Okay, I understand that, but at least I admitted it.

And I also see that I was SOOO far off base (no pun intended).

On another note, anyone know where I can get tickets to a Mariners game?
What seats were these girls in again?

Let's face it folks this is just more proof that baseball is slow at times and people need things to do.

Respecting freedom sometimes requires tolerance of distasteful behavior.

Your words: "And I can't help suspecting that it wasn't just a smooch like we'd give our spouses. Without reading the article, my expectation is that they went full into it, girl-on-girl porno style, and not for the purpose of expressing their devotion to one another, but rather, to get in the spotlight and maybe make a couple bucks on a lawsuit after the aclu gets a hold of it."

I think that hot GOGA would get a little more than a reprimand from an usher. Come on.

Yep. The downside of a free country, but a price I'm willing to pay.

So you think it was just a smooch? I'm sure, considering that she's a "Reality-TV Bisexual Celebrity".

Again, I wasn't there but would be interested in seeing the video, if it's available, because this sort of thing is so predictable I'd be willing to bet it wasn't a peck on the lips.

I'd bet that if it were a hetero couple making out, they'd be spoken to, esp. considering the policy of the park, which specifically prohibits behavior that's not family friendly.

But once again, because it involves some pets of the ACLU (minorities, muslims, or gays), it'll be a real moneymaker for them.

Lesbian kiss at Seattle ballpark stirs a frenzy

If is lesbians, I'm all for it- very erotic. If it's a couple of guy, oh puke!

Unfortunately, there are no limits to what some people will do for ATTENTION and/or NOTORIETY nowadays. Obviously, these women were desperate for both and were using the SHOCK VALUE approach . . . how pitiful.

I consider myself fairly "open minded" but there's definitely a time and place for such public displays by any group.

Bottom line . . . GET A ROOM!

Again, you're making assumptions. I guarantee you that people have no problem seeing heteros give kisses but as soon as you see two homosexuals, oh nooo!!!! All hell breaks loose!!!! It was out of bounds for that usher & everyone knows it. People, get your heads out of the dark ages & start learning some tolerance...or how about just ignoring it? Isn't that what you do when you see a hetero couple kiss?

Again, this is all heresay. Just because it's two lesbians people automatically assume they were having full-on sex in the stands. Give me a break & grow up!
