PDA - Are gay couples still harassed for being an Out gay couple ?

[brnbk]

The couple in this video was harassed in Jackson Hole, WY, for just doing what a straight couple had done before them — showing affection for each other and letting society know that they are together — through a PDA - public display of affection. Where they right in doing so?

I was surprised when I visited Mexico City.  Lots of gays holding hands in the city.  Seems like a gay-friendly town

No surprise to me - a close relative lives just up the road from J.H., I've visited, and I wouldn't live there for love nor money.  One morning I woke up to find a gigantic* moose staring in the window at me.  Oh - and there's a grand total of 6 weeks of summer.  

*I mean, as big as a medium-sized, 6-passenger car

To the OP though, a lot of the answer depends on the location.  The responses would be different from different parts of the country.  Some parts of the country wouldn't blink twice at PDA in public spaces - other places, not so much.  

In major metro areas, public displays of affection (depending on how "graphic" they are, obviously) would barely be noticed.  In others, the most innocuous, limited expressions would be demeaned. 

I think each guy has to sniff this one out for himself; there isn't any cut-and-dried answer.
