Very well said, I agree.

OP was being honest without being derogatory. It sounds like perhaps they may have experienced some personal growth from watching the episode.

If OP hasn't been around gay people who openly express physical affection, they may have felt initially uncomfortable. But that's why representation is important.

That's why movies, TV, books, and visual arts are so important to us as a culture and as individuals; exposure to new ideas helps us grow and become better people.
