i didn't see the scene.
but as described, it was a kiss.

not a penetration scene.
not a blow job.
a g or maybe pg-13 rated kiss.

it's probably not the act that grossed them out.
unless they are super-puritanical Christians, or squirmish 12 yr olds,
the fact that two humans kissing is not what grossed them out.

it's probably the fact that two dudes were kissing that grossed them out.
and what's more, there's a decent chance that it was more than the "grossness" of it
is not all that got them to vocalize their disapproval.

there is at least a reasonable chance that they also wanted
the entire theatre to know that they, as as straight ppl, disapproved of
this pearl clutching scene.

which is fine, really.


but nobody is asking ppl to get "turned on" by gay ppl kissing.
