The Kiss seen ’round the world!
The video of this is important in that we see it is short kiss of love and no smooch of sex.
On the bright side of all this, after scrolling through the endless “fag” this and “fag” that comments and twitters I did not see anything about the black and white of this. Though that can be taken two ways. Bigotry toward gays is still popular in public while interracial coupling is mentioned only in private to silly rabbits. Or we can look at from a more positive view. That in time, and shorter times at that, the public comes around to the actuality of The Constitution rather than just carrying a tiny unreadable matchbox rendition of it to flash in people’s faces on Fox News.
Rather than suffer you through the millions of nasty bigoted tweets and comments on this kiss seen ’round the world, let me just use two. This first one that dominates the sports sphere:
Michael Sam is the type of fag that doesn’t need to be in the league….gay ass kissed his bf when he got drafted. steve kerr(@ryan4O7) May 10, 2014
And this one that teared me up:
“He wasn’t picked because he’s gay; he was picked because he has talent. I think with him coming out and now being drafted as an openly gay player, he’s going to show gay youth it’s okay to be comfortable in your own skin and aspire to what you want to be.” Jordan Willard
