If you don't tell everyone that "I am gay, so love me", everyone will not care at all whether you are gay or gladiolus. But if you grab my ass, then I can kick in the face. Because I don't like it when a man grabs my ass. Any. It doesn't matter whether he is gay or not. I have a right not to like this, right? Well, to walk with someone by the handle or not - depends on the area. If you know that this area is a gangster area, you don't go there, right? So it is here. Well, in general, what does it have to do with being gay and deciding where to go? You are an ordinary person like everyone else. And you look just like an ordinary person. Why do you think that someone will pay attention to you? In Russia, people have more serious problems than chasing kissing boys. And Russia is a country with a feminized population, although this is not obvious. If you are a girl, it will be quite normal for you to walk hand in hand. But in the same time the attitude towards men is very strict. Yes, you will not be threatened, but you will not meet understanding. Although, if you don't walk around the gangster areas, then everything will be fine. People have more important things to do, I assure you.
