I agree, but it's worth mentioning that there are non-religious people that are just as ignorant, as well as religious people that support the cause (or don't pay attention either way).
But yeah, I never understood why it should bother anyone. I have to admit, I used to be yokel enough that on the rare occasion that saw same-sex displays of affection publicly, it would distract me a little. Not in a "oh, I hate those guys" way, but it was just something I was not used to seeing I guess. For lack of a better term, I guess I would say that I found it strange. I am totally over that now and I suppose awareness was probably key to that.
