I really don't see the problem either, some person care about public moral some other doens't , after all hte actual style of the society is just a general agreement that evolved from lots of things, however a person hve the right of freedom of expression and style is one of them.
Ofc someone might disagree with a look like that an those 2 guys should be able to handle the reaction of most people since they know is not something usual.

I really dont see what the problem is. Its a symbol of trust between them, I suppose you could liken it to a wedding ring or some such item. The bus driver could have handled the situaion alot better than they did.

i don't wanna say anything that was already said, but the only issue i see in this is the threat to the girl's safety, possibly if the bus make a sudden stop and she was yanked forward or something like that.
the driver handled it a little badly, i think.

but for those of you saying that the parents probably didn't want their children seeing that, if i was a parent, i honestly wouldn't care. i think that it's stupid to hide things like that from children. let them ask all the questions. i don't care, i would rather tell my child the truth and say its a form of expression blah and blah, that to waste time and effort hiding it from them because by the time they hit puberty you're gonna have to re-explain it to them all again and for what? its not like they can remain children forever.

besides, i think its wrong to hide anything from a child. it is best to tell them the truth and answer all their questions- i don't mean get into the depths of bondage, that's for a later age- but its better to tell them than to have them find out later- in a very bad and unsafe way. its how kids end up dead in the streets (and i'm referring to a personal experince w/ a kid who found out about drugs the wrong way). just tell them, there's no need in covering their eyes unless the couple was naked or something. besides, there are worse things walking on the streets than a couple in bondage.
i'm sorry to make this a topic about children, but i felt that i needed to point that out.

I don't see any problem with what she-he was wearing. I, also, wouldn't mind if my children were to see it. As it has been mentioned there are much worse things they see everyday. People walking around with their asses hanging out of their shorts, even in schools this happens.
Yes, maybe they could both wear chains but hook them to themselvs, that could also symbolize something. But if they feel strongly on how they want to express themselves let them. The bus system is there to transport everyone not cetain people. If you get on the bus it's at your own risk. Maybe they could have that put in words so people like that could ride freely? None the less they should be able to ride the bus.

I could partialy understand the saftey part but the bus driver should have explained it better. I see nothing wrong with the leash themselves ( i actually think its qiute cool) but I also can see the not so saftey side.

Isn't the bus company's duty to serve the public interest... it isn't in the public interest to witness that sort of thing and expose small children to it.

I did child care for 2 years and thats the kind of thing a child will copy when with other children. They're more likely to pick up on unusual things that they don't see everyday such as a man leading a lady round on a chain. I don't think giving a kid the idea to put a rope around a friend's neck is a good thing.
There probably was more distasteful things happening so why add to it?

Another point is, buses have morons on. He probably asked them to remove the chain so they wouldn't get kicked off on by chavs and other idiots.

expose? my god, i dont see anything wrong with it. Childern are going to learn eventually, now how should it be done? by the tv or with the parents nearby iin hopes that they can answer any questions the child may have. Last time i check the tv was more of a problem than this. I think its cool.

I, however, never stated that it was ever ok, just as sluts on teh streets are not ok, I won't say that it is. But there is much worse things the children are exposed to.

Not all kids are like that, very few are.
I have nieces, cousins, friends with kids who are under 6 and they dont know what the dynamics of sex are, just basics and thats all they need to know until they are older. Not because they're sheltered because where I live it's just innapropriate and some parents dont want to discuss sex until the kids are older so why should some teenagers on a bus force them to when their kids ask questions?

exactly, kids are exposed to more s**t than people think. trust me, when a kid thats about five is comming up to me and asking if I have this is the new s**t by Marlyn Manson and can he listen to it. (no offnse to manson he does rock though morals are a little odd). but that what im saying I agree that kids are exposed to far worst than a bloody collar.

edit this is exposure this was on mtv music awards please do not click link if you are easly affronted by images
