I see no issue with it. I personally am not big on being hugged or touched by most folks unless I am close to them. (have a little of the OCD's) on the other hand I hug and kiss my 2 sons at least once a day, I see nothing what so ever wrong with showing lots of affection to ones children male or female, I do hug my brothers as well. I think its sad that the overly vocal and in your face gays have made it to where normal hetero men feel uncomfortable showing any affection to each other, ie. ever notice how if you don't want to hug them your a homophobe but if you hug an old army or football buddy your a closet case.
