Yes, there are heterosexual men that find this "disturbing" and will find it that way in 25 years.

But I know my two nephews, both very much heterosexual, have seen me and my partner kiss at family events and they think absolutely nothing of it. Yes, they are in their 20's.

But remember that a few decades ago there would be men and women that shuddered at the sight of interracial couples kissing and holding hands.

This too will change. There will always be freaks that haven't accepted change but the majority of even heterosexual men will say, "what's the big deal" as long as he doesn't want to get it on with me!!!
