Transitioning from male to female
What if someone does not want to see peyots or yarmulke being worn in a restaurant, they might say it is unnatural.

How would you respond to seeing a same-sex couple kissing/ or holding hands ?

Yeah, I'm English and a public display of affection would put me right off my fish-and-chip supper.
I almost never notice, and really couldn't care less. Same goes for heterosexual displays of affection/sexuality: don't generally notice and never really care.

You will be assimilated; it is His Will.
It can also be one of the worst if the person you see is doing something wrong and you turn a blind eye to it...

The thing is is that it is extremely inane to think that people don't know that some consider it wrong. That there are religions out there that teach against it. Saying anything to a gay couple kissing to "enlighten" them of their wrong doing is much the same as just walking up to an obese person and saying "Hey! Did you know that you're fat and that's not good? Here's all the ways it is bad for you. You shouldn't be fat." As if fat people don't know they are fat and the issues with being fat. Do people actually think homosexuals haven't heard it all before? Does anyone really think they are helping anyone by confronting them with their "wrongdoing"? Unless it is a drug intervention...the general rule is to butt out.

depends on whether the wrong thing is something that affects you or others...

So, prejudice? Or, do you have reasoning beyond dogmatic beliefs.

Fair, but you have to be willing to recognize that others feel just as strongly that attitude is wrong. And they might vocalize that.

Is kissing in public wrong?

The first time I saw a same sex couple sharing a public display of affection, I was at a tourist attraction filled with all kinds of people.
The two men in question were rather passionate about the deep kiss they were sharing. I remember my reaction was that my eyebrows shot up in surprise. I hadn't seen such a thing (both the PDA and the fact that it was shared with people of the same sex) in real life before.
My second reaction was to shrug, and I thought, "It takes all kinds."
That was my gut reaction.

I wouldn't outwardly respond at all because I am very non-confrontational in public, but if they are kissing excessively, I might be a little grossed out, so internally, I'd be cringing. Not because they are both men or both women, but because anyone sucking on someone else's face is pretty gross. Any couple who wants to kiss in public needs to keep it short and consice. Give each other a quick little kiss. Don't full-on make out in the middle of a restaurant. Gross. They can hold hands all they want though. If you can't do it on a kids show, don't do it in public. Public is full of children and people like me who hate seeing gross grown-up relationship nonsense.

I think over here it's considered more appropriate for female friends to hold each other's hands casually. I do it all the time with my sister. We do get strange looks sometimes though.. I'm not sure most male friends/brothers would feel confident to do the same thing without being ridiculed for it.
I dont know where you live, but I know it varies widely around the world. I just think it is a nice thing to do, a little contact in a nonsexual way. Not a big deal, just a little unfortunate.

I agree. Holding hands is sweet. I prefer hugs though.

I can't actually stand anyone in public pashing up with sloppy kisses, be that gay or strait, vomit material.
