Either he's good but not all-powerful, and thus NOT a god. Or he's all-powerful and not good, and thus a REALLY SHITTY god. Wake up people.

Yesterday my friend Mei and I decided to ride the train to Chicago to meet up with my guy Steve and spend some time on the beach. Mei and I got on the train and decided to take seats on the second level because there weren't as many people up there. During our trip, I heard the men behind us talking about how "God is love and he's coming to save us etc." The children who were with them ran back and forth around the train and were generally making all the other passengers miserable with their obnoxious behavior.
Fast forward to the beach and the above photo.
Steve had arrived and I was greeting him with a simple little peck on the lips. There was no tongue involved, no groping, no penis on display, just a kiss and a hug. Mei decided to document the meeting with a picture that really couldn't have been timed any better.
Just as I'm leaning away from the kiss with my shit-eating "this-guy-makes-me-happy" grin on my face (see above), I hear "HEY! Do you guys mind?"
My thoughts went immediately to what the probable cause of this interjection was: He's mad that two men are kissing, even though there are plenty of hetero couples engaged in far more lewd acts all around us. My very automatic, and very immature response was to flip the guy off while i leaned in for another kiss (again, see above). I promise I didn't realize his kids were right there, or I would have tried to refrain from flipping the bird.
Anyway, after another quick peck, Steve decides to ask what the problem is.
Douche-bag guy (who, it just so happens, is the same "god is love" guy we rode on the train with) says that he doesn't want his children to see "that type of thing."
Steve asks if the fact that there are hetero couples engaging in much worse PDA offends him and douche-bag guy responds with "Well, that's different."

I was offended, but not necessarily surprised, and decided to just remove myself from the situation. Steve did the same, but we both had to physically restrain Mei so that she wouldn't go and punch the man in his face. We commiserated with her that we were indeed upset, mostly about the fact that douche-bag's children are probably going to grow up just as intolerant as him. We told her there wasn't anything she could do that would change his mind, and we decided to pack up and leave the beach in favor of more friendly locations.

I'm just sad that I still have to deal with this stuff. I'm not "flaunting my sexuality," or "corrupting the youth." I'm simply giving my boyfriend a kiss after he's been at work all day. I know my reaction wasn't the most mature thing I could have done, but I'm at a loss as to what would have helped.

Thoughts?
