Everybody’s all over the Michael Sam story. LGBT folks cheered. Michelangelo Signorile led the “Great Facebook Kiss-In.” Right-wing religious nuts (and nuts in general) said it was
another sign the world is coming to an end, etc. A few days ago, the hysteria
spread to Europe when Spain defeated Portugal in soccer (football) and two
players kissed each other on the mouth. “Although
kissing as a form of celebration is not unheard of in football, Spanish sports
site www.as.com described the image of the
Croatian and Portuguese players as ‘passionate’
while other media outlets opted for ‘curious’.” Which is surprising because it happens all the time.
I believe in equal rights. For Americans, for all people
everywhere in the world, it should be our right as human persons to be who we
are, love who we love, and express our feelings w/o worrying about
disapproval or condemnation from stupid fucking dicks (i.e., ignorant idiots). Part of that
ought to be guys (and gals) who don’t identify as LGBT being able to
do the same. If Scooter and Bubba feel like a big fat smooch at the game or
anywhere else, the appropriate response from onlookers oughta be a smile that
says, “Nice, those boys really like each other.”
So yes, lotsa kissing . . . for everyone.
P.S. That last link includes some dudes we know ain’t straight, but what
the hell!
