Here’s a serious quote:

For same-sex couples, taking a lover’s hand is almost never an unself-conscious choice. You have to think about where you are, whether you’re safe, and you have to look. By the time you determine you’re safe, you’re not even sure you want to hold hands anymore. The genuine moment has passed, but you’ve invested so much energy and angst that now you can’t not take your lover’s hand. You wind up holding and the only reason you take your lover’s hand is to prove that you can.

I, personally, always encounter extremes when it comes to Queers and their PDA. Either I’m at a gay party and a lesbian is all over me or some other lesbian, or you wouldn’t even know two lesbians/other gay people were a couple because they refuse to touch each other. Very rarely do I see non-hetero couples simply holding hands in public, as straight people do.

In other news, this whole “cooking-for-one” thing is harder than it looks. Either I cook wayyyy too much or not enough at all.
