      Why is sexual preference even something that is visible? It should only be obviously visible when you are intimate with your partner…

        This might be a surprise to learn, but some people actually go on dates in public places. Even areas you would think are safe like restaurants, movie theaters, bars and parks. There you can see all kinds of debauchery like hugging, saying I love you, some freaks even hold hands in front of other people.

        Signalling is a fundamental part of social communication, always has been, always will be. You do it all the time, you’re likely just not aware of it.
