>Are kisses (too) gay? Seems not connected to homosexuality irl.
No, kisses don't have any connection to sexuality, even if the kiss is between two boys. As I mentioned in previous /sms/ threads, acts of affection such as these (whether we call them "tie signs" or use the Japanese portmanteau "skinship") are only indicative of how close one person is to another. Do we call a kiss between a mother and son on the lips indicative or incest? A young girl and her pet dog bestiality? Of course not, nor did we ever consider a kiss between two boys an indication of the "sin of Sodom."
From Jaeger:
>it is possible for medieval writers to say... that a king loved his courtier vehemently, embraced him with the flames of intimate love, kissed him, slept with him, shared the same clothes, and ate from the same dish... and none of these formulations was received as an indication of an illicit erotic attachment.
