And, that's why I think gays should hold hands/kiss/etc. in public just as much as straights do, regardless of how they are looked upon, because once it happens often enough, it will blend into the mainstream.

Take a look at interracial couples for example. Appearing together in public was hard for many people to swallow, but as it became more common, society finally started to relax a bit.

Don't let the thoughts of others govern your freedoms that they CAN'T take away - the freedom to love, the freedom to be together, the freedom of affection wherever and whenever. That is what will truly help in gaining the freedoms that can be governed by society. Because, once it's no longer a "big deal", it won't be.
