... For "Inappropriate kissing". Certain apologists have, predictably, claimed that this is in NO WAY analogous to a restaurant refusing to serve black customers*, since those oversexed homos could act straight for a few hours if they really wanted to. I suppose there is a certain logic to that. I've been told by deaf people that before the Americans with Disabilities Act, it was perfectly legal for restaurants to kick them out because their signing "disturbed the other customers". I'm sure the apologists would defend the restaurants in those cases too, since it wasn't their deafness that got them discriminated against, it was their 'behavior'.

*But is PERFECTLY analogous to a restaurant refusing to serve mixed-race couples. Then again, the freepers probably have a problem with that too.

wow- what year is it again? That blows my mind. I don't even know what to say. Only that all of the apologetic reasoning is complete horseshit. There is no excuse- unless they said- "I'm sorry but I am totally ignorant and close-minded and I don't have much empathy either". I would believe that line of reasoning. And the Freepers trying to say that it was about public displays of affection? A kiss on the cheek?! An arm around your SO?! I highly believe that if these women were truly being inappropriate they would have taken responsibility for their actions and not put up a fuss about it. Urgh- people.

RUN FOR THE HILLS

A black person could 'act white' if they wanted to for a few hours, too, if they just 'talked right' and put on some facial makeup. A Jew could "act Christian" for a few hours, too...

People need to understand that behaviors are part of who people are. You can't say to someone, "I love you, I just hate the way you act."

Were they two grown middle aged women sharing a peck? Were they two women making out? Were they two girls in their teens that were LIEK f-u we're lesbians.

I didn't click the link but I have little doubt that it was the manager on the scene making what he thought was the right call at the time.

I want to see two 19 year old college chicks making out right now though. I would order a salad.
