I love to hold hands with my partner, put my arm around them, maybe steal a quick kiss, but not all the time. I am affectionate, and I don't hide who I am, in public or anywhere else, because I am not ashamed.

However, some people feel the need to hang all over each other and make out in public, and I find that distasteful, whether you are straight or gay.

As a femme, I can't speak to what is more prevalent among butches, but I have experienced backlash for holding hands in public, and in my experience, it's usually directed at the couple, not just one member of it. I don't mind being harassed for being with the person I love - I came out in the BFE of rural Oklahoma - those fuckers don't scare me.
