Hell yes, I cant go into my local shops without someone yelling out "faggot", "gay c*nt" and so on. It sucks

It is all location specific. Some areas will be more accepting than others. Where I am at I have walked around holding hands with my ex-boyfriend and didn't really have any problems but you have to be careful. Those who are homophobic can get extremely violent at times depending on how deeply they feel about the issue. There is really no way to know how each person will react. If you see someone who is uncomfortable with it then move on, if you see someone who is acting up about it, it may be in your best interest for both you and your boyfriend to stop what you are doing in order to calm the person and then move to a different location, you don't want to get involved in anything violent. Unfortunaly the world has not COMPLETELY acceptetd homosexuals and the like of all things different, hopefully that will not always be the case...

i see it every day where i live. everytime someone says "that's so gay" i wanna vomit. it's a crappy world we live in sometimes.

Well, no not when I'm alone. But when I'm with my boyfriend (and we look like we're together) then, yes, all the time. But I pay no pass to it, either does he.

I feel the same way - My 'friends' say it all the time and it really pisses me off!! ;)

i feel it all matters on where you are. me and my boyfriend do it all the time and we get nothing. well sometimes get looks, but im not gunna let someone looking at me hurt me. i think its alot more accepted where i live, but maybe in other areas its not. just be careful and be aware of your surroundings. like michael said if someone is acting up just stop and get away. besides that dont let looks or words crush you.
