I have a question. [View all]

First of all if this question is inappropriate I apologize and the mods please delete.

I will say that my knowledge of the LGBT community is limited. I have had several friends in the military who entrusted me with their careers before DADT was ended. We never really talked about lifestyles though. Never crossed my mind to be honest, they were in my mind no different than Joe Schmoe or Betty Boop.

Now to my question. My wife and I were driving in Cookeville, Tn. and stopped at a light. Two males and a female were walking on the sidewalk readying to cross the street. The two males were holding hands and obviously a couple. One of the guys was really flamboyant, strutting, sucking on a lollipop, really exaggerated hand motions and walk.

Is this real, or more of a F.U. to people who are opposed to the LGBT life.

Again, if this question offends, please delete. I am just curious to the flamboyance, and it never crossed my mind to ask until yesterday.
