Denver Post runs picture of gay couple kissing; outrage ensues

[MisterCreosote]

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 ****show 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?

 

[Here me roar]

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

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

 

[LongTimeListener]

This is awesome. And so true.

 

[TheSportsPredictor]

The outrage on that FB thread is rather tame.

 

[Uncle.Ruckus]

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

 

[Versatile]

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

This is awesome. And so true.

And, sadly, unrealistic:

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is spending $1.5 million to study the “high public-health significance” of why 75 percent of lesbian women are obese and gay men are not, CNS News reports.

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

 

[Mizzougrad96]

Would lesbian Colorado lawmaker Joann Ginal do?

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.

 

[LongTimeListener]

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.

This is obviously anecdotal, but most of my gay and lesbian friends have at least a few friends of the other gender.

The GoDaddy commercial, about 95 percent of the crap that currently passes itself off as TV programming, and about 99 percent of movies ...

I don't care too much for any sort of kissing photo. Guess I'm not surprised at the ****storm, but that's one more reason why newspaper websites shouldn't have a comments option. Facebook? Who cares about that gossip?

So, hell, if you're the paper and want to run it, fine.... it tells a story. Just don't be surprised when a certain portion of the readership gets their underwear in a bunch. If papers get calls over running a simple car crash photo, what do you expect?

Yeah, they suck.

 

[Versatile]

Penetration or GTFO.

Have you ever kissed a girl?
