I know I have a fair few Gay and even more Metrosexual readers, so I thought I would run this one past my readership.
In the past few weeks I have noticed more random acts of light-but-unambiguous intimacy between same sex couples in random not-gay-specific places than I think I have ever done in my life - a few weeks ago, I was a bus going through Brixton, I noticed two women leave a kebab shop and exchange a kiss. A few days later, two men walking into the Coliseum exchange squeezes. That same night on the bus, a man kissed his partner's forehead. A few days later, two middle-aged women holding hands as they walked down Whitehall. On Monday, two men careesiing on the Terrace at Covent Garden. On Wednesday two men holding hands in the Coliseum.
I can't believe that, suddenly, I've started noticing something I've been oblivious to for years.
