Well, a large part in people thinking that way about same-sexn relationships is because, basically, we have sexual organs for reproduction, and we can't do that with a person of the same sex.
There are religious aspects to this, but I won't discuss those because I don't care that much. If somebody grew up as a religious person, they have every reason to believe that being gay is wrong. *shrug* It's their opinion, and I respect it.
As to why two heterosexual men won't hold hands... well, I tend to lok at people holding hands as them being in a relationship, no matter their sex. And yes, I would look at two guys holding hands as them being gay, or at least bi. But that's pretty much all of it :) What they do is their business.
It's depressing to think that homosexuals aren't really free to do what they like because they're being judged all the time.
We do think of men holding hands as 'gay' instinctively because of the world we grew up with. Other cultures are different -- in the Arabic world, two men holding hands is a sign of friendship, etc.

If this shows up twice, I blame my connection.

Sorry about the mess, my internet was acting up, and I kept getting errors when trying to post this.
