What about the three-year old kid, who starts to think it's normal and becomes gay himself.
For that matter, what about the three-year old kid who thinks its normal to threaten and possibly even inflict violence on those with a different opinion than him, and grows up to be another bigoted 'vigilante.' I doubt the parents would be too thrilled about that either.
You have no moral authority.
And anyone actually does?
Yes -- you'd previously said that morality is determined by society, and society certainly does not approve of you threatening or inflicting violence on somebody else just because the two of you have a difference of opinion. "Stop holding hands or I'll beat the tar out of you" qualifies as assault.

Why? Don't kids learn from what they see?
Holding hands doesn't make you gay or heterosexual- did you miss out a lot of sex education in special ed.?
Perhaps there's a special pull out from the 'Daily Sport' with small words or stick figure pictures that you can understand which might be able to explain human sexuality to you.
If you're a result of a 'higher' education someone at admissions seriously goofed.
Still, perhaps you could serve as an example to a younger generation of how not to turn out, so in that respect you might serve some useful purpose, other than being a draught excluder or hot air generator.

What about the three-year old kid, who starts to think it's normal and becomes gay himself. Or is that OK to you, to corrupt little children against the wishes of the parents.
Man -- what kind of a world do you live in? Because here on Earth, one's sexual orientation is not determined by indoctrination or exposure to other people of different sexual orientation.
It's normal for me to be with another man and to show appropriate affection if we both feel like it, in public places. There is no "corruption" factor.
A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.
With my last partner, we got away with it wherever we felt like holding hands. Some people scowled at us, a couple have muttered obscene remarks but we got away with it, because no one has the right to take away the rights of others.

By the way, you greatly exaggerated to what extent the population finds this repugnant. And secondly, just because there are bigots out there that have a problem with gays holding hands, does not mean that gays should not hold hands in public.
It's not our fault that bigots are not able to deal with THEIR problem -- that's right -- it's their problem, so don't put the burden on us.

The percentage of Americans who believe "homosexuality is an acceptable alternative lifestyle" rose from 38% in 1992 to 52% today, an increase of 14% in less than a decade. The Century Gallup Poll records that the previous decade, from 1982 to 1992, there was only a four-point jump, from 34% who felt that homosexuality was an acceptable alternative lifestyle to 38%. Thus, the acceleration of approval for homosexuality, from 4% a decade to 14% in less than a decade, is almost a fourfold leap.
Even if we assume that all of the remaning 48% who disapprove of homosexuality would be willing to employ assault and battery to voice their disapproval, the "99%" estimate is still way off.
