Maybe it was a different security detail. If it were me, they would be told to get the hell out no matter if they are gay, regular or tongue kissing a dog. And I am very liberal about gay rights. I support gay rights 100%. But their are limits to public behaviors.

I find Christianity immoral. I guess anyone wearing a Christian cross in the mall should be throwing out for thrusting their lifestyle and exposing their sin to my children.

Right?

Again standards are what's deemed by the majority of people. This is why we can't go to the mall naked because the majority of the people don't want it.

What's even funnier is that the mall manager released this statement: “Persons that violate the Code of Conduct are asked to leave the property.”

Yet the local news read the mall's Code of Conduct and it contains no policy whatsoever on public displays of affection.

So what we have is a Mall Cop selectively enforcing a non-existent policy against a gay couple while ignoring all the straight couples "breaking" the same non-existent policy.

If a community wanted to enforce a standard that same-race couples could kiss in public but that interracial couples couldn't, would you be just as supportive of the enforcement of that policy?

That does not make the gay couple right. That just means the mall management needs a policy that insures fair treatment of everybody. Just because I stole an apple and Johnny stole an apple and I got in trouble and Johnny didn't does not make me anymore right than Johnny. When I went to prison, I did not complain that others who did much more serious crimes got off with less or no time and therefore that justified my crimes. I did it, I got caught, I did my time.

Nobody should be kissing in a mall period. A mall is for shopping and not a make out den.

I disagree. If a couple want to hold hands or share a kiss in a mall, I think that's great. Every day I see many couples sharing a moment of affection, and it always brings a smile to my face.

The gay movement interferes with the fair and reasonable enjoyment of the day. A romantic couple or hetro togetherness is an example of both progress and acceptence between the two contrasting realities in human existence.

Public displays of 'rejection...in this intended scheme explains the power of the will to express objection to creation itself. An example to be sure of not only a disordered mind but can can only be a "demonstration of promise" in the emergence of biological and potencially harmful disease orientated issues in store for the community. Something also a healthy and positive individual or family would not want to see anymore then watching people do other harmful things to themselves. It is impossible to explain to youngsters because it is impossible to see, from a healthy perspective. Be warned...those who see...agree. Your consciousness is either alive and participating in this world, or it is not and shrouded and wrapped up for burial, in the darkness of fear and limited social priority.
