Religion made Bigotry

I'm part of deviantART, and it was brought to my attention that someone has suggested there should be a homosexuality filter just as there is for mature content, because they don't like seeing homosexuals kissing in photography. Of course, they are perfectly fine with lesbians doing the very same.

Heterosexual couples kissing photography doesn't require mature content tag and homosexual couples kissing photography shouldn't either.

I don't want to see anyone kissing because I don't care either, but I don't see why there should be a filter for homosexuality. People should just mature a little and know when to look away/move on if they see something they don't like/disagree with. I don't like to see couples kissing or doing couple-like things in the streets, regardless of their sexual orientation. So I look away.

Its people's right to celebrate their sexuality and love and its every person's right not to look at those pictures. However, whining about encountering this kind of photography  or behavior on the streets instead of moving on(which I highly doubt has damaged the person in any way) is unacceptable. Kissing is not explicit content.

My suggestion: Bigotry filter.
