Ugh, this makes me want to run for office in the US...a little. Over here, the latest trend in kissing salutations falls on totally straight men. First, following women, they started to kiss 2x cheeks (3x in the Netherlands but no one knows why) and now they are doing a peck on the lips. Everyone does it, there's no rolled eyes or reaction. Kissing all sexes all combinations, don't matta, Mad Hatta!

I try to ignore what goes on in Hollywood! I think women who kiss each other to turn men on are pretty sad but the men who get turned on by it are even sadder. Other than that I am all for kissing and displays of affection - there just isn't enough love in the world huh?!

Neither one of these offend me. I guess for me its more where the kissing is taking place and in what vain it is in. I didn't like the kiss between Madonna and was it Britney because to me it was just meant to be shocking and they tounged each other. So I was like what ever, don't mock something that is taken seriously between people that really care about each other no matter what their sex because what you two are doing is just for shock value and so obvious so like WHAT-EVER! Ha, I am offended by people no matter what sex they are that go beyond a simple kiss and are basically making out and going for first base in public. You know one of those Go Get A Room Moments. These pics of same sex couples are showing one of those face press kisses. So its kinda like the A frame hug, ya know, I'm hugging ya but not pressing all my body parts together with ya, LOL. Kinda like the safe let me show ya I love ya, safe for public viewing kinda kiss. Like what cats do when they come up and rub their face on ya to mark ya or something, LOL : )

Just looking at the photos - I didn't feel one way or the other. I mean they both didn't phase me.
Interesting point in the article, as soon as I saw Tila's name, I said yuck! She is sooo I dunno.. yuck.
To answer your question, I can't stand public displays of affection as well, but however when you take it down a notch and think about women holding hands or folding arms while walking, it's endearing - I don't think I would label a sexual orientation to it. Now, if I saw two men about the same age arms folded together, I might label them.
However, I don't pay too much attention to it.

Kissing is always good in my book.

I have no opinion. One is not better than the other. It just is. I do know that is is more socially acceptable to see womens affection rather than mens. Personally I am not a fan of overly public displays of affection.. so it all would not settle with me in public, straight or gay. (a peck and hand holding is fine, just not making out)

the only semi-relevant thing I can think of is that given two such pics I'm more drawn to the men kissing. I think that may be because I have this bias that I've known some women to feign such public passion for the drama of it, or to titilate straight men. it would be rare for the same to be said of men. so I guess I see the pic of the men as being more of a genuine display of love/passion. but that's a bias too. I wouldn't normally be all judgey but you asked!
I know that when women have kissed me in public, for the most part, they have been straight and trying to get a rise out of the watching men. the one and only time *I* kissed a woman passionately in public was when I felt totally moved by lust and just didn't care who was watching. it's rare for me to feel lust for a woman, only the once that I remember. I don't think I'm qualified to lodge an opinion of the bi-issue, but I tend to fall more on the all-straight or all-gay side.

It does not offend me in the least. I think its lovely to be able to share that you love someone.

Women who kiss women in mainstream clubs are usually doing it for the worst reason - to get the attention of sleazy straight guys or to get the approval of their grubby straight boyfriends. These women are no different from whores. Keep in mind that women generally tend to use their sexuality as a marketing ploy, hence this bi-faker trend in women. I know a lot of gay people who are getting REALLY annoyed with these women.
Overall, I think genuine bisexuality is just as common in men as it is in women. It only appears there are more bi women because of the double standard that young people have. The porn industry has contributed to the double standard as it mainstreams female bisexuality but marginalizes male bisexuality.
