I can't argue with that, I think it's right on the money.

I SERIOUS DOUBT IT!
No, and I don't recall even mentioning just a peck on the cheek. What I am saying is that, as some of you are assuming that a) this was a heavy-make out session & b) it was done just for attention, I am assuming that what actually happened was two people were engaging in some kisses. Whether it be longer or shorter kisses, doesn't matter. I'm not going to get technical & start counting the length of so-called kisses. Anyway, if these two people were two heterosexuals having some kisses, I guarantee no one but the prudest of the prude would object. But because it was two females kissing, up go the alarms. It's hypocritical.

It's assumption and speculation either way. All joking aside, PDA is PDA. It's distasteful at times, but not illegal. I don't think we should have a double standard, but we do, as a society. If it was a straight couple, it'd likely have been a non-issue. 2 girls? It's a problem. 2 dudes? It woulda been a firestorm.

I don't think gay people should have to keep this stuff to themselves anymore than straight people. "But what we tell our children?!?!?!?" I dunno. The same thing you'll eventually tell them when it comes up some other way. I know it sucks to have to actually talk to your kids about something awkward, but you'll survive.

You can't decide when to broach what topics with your kids. You can't pick when you talk to them about death or the birds and the bees or anything else. You cross those bridges when you get there. I promise that your kid won't find it as awkward as you do, most likely.

I know, now granted I don't have kids however I've been around them. What exactly is the big deal just telling them what's going on? Isn't that what parents do every day? Tell their kids what is going on? So stupid & immature & close-minded & I'll say it...even detrimental to their kids.
