Do I deserve to be spat on for saying this to a gay person?

[Rensenhito]

Well, those guys were being complete douches / drama queens. If it had been a guy and a girl making out, I could still see someone asking them to stop. After all, it's INCEPTION.
So yeah, the papers are wrong, your friend was right. Unless there's something he's not telling you.

I don't like seeing people kiss in public either. I feel awkward like I've intruded on a private, personal moment even though there doing it in public for all to see. They had no right to be so disrespecting of you and your friend. Your friend wasn't being rude he had every right to ask them to stop.

This is more of a PDA issue than a homosexuality/homophobia issue.
Me and my girlfriend frown on PDA so we avoid kissing in movie theaters unless we're out of visibility or noone is around.
If you would have had the same reaction to a heterosexual couple making out, you're cool.
If you would have accepted a heterosexual couple making out but reacted this way in this scenario you're a bigot.
Regardless, the homosexual who spat at you was an asshole and should probably face assault charges or a good punch to the face.

ugh happend to me aswell, only it was a guy and a gal. i was going to see the A-TEAM,and this couple made out right at the beggining of an awsome action scene. me and me frind said, give it a rest will ye? were not in a fucking porno theatre. well, agian resulted in a small brawl, ( im in ireland) and luckily no newspaper got hold of the story SINCE NOBODY SAW THE BLOODY FIGHT OK


anywhoo, yeah, your frind did not deserve it. those two could atleast get a room, and not do it in a bloody cinema.

I have a gay friend who would most likely have agreed with your friend. He hates it when anybody makes out in public, no matter their sex, the only exception is probably at a bar or club where acting out is usually accepted.

It's kind of like when I got in a fight with a black guy, I got pinned by some people as being racist, but not him... noooo, he was just figting to protect himself. People are so quick to throw the race card or the homophobia card or the sexist card, it frankly disgusts me. Usually if I give you a hard time or something it most likely has nothing to do with the fact you ahve a different skin color, have a vagina, or like to kiss other men....it's probably because you are an asshole and I don't like you as a person in general.

So no, you guys were not in the wrong. The fact that they were gay should have not been the issue. Ans spittting on someone is technically assault.

 

[inFAMOUSCowZ]

It'd be no different if you saw a guy and a girl making out in front of you in the movies. So as long as your friend said to stop it as nice as you said, I'd say he was in the right.

Your friend was assaulted. Simple as that.

Whether or not he would have said the same thing to a m/f or f/f or ?/? couple sitting infront of him sucking face might determine what degree of prejudice he may personally have. But what he said in no way justified any sort of physical attack and it is ridiculous to believe any other way.

I am not a fan of seeing people being very intimate in public places and I believe it is reasonable not to subject others to full on tongue-snogging. I don't care what gender you are, lick each other's face at home or, if you must do it at a cinema then the back row is traditional and other people won't have to watch/listen.

 

[WanderingFool]

I honestly would have slugged any sucker desturbing a movie. Whether its two guys kissing, a girl on her cell (I have a funny story about that, maybe another time), or just someone being a general d-bag.

 

[Woodsey]

Well, let's just pretend that your friend's versions of events aren't biased in any way; in which case, that would not be fair for him to be spat on.

Other than that, I can't comment because I don't know the full story.

i dotn mind gays but what i do mind is when they are open so much about it they waltz around with a high voice comenting on everything like a woman would, that annoys me because no one needs to act like that and thats what i call being a douche

That's called being camp - it's not exclusively linked to being gay.

 

[monstersquad]

Making out in a movie theatre is rude, no matter who is doing it. I hope the spitter got his face smashed in, because that is the most vile, disrepectful and dangerous form of physical assault there is. Who knows what diseases could have been transmitted from one complete stranger to the next?

 

[GeneralDefiance]

Definately no need for the spitting, someone posted earlier that it was the single most degrading act you can do with little effort, and i agree (unless you count being taken to a twilight movie HI-OOOO!!)

Some people will find any excuse to use there Sexual status, Ability/Disability, Age...etc,etc, as a justification for rudeness or arrogance to turn the high ground back to them as they clearly feel though they are empowering them selves by doing it even though it shows a clear sign of an insecurity.

Ive pulled a 40 year old man away from beating up a teenager in a cinema because his friends and him were talking and using mobile phones right behind the guy..he asked them several times to stop..that kid definately lost teeth im sure. Inconsiderate on the teens part? yep. Overreaction by the man? yep.

Different situation, similar outcome...lets see if we can build a pattern here.

 

[Dfskelleton]

I can understand your friend. Homosexuals are commonly discriminated against, and I don't have anything against them, but what your friend did was generally polite and not discrimination. It was the other guy who overreacted. Your friend didn't do anything wrong, but maybe a poor choice of words.

 

[esin]

Yeah, spitter was a douche,but as hard as it may be please don't let it color your perception of gays in general.

 

[bam13302]

they were out of line in my opinion

 

[Booze Zombie]

If you would've told a straight couple to stop making out, too, then I don't see anything wrong with it.

You can't have exceptions to a rule, you either go through with it all the way or you don't.

 

[lokun489]

he's just rude your friend did nothing wrong at all.
