I have neither more nor less problem with gay people kissing in pubs (or in public) than anyone else. @Dave - Magic Ashes series and I have been able to watch on TV in daytime ...

Thanks, Wondering, Another useful page. However, I do like EOD and one of its strengths, to me, is that it is used by people of all ages. Don
