OK Sky, you're in a rural area where, according to you, there have been more instances of harassment of gays than in urban areas you have lived in. It might not make sense for 2 "targets" to walk the street, holding hands. Yes, I know. It's not fair. Life rarely is. If you want to be a victim, by all means, broadcast to the world that you are a lesbian. If you don't want wackos to harass you, don't flaunt your homosexuality. Save it for when you are in a safe place.
You have an ignorant view, Ernie. We are not targets or victims. There is absolutely nothing wrong with two women holding hands. We did not provoke this attack in any way.
I live openly as a lesbian to honor my father, who lived his life miserably, in the closet, until he committed suicide.
I'm sorry you don't understand how important it is for gay people to be visible. This is how we change attitudes.
We have had a TON of support from our neighbors who heard about what happened. They like us and want us to feel safe and to stay as their friends and neighbors.
Your attitude is out of date.

Noooooo sky My attitude is not out of date. The man who attacked you is the problem here. What I'm saying is that you never know when you will encounter him or people like him. Had you and your lady not been holding hands, he probably would have ignored you.
Fine! You want to be open about your sexuality. There's really nothing wrong with that. I for one would prefer this incident never repeats itself. I'm offering advise that might help to that end.
You are making it sound like we are responsible for his attack. We aren't. Holding hands has nothing to do with sexuality. We weren't making out or fucking.
I will not be unnaturally unaffectionate. I'm a huggy, kissy kind of gal. I hold hands with all my friends, male and female.
