Why female another story , its ok to sexually harass a female but if its a male you say no just because your not into men.
Its not sexual harassment if thats the way your used to greeting people , if the other person didn't like it, I just apologise and that's it. Knowing how sensitive people are , I'll probably get sued. People today are so homophobic. Even a man greeting another man by kissing on the cheek, they consider it sexual harassment. Dont know why.
I will further elaborate
Kissing anyone with out their express or implied permission can get one into trouble be they male or female . ( legal aside )
You indicate you live in LA, so you are bound by the laws of that state. Should you go around kissing people, that is your thing, the other person has no reason to accept your kiss, not to take some offense to your action.
My statement about women, reflects the condition i do kiss on the lips, women I know, women who I have express permission to contact in that manner. I expressed being able to kiss a man on the cheek; as it is tradition in certain cultures I interface with.
It is not hemophobia, to not like to do something
I am from the East Coast, not the west coast. Here, before you land a lip kiss, you had better be relatively sure you are being invited to do so. Having a woman slap the S%#T out of you , is almost as bad as having a man slap the S&@T out of you
Have a good day
