SOURCE: GETTY IMAGIMAGE YOU AND YOUR SWEETIE A BAR, ENJOYG A BEER OR TWO, LISTENG TO MIC. YOU PUT YOUR ARMS AROUND EACH OTHER, YOU HUG; MAYBE YOU GIVE EACH OTHER A QUICK KISS. NO BIG AL, RIGHT? UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN TO SAME-SEX UPL, THAT'S TOO OFTEN NOT THE SE, BEE EVEN A SIMPLE KISS MAY BE VIEWED AS PROVOTIVE OR FLNTG. WHEN DID A KISS STOP BEG A KISS?CASE POT: DT BAKER AND ANDREW DERAS GOT THEMSELV TO A PECK O' TROUBLE RECENTLY AT LOUIE'S SPORTS BAR & TIKI BAR FAYETTEVILLE, NC, WHERE THEY HAD GONE TO HEAR A BAND.

BAKER NTUED THEIR NARRATIVE A LENGTHY POST ON YELP: "OUT OF NOWHERE THIS WOMAN [WHO TURNED OUT WAS THE BAR OWNER] UP TO A BATIVELY MANDG MANOR & TELLS ANDREW HE NEEDS TO BACK UP OFF OF ME THIS VERY SEND. 'DO WHAT YOU'D LIKE ON YOUR OWN TIME, BUT NOT HERE. THIS IS NOT RIGHT!' "FROM THERE, LET'S JT SAY WENT DOWNHILL, ALTHOUGH THE PRECISE CHRONOLOGY IS HAZY. FROM PUBLISHED REPORTS, BAKER AND DERAS KISSED AGA, CLAIMG THEIR RIGHT TO DO SO. BAR OWNER PAM GRIFF REPORTEDLY TOLD THEM TO LEAVE BEE THEY WERE "MAKG PEOPLE FEEL UNFORTABLE," ADDG, "THIS IS A STRAIGHT BAR." THE GUYS PAID THEIR TAB AND LEFT. END OF STORY?

BUT I'M REMD OF WHAT OLIVER WENLL HOLM SR - THE RENOWNED PHYSICIAN, POET AND FATHER OF THE SUPREME COURT JTICE - ONCE SAID: "THE SOUND OF A KISS IS NOT SO LOUD AS THAT OF A NNON, BUT S ECHO LASTS A GREAT AL LONGER."ALTHOUGH SAME-SEX MARRIAGE IS LEGAL ALL 50 STAT, 28 OF THEM, CLUDG THE TAR HEEL STATE, "LACK A PUBLIC ACMODATNS STATUTE CLIVE OF SEXUAL ORIENTATN AND GENR INTY," SAID CHRISTOPHER BROOK, LEGAL DIRECTOR OF THE AMERIN CIVIL LIBERTI UNN OF NORTH CAROLA. IN OTHER WORDS, THE BAR OWNER WAS WH HER LEGAL RIGHT TO ASK THE GAY UPLE TO LEAVE FOR THEIR ALLEGED PUBLIC-DISPLAY-OF-AFFECTN ACTN.APPARENTLY, PUBLIC DISPLAYS OF LGBT AFFECTN STRIKE A STRAIGHT NERVE. JT LAST MONTH, A SAME-SEX UPLE WERE ASKED TO LEAVE A TEXAS PUBLIC POOL WHEN A LIFEGUARD TOLD THEM KISSG WAS NOT PERMTED, ALTHOUGH STRAIGHT SWIMMERS APPARENTLY KISS WHOUT FEAR OF BEG THROWN OUT. A FEW YEARS AGO, "L-WORD" ACTRS LEISHA HAILEY WAS EJECTED OM A SOUTHWT FLIGHT AFTER KISSG HER GIRLIEND. SHE TWEETED: "FLT. ATTENDANT SAID THAT WAS A 'FAY' AIRLE AND KISSG WAS NOT OK." SOUTHWT RPOND THAT THE CINT WAS "BASED SOLELY ON BEHAVR AND NOT GENR."IF ONLY. "I THK EVERYTHG GAY PEOPLE DO IS POLICISED," SAID SHANNON GILREATH, A PROFSOR OF LAW AT WAKE FORT UNIVERSY. "EVERY NORMAL, TENR MOMENT IS POLICISED AS A PROVOTN - A NONTATN. TO RELIG NSERVATIV . . . THERE'S NO SUCH THG AS A 'SMALL' DISPLAY OF HOMOSEXUALY.

EVEN AMONG GAY AND LBIAN UPL THERE IS SOME DISFORT WH THE IA OF SAME-SEX KISSG PUBLIC, WHETHER 'S BEE OF FEAR OF VLENCE OR TERNALIZED HOMOPHOBIA. SO WHAT'S GOG ON HERE?"THERE'S A HUGE DOUBLE STANDARD THAT GO WELL BEYOND PUBLIC DISPLAYS OF AFFECTN," GILREATH SAYS. "THE REALY IS THAT STRAIGHT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT AND DISPLAY THEIR SEXUAL ORIENTATN SO EQUENTLY THAT THEY DON'T EVEN REALISE THEY ARE DOG ."READ MORESAME SEX MARRIAGE ULD GENERATE UP TO $1 BILLN FIRST 12 MONTHS, REPORT SAYSYOU MIGHT NOT REALISE , BUT -YOUR-FACE DISPLAYS OF HETEROSEXUALY ARE EVERYWHERE - THE FAY PHOTO ON A SK, THE MAN AND WOMAN HOLDG HANDS ON THE BEACH, OR AN OPPOSE-SEX UPLE KISSG A BAR. NO ONE ACC THE UPL OF "FLNTG" THEIR SEXUALY, BUT MAKE TWO MEN OR TWO WOMEN THE PHOTO HOLDG HANDS OR SMOOCHG, THEN WE'VE CROSSED THE LE.

Is okay to show public affectn if you are gay? When the women refed, the group began to ll them homophobic slurs, and the event lated to the pot where the two women were btally beaten.
Ined, news stori about gay male upl beg attacked for holdg hands or kissg public are not equent. Homosexual acts Dubai are unlawful and are likely to lead to severe punishment.
