    It’s kind of funny, but also holding someone’s hand does not mean you are sexually attracted to them. It’s kind of heteronormative assuming someone is homosexual because they hold the hand of someone of the same sex. Don’t impose your norms of self expression to others…

      Holding hands? Not really sexual.

      Clasping hands and grinding your groin on their hip, back arched? That’s a bit sexual.

      Not trying to force societal norms on anyone, but I knows a PDA when I sees it

          Broke: “Holding your bro’s hand is gay.”

          Woke: “Holding your bro’s hand isn’t gay.”

          Bespoke: “Who cares if holding your bro’s hand is gay, mf societal norms ain’t gonna trap my love for my bro”

          My observation has little to nothing to do with that.

      “No you see, you guys are the problem”

      -Any time you try to add queer subtext in a heteronormative world.

      I think it’s just an old Soviet statue commemorating troops of WW2, so no one in particular, probably.

      But it’s quite clear that they were c o m r a d e s. Maybe even roommates. Wh-what if we held hands and shared a post-war khrushchevka? Jk jk! Unless…? 😳

      Pretty sure it’s China, or it’s a very niche thing from homosexual communities. I’m Russian and never heard of this
