The first time I saw a guy walking with this arm over some other guy's shoulder I thought they were gay. Little did I know, it's no big deal for guys to walk with their arms over each other, and the same with holding hands. They ride two or three to their motorcycles and no biggie touching another guy's thigh. I laugh sometimes when I see guys here do this. Especially the guys my age who are very many, who think they are all so cool. They all have no idea that this is viewed as homosexual behavior in America. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
