I didn't mean to dismiss lesbians concerns for their personal safety where displays of affection are concerned. Those concerns are quite real and shouldn't be overlooked Now that I read it, I know that some substantial revisions are in order. So my New Year's resolution is to do better when I post something similar next year. Meanwhile, I've placed an update to the end of the post. Next year's version will be different. Thanks.
