Once, it was "the love that dare not speak its name." Now, its "the love that won't shut the hell up."

"guys kissed guys in the on-deck circle. Girls kissed girls between billiard matches. They didn't feel afraid or scared or judged."
Where do you start with this type of stupidity?

You know what? At my ripe old age I don't even like to see two heteros making out in public. I have gay relatives but they don't make out or even hold hands in front of us.

This is disgusting.
Why does one feel the need to be "out and proud" about aberrant behavior. After all, homosexuals comprise only about 2% of the population. Isn't that, by definition, abnormal behavior? To me, this is like saying, "By God, I'm proud to be an arsonist!"
Viva Heteros!

He slid a ring off his delicate ring finger, squeezed it on Lee's giant pinky, cutting off all circulation. They looked at each other and cried, big happy tears.

LMAO! Man, you nailed THAT!
(err, perhaps that wasn't the best way to respond to your astute observation...?) ;)

Personally what these folks do behind closed doors is their business not mine. However, when they take their sexual activities to the street, demand special rights and privileges because of their choice of sex partners and proselytize in the schools and churches that it is wrong to condemn them based on morality that is where I draw the line.

All around Chicagoland, guys kissed guys in the on-deck circle. Girls kissed girls between billiard matches. They didn't feel afraid or scared or judged. Awwwwwww. "Fisting Firemen" meets "Care Bears."
And in those eight days of reprieve -- something special happened to a couple of guys from a tiny farm town in central Indiana.
And in that prison in Turkey, something magical happened between Billy Hayes and his cellmate ...
During the opening ceremonies, Lee and Joe -- volunteer firefighters from a town of 600 -- hugged each other on the wide concourse behind the Soldier Field seats.
For Joe, it was this special moment or never. He gathered together all his courage and asked Lee, "Will you marry me?" He slid a ring off his delicate ring finger, squeezed it on Lee's giant pinky, cutting off all circulation. They looked at each other and cried, big happy tears. Lee said, "Yes."
I'm sorry. I'm speechless. I can't lampoon something this treacly sentimental. This is a pardoy of itself, and nothing I can add will make it any more hilarious.
This writer should be rushed to the hospital and treated for an overdose of bathos.

"Personally what these folks do behind closed doors is their business not mine."
Like 50sDad pointed out, that USED to be what they wanted. "Keeper your nose out of our bedroom!". Fair enough.
Then they wanted "tolerance". "We are just like everybody else!"
Then it started getting sinister. Forced acceptance of their behaviors as normal. "If you don't like what I do with my willie you are a homophobe!" (made-up word) "You are the one who has the problem!"
Now we are acutally supposed to embrace them and their sick sex fetishes that are thrown in our faces at every turn. They demand special priviledge and militantly attack those who disagree with them.
I wish they would get the hell back in the closet.
