I’m not a big fan of straight people holding hands or kissing in public. Like, i support people doing things like that in the privacy of their home, but they don’t need to force themselves upon is and shove their straightness down our throats. Essentially, I don’t think straight people should be able to openly exist in public, since their existence is forcing it down our throats, so they should just go back into the closet.

It does make me a little uncomfortable to see intimate displays of affection in public. It doesn't matter if it's straight or gay or whatever.
That obviously should have no effect on them. I have gotten comfortable with the discomfort, which is what people should generally do. It's not their problem to deal with, it's mine.

As my views matured, I’ve grown to realize that forcing people to comply with the comfort of people is inherently oppressive, and that when I’m in public, I’m not entitled to complete comfort.
