any gay couple holding hands in public who caught me staring at you: i’m not homophobic, i’m gay and jealous
When I was with a woman, we couldn’t hold hands because it wasn’t allowed. We linked elbows a lot, and got away with it because we were young, but school administrators frowned on that, and told us, I’m not making this up, to maintain at least six inches between ourselves. They backed down from that when it was pointed out that everyone else linked elbows all the time too, and it would call more attention to us if we didn’t. But we certainly weren’t allowed to hold hands.
Now I’m with a man who doesn’t like holding hands. I can only get him to link elbows with me if I’m wearing very high heels and he admits I need to hang onto him so he remembers not to stride off without me. (I normally walk fast. I can’t, in very high heels.) But he won’t hold my hand. He just doesn’t like it.
I’ve convinced myself that I never really wanted to hold hands with anyone anyway. But. I do sometimes stare. Sorry.
