Denver Post runs picture of gay couple kissing; outrage ensues

Colorado passed a same-sex civil unions bill, so the photographer shot a photo of the House Speaker, who's gay, kissing his partner after the vote:



Here's the ensuing shitshow on Facebook:

The Post's explanation, not that one is needed:

Gross.

Why couldn't they have used a couple of hot lesbians kissing instead?

 

Why doesn't anyone ever think of the children???

If anyone thought of the children, that godaddy commercial wouldn't exist.

 

This is awesome. And so true.

 

The outrage on that FB thread is rather tame.

 

I wonder if dog eat dog world is one of the commenters.

 

Two young, skinny white men in suits wearing thick-framed glasses. What else did people think they would do?

 

And, sadly, unrealistic:

 

Consider getting a haircut so she doesn't look like a pineapple?

 

That haircut is less subtle than having a pink triangle tattoo on her face...

 

Isn't it kind of a poorly kept secret in the gay rights movement that homosexual men and lesbians don't particularly like each other a great deal, in general?

"Modern Family" played it for some pretty good laughs recently.

 

I don't know. I watched The L Word a few times and some Cinemax documentaries. Lesbians seem very attractive, fit and friendly as a rule.
