Abstract
This research aims to uncover how place influences the perceived appropriateness of outing of affection, comparing between individuals who identify as hetero and non-hetero respectively. It was examined how place sets norms and how norms are interpreted by visitors. It was found that norms concerning the perceived appropriateness of outing of affection in place were largely set by behavior of others in place. Behavior of others shapes norms in place in two ways: behavior shown by others and feedback of others on behavior in place. Additionally, it was found that people conforming to these (hetero) norms in place perceived it as more appropriate to out affection. However, this perceived difference between the appropriateness of hetero and respectively non-hetero affection was found to be very contingent. Additionally, diversity of a place on different levels proved to blur borders of in- and out-of-place, opening up place for diversity on level of sexuality.
