Why is that very offensive I dont get it? I can kinda understand a gay person being slightly peeved off if someone reacted like that in the street after a quick snog, but how/why would that offend the average joe?

Because it is offensive to another human being,Its like saying YOU make me sick.
Ziggy and Chanelle get a completely different reaction.
Gay men and women are average joes,its just they fancy different sexes

Although directly it isnt really my business I dont dont like to see people being attacked for no reason at all.
I am going to sticking my neck out here a bit though when I say Im not sure what I think of seeing two men kissing.
There is no reason at all why two men shouldnt show their feelings in public just the same as anyone else but because I personally dont see other men as being remotely sexual my reaction is a bit like "Ewww, that isnt for me" just as it can be with other sexual things I dont personally 100% relate with.
Ofcourse there is no reason why anyone needs to watch something if they feel uncomfortable (when Laura saw Ziggy and Channelle kissing she walked away, though she did say "disgusting" which seems equally offensive really) and in the end of the day its an issue with the person looking not the two kissing.
I hope I havnt offended you in any way I just wanted to point out that maybe someone saying "yuck" is saying it because it isnt for them rather then because they hate gay people. I do agree though it does come over as being offensive.
