the local papers regularly and your posts could invite others to be homophobic in their ignorance of the gay lgbt community. After you explained and I understood your surprise on seeing those guys I felt I had gone over the top a bit. Its not for me and not my job to tell people what to write on here but i will always say something if i think something is wrong. I appolagise Again and hope you have a great day. Why don't you say hello next time you see them. Am sure they don't bite unless you ask them too lol. |

Surely the fact that three separate couples felt comfortable enough to hold hands shows that Cornwall and Devon aren't full of bigots.  |

Or do we live in a more cosmopolitan country now. All three couples were reasonable young lads, maybe they’re more comfortable expressing there sexuality than older gays ?!"
If your on holiday, you have to hold hands with your partner, its an unwritten law. Most straight couples dont hold hands all the time when theyre out and about. Get then away for a dirty weekend and they wont let go of each others hands. Disgusting! Theyll be pecking each other on the cheek next! I blame it all on spicy food and tight underwear. |

People are becoming more confident, more willing to express themselves openly.
Its something few heterosexual beings will ever understand simplh because you have never been ostracised or mocked or assaulted for your sexuality.
Gay people are simply doing what you have taken for granted your entire life.
If you're not gay, the solution is simple - don't hold hands with someone of the same sex. It's not rocket science. |

My son has no problems where we live, there are a few small minded people in the village but, nothing to worry about. I worry when he goes into the towns or cities clubbing though, there are still a lot of nasty ignorant intolerant people around. It's just one more thing as a parent to be concerned about! |

I did have a cream tea once and the service was bordering on aggressive. I merely commented that they’d got the cream and jam wrong way round.
Whenever I am in Cornwall I have my cream tea the Devon way and visa versa when in Devon. People can get wound up by the silliest of things. I take great pleasure from it and as of yet have never had anyone get physical with me over it
I’m from plymouth, the very edge of Devon but I have mine the Cornish way. I think most of the people I know do. It’s not really a thing that many people get wound up about.
Lucky for me...but people do judge!
How someone pronounces the word scone is a different story, haha. "
At that point I just walk away! If I want service...I just point at the menu. |

"Lol where the fuck is everyone living?.
I live in a smallish village on the outskirts of Manchester and there's at least 3 openly gay couples and yes they hold hands in public.
I was traveling through ramsbottom the other day and blimey there was even gay couples holding hands there as well, mind you it is 2018
There’s only one gay in the village....
That's because there is at least 6 in Alberts village, more than the alloted quota surely...stop hogging all the gays Albert .
I think it's just a sign of the changing times, most people couldn't care less, there more interested in wether your a decent neighbour then gay or straight!.
Although let's be honest, your far more likely to be beaten up for various reasons in those lovely diverse, cosmopolitan, open and tolerant city's than you are in any English village, so maybe they've just realised that the best place to hold hands is there
My son has no problems where we live, there are a few small minded people in the village but, nothing to worry about. I worry when he goes into the towns or cities clubbing though, there are still a lot of nasty ignorant intolerant people around. It's just one more thing as a parent to be concerned about!"
.
I don't blame you, if I had kids I wouldn't let them anywhere near any city in Britain, there hell holes of intolerance |

"If they don't hold hands in public, how will everyone know they're gay? It's a conundrum.
They all wear pink.
Ah, gay camouflage
What about the small fluffy dogs with the diamante collars - are they mandatory?"
Yep and they must be carried in handbags or no more gay sexing for those blokes. No handbag - no cock. |

"Doesn't bother me as long as I don't see them sucking cock in public"
That's good. Shame the same cannot be said for the rest of your townsfolk, especially the one convicted of being a homophobic terrorist for plotting to butcher the town's first Pride event with machettes. |

I find the whole anthropological aspect of the subject matter of this thread interesting.
Two males holding hands in a Christian country where homosexuality is not illegal are assumed to be 'gay'. Two males holding hands in an Islamic country (for example - other countries and faiths apply) where homosexuality is regarded as illegal and an 'abomination'punishable by death are assumed to be 'friends'.
It could be argued that two women holding hands anywhere are assumed to be 'friends' or 'family members'.
Just ruminating out loud really. |

I can never remember which way is which. It's been a while since I had a scone (rhymes with the emphasis on the o). I think I would have jam then cream? |

Part of being a parent is learning to let go, it helps them to flourish. Doesn't stop the worry. luckily 99% of people are ok and, even most homophobes are just vocal and no physical threat. |

This one isn't. I live in a bedsit in a "rough" part of a city of half a million people. I live 24/7 as a tgirl and rarely get any intolerance from people. Now and again some idiot kicks off, but on the whole it's quite the opposite. |

"Honestly outside of Brighton and 'gay quarters' in the big cities like Vauxhall, Soho, Hurst Street I don't think I have ever really seen men holding hands unless it was pride weekend or at a gig/festival where most people wouldn;t care
Yeah, thats why wondered what the fuck is going on, maybe they’re like buses, I probably won’t see it again for years.
So do you not like gay people and transvestites then. It seems such a strange heading in this day and age. I've never seen the lgbt community called buses before. You do realise it's not against the law for men or women or transvestites to hold hands with people they are in love with
I’ve never seen gay men holding hands down here, then I see three in a matter of weeks, surely you’ve heard the saying about buses ‘You wait ages for one and then three turn up at once’
I have no opinion of gays or transvestites and yes I’m fully aware it’s not against the law for them to hold hands, it was merely an observation.
I was just observing you too and your comments. I don't suppose there are many Jews and blacks down your way so do you point them out as well.

I eat it the Cornish way which is jam then cream but I’m from Devon. The cream tea originates from Devon so therefore the Devonian way should be correct. |

No, you treat the cream like butter. Tbh, I grew up eating it with butter, then jam and then cream. You put clotted cream on everything at parties including jam tarts. I would often have a Jam and cream sandwich. No wonder heart disease is so high in that part of the country. |

We did consider going back there to live but decided it was a better holiday destination for us than a home.

Clotted cream doesn't crush. Cream first, acting like butter but much thicker, then a dollop of jam.

A trans friend described the latest frenzy as akin to being gay in the '80s and early '90s. Sadly, with some of the gay community adding to the transphobic noise.
I keep meaning to start a drawbridge thread.

A trans friend described the latest frenzy as akin to being gay in the '80s and early '90s. Sadly, with some of the gay community adding to the transphobic noise.
I keep meaning to start a drawbridge thread.
Along with all the intolerance and in-fighting about who is or isn't allowed to call themselves trans
What's a drawbridge thread anyway? "
I started it. I'm having a *debate* with someone. |

"Well this thread has been an eye-opener and no mistake. Honestly, I am shocked.
I had no idea there were different ways of doing a cream tea.
No there's only one way don't worry. Jam on then cream. Scone like gone.
I eat it the Cornish way which is jam then cream but I’m from Devon. The cream tea originates from Devon so therefore the Devonian way should be correct.
But the jam will crush the cream.
If you put the jam on first, how would that crush the cream?
She meant if you do it the Devon way, cream then Jam. "
No I read it wrong.  The sun was in my eyes. Honest. |
