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.

I have gotten comfortable with the discomfort… 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.
