2. Didn’t they invent homosexuality? /s

3. To be fair I think even straight couples avoid that in public. Or is it just Hungary?

4. I live in greece, this is bullshit unless you are like going at it in public. People generally don’t give a shit unless you go to the mountains or some other village where it would be offensive to impose yourself straight or gay.

5. But the Greeks invented it. That is the thing Greece is most famous for, after smashing plates.

6. Didn’t Greece legalise same-sex marriage just a few weeks ago? 💀

7. “Greek ancestors turning in their graves”

8. The UK’s foreign office is trippin… i’m a gay foreigner living in Greece with my Greek partner for some years now and from personal observation, i can confirm this is total BS. Greeks/tourists etc many couples of different genders/sexual orientations/ages can and do show public affection, on the other hand, you can get weird looks just for wearing a basic pink T-shirt if you come across the wrong person/location…

9. Because they are British?

10. What a load of absolute bollocks. UK just making shit up as usual, probably as some pathetic revenge for us asking for the Parthenon marbles back, so now they try to paint us as some place that attacks gay tourists…

11. Even on the island of Lesbos?

12. Lmao Gays are safe in Athens and in other big cities . Only in a few small villages should they be careful, but even then, nobody is gonna physically hurt them.

    Also , I think the UK has a bigger problem with religious fanatics than Greece

13. bullshit. This is Greece, one of the more modern EU countries. They wouldn’t foster homophobia there.

14. My view for all couples of whatever sex that go beyond holding hands and a kiss when greeting is ‘get a room’.

15. Greeks were gay before it was cool, now they hate all the copycats.

16. Greece invented bum love. Fuck that noise

17. You know what? They are gonna kiss even harder

18. Wtf, thats weird! I felt really safe and thought Greece was fine on the lgbt acceptance scale. Nobody seemed to give a fuck.

19. Mykonos tourist board in shambles right now

20. No Kiss but Anal is ok

21. Okay then I will just hold hands very tightly.

22. I advise Greek homophobes to fuck off.

23. But.. it is Greece. *Greece.* Origin of the phrase “to go Greek” or the isle of Lesbos…

24. Ironic when being gay in certain neighborhoods in London can get you hatecrimed

25. Their advisory is tripping balls

26. Better yet don’t even go to or financially support these kind of places in any way
