Hi Amir, It's not me who made a homophobic comment, it is how the country tgat I pive in sees two males. I have several gay friends so PLEASE DO NOT take a rant on me by starting a topic that has no base.
I simply wanted to point out how an innocent gesture of one culture could be perceived in another. And for that same reason, I never even once mentioned that touching a shoulder or holding hands is wrong. My point was for those who find it offending and I mentioned that everyone should be tolerant. If you missed it in the email, I would request you to reread.
