On November 27, 2018, David Beckham posted a photo of him and his daughter in a skating rink. Although the Beckham family is often deemed classy and iconic by the general public, this time the retired football star received harsh criticism from people. You might ask what his crime was to deserve such scrutiny? He kissed his daughter on the lips. And some people really didn't like it, especially after Piers Morgan blasted Beckham on national television.

However, there were people who defended the father of four and questioned the outraged public, poking holes in their arguments and accusing them of sexualizing the situation needlessly. Other celebrities joined in and made their stance clear by posting photos where they kissed their children on the lips.

People expressed both, positive and negative opinions on the matter, drawing arguments from their own experiences and psychology books. Tell us which side you're on in the comment section below.

I'm so happy I still have my father. And every time I see him I most definitely kiss him on the lips. Oh... by the way I just turned 60.

My wonderful father often kissed me as a child and always made such an effort to let me he loved me. We were never a really rich family in money but in love we were trillionaires. All David is doing is being is a great and loving father and proving to the world what a great man he is. I feel sorry for Piers. He really doesn't know what real love is. Either that or he's just pissed that no one in their right mind would want to kiss him.

Yes, just recently Piers was picking at Daniel Craig as being unmanly for using a baby carrier. Desperate cry for attention, I think - 'Look at meeee!"

I've never been comfortable with this personally. But, then again, I think small children are gross(and I have 3 of my own). Always sticky, and dripping in drool and snot. No telling what germs they have picked up from other kids. I'm not going to tell other parents to stop, but maybe don't judge me when I don't kiss your kid on the mouth. My sister gets mad that I only kiss my niece on the cheek or head.

I don't think the objection was that he kissed his daughter, but rather that he kissed his daughter ON THE LIPS. There is a big difference. I know this is normal to many, many people, but some people were raised that this is not appropriate. I was raised that way. All kisses were on the cheek, except for my mom kissing my dad. There was plenty of love in my family, but I guess I had always been kissed on the cheek so I never thought it was strange. To this day, I do not kiss others on the lips (except my husband). It may be because my mom was a germaphobe, or that she had another, deeper reason. As an adult, I have seen so many people do this that I know it is natural. However, no one needs to brow beat anyone on where or how they kiss someone else. I'm all for hugs and kisses, on or off the lip! BTW, have you ever considered the different messages sent by where you place a kiss (lip, cheek, forehead, hand)? Check it out. It's very interesting.
