Expect to hear this every half an hour forever: “You guys look so cute together.”

When you're in your first gay relationship you learn that holding hands will turn heads. At first you think it's because people are offended, but then you clock that they're sensing something is different and are just checking to see what it is.
Quite honestly, *most* people don't really care, and this makes you feel awesome.
And if they *do* care, you hold hands even tighter (if it is safe to do so). You also put on some sort of "don't fuck with me" face you invented, and feel like a million dollars.

Oddly, the most awkward moments in your first gay relationship are when people go out of the way to show how proud they are of you holding hands. They stare like a proud parent on their child's first day of school, or give you the same facial expression they would give a lost puppy who is desperately seeking a cuddle.
You don't mind seeing this facial expression. It's still one step up from the complete strangers who come up and say "you guys look so cute together".
When are you more likely to hear "you guys look so cute together"? It's twice as likely to happen in a pub, five times more likely to happen at a music gig.
Double that if people are drunk.
