That's just gay.

It's now 11:20. This posts to the main page at 1:14. That's about 2 hours.

The question, then, is how many different people can post different images of gays kissing in two hours' time?

I say 20. I think 20 would be the absolute ceiling. 20 people.

If an image of people kissing offends your sensibilities, it's your sensibilities that are the problem.

Anyone who takes offense at this is an asshole.

Click here for original article about the uproar and all the comments below it which are mostly supportive. There are a couple of entertaining wackos thou spouting things like:

Most of us are totally disinterested in homosexuality and its manifestations. Many are downright hostile to it. Homosexual activists have their own publications. That's where their affairs belong.

I love how anti-gay people refer to all homosexuals as
"activists". These "activists" are your friends, family, and neighbors. They are just people who want the same rights as you, nothing extra.

Jesus, that's what offended people? That barely qualifies as a kiss. I've seen dads kiss their daughters with more sensuality than that. And yes, even in places other than West Virginia.

The ultimate hypocrisy: if it had been two women, the outcry would have been nearly nonexistent.

I think the problem lies in that the picture in question seems to indicate that the couple is happy about getting married. The offense, therefore, is that they're presenting fiction as fact. (Commonly referred to as foxtion or foxion)

It's OK conservative homophobes. You can post in this thread and we won't call your masculinity into question. We know you are here just for the articles.

Wow that's fascinating. The gays can kiss just like the heterosexuals. Who would ever think that ? ! If I never saw pictures of it I never would have believed it !

One of the couples that got married here the other day were a pair of black lesbian ministers.

I'm just going to leave it at that so it can percolate.

I'm personally waiting for the "Keep it in the bedroom! I don't want to see your kinks out in public where me and my kids can see them." Those are always my favorite.

Kinks in public: Having your Dominant leading you around by a dog collar and leash

Public Displays of Affection: Kissing your partner and holding their hand

I can see how those are very similar.

It's the snowflake mentality that only white males are supposed to stand up for their rights, everyone else should just take whatever they get and deal with it. A black person advocating for their rights is labeled "militant", gays advocating for their rights are labeled activist. But no labels for white males advocating for their rights, unless they're attempting to take away others peoples rights.

I think its mostly the old people who care/get freaked out about stuff like this... most of the people my age hardly blink when we see a midget giving a tranny a dutch rudder at the local zoo...

///Thank you Interwebz!!!

Those opposing running the picture appear to be offering two arguments for why the Post shouldn't have done this. The first argument boils down to, "HERRRP," while the second argument can aptly be summarized as, "DERP DERRRP." Some would suggest that there's a third argument, "WHARRRRGARBL," but I think you'll agree that can be immediately discounted as just silly.

I am completely disgusted by the Washington Post's agenda to show pictures of things that happened. Such decisions show a clear and shameless liberal bias from those reporters and photographers who inflict upon us pictures and stories of newsworthy events that occur in the Washington area.

I want the WaPo to know that I will not be subjected to their filthy and immoral portrayal of things that occur that I don't agree with, and so I will be cancelling my subscription immediately.

Thanks alot, Washington Post. From now on I will get all my news from Conservapedia.

I would blink that would distract from the Donkey Show going on in the Zebra enclosure.
