The fanatic/exception to the rule argument means little when their commonplace public display is forced down my throat. If I grabbed my wife like that in public, I would be arrested.

Actually I don't know if my friend or cousin participate in things like that. I have not seen my friend in a bunch of years now, and only see my cousin at the occassional family reunion or funeral lately. I suppose that they might act like goof balls in public, but they act like normal people when I have seen them.
The closest that I have come to seeing something like you mention was
back in the mid-1980's I remember being in Philadelphia and was walking downtown and went past a theater that was hosting a gay film festival. My friends and I were on the other side of the street. I don't remember what the gay folk were doing, but there were a bunch of bikers around behind police and police tape threatening the people going to the theater. I'm glad I was on the other side of the street. The bikers were scary, that's what I remember.
