Penalty Flag: Is Seattle ready for lip locking lesbians?

Taking a look at the homophobic side of sports.

Lip locking lesbians create more excitement than the Seattle Mariners cared for. 
 

Robert L. Jamieson Jr., of the Seattle PI reports:

Sirbrina Guerrero, 23, went to the Mariners game Monday on a date with a 21-year-old woman who is still in the closet.

The couple exchanged intermittent pecks and kisses, Guerrero said. Nothing more. No tongues touched, which is understandable -- the women had been wolfing down garlic fries.

In the third inning a stadium usher, who appeared to be in his mid-20s, approached the couple. He told them to cease their public displays of affection, or else.

Why?

"Because you've been making out the whole time," Guerrero recalled the usher telling them. "A woman complained that she and her child saw you two."

Guerrero, a cocktail waitress who lives in Seattle, said the man added, "There's children in the crowd. It's not fair for parents to have to explain to their kids why two women are kissing."

With those words, the usher crossed the line.

Well, maybe it's just my own feelings, but, gay or straight, I think kissing and overt affection should be kept private. I dont want to see a man and a woman liplocking any more than I do two men, or two women.

Yes, I agree with you there, but if it had been a man and a woman kissing, it would be a different story. The fact of the matter is that straight people can be hypocrites. Sure, it's alright if they see a straight couple kiss, but if they see a gay couple kiss, then they are offended.
