There are teachable moments and then there are moments when it's all you can do not to puke, eh?
Show her the "Heart of Gold" episode of Firefly sometime. I'm thinking of the scene between Mal and Nandi. Ask her if that's gross, too. :)
(I think it's utterly hot, myself, but then I think Nathan Fillion and Melinda Clarke are both fine specimens of human body, so I may be biased.)
For me, if a person doesn't like to watch other people gettin' it on (or even kissing), as long as they're totally equal-opportunity about the dislike, I don't mind. That's me, of course, and not you. But what I do mind is making a distinction. Straight, gay, and everywhere in between, I value consistency. Gonna watch the straight folks go at it? You can at least not go "Ew, gross" when you see the gay ones doing to same. I mean, it's not like gay guys find men kissing *women* hot, necessarily, or like lesbians find women kissing *men* hot, but I never do hear those complaints from queer people.
