Excuse Me While I Kiss This Guy

I love it when somebody flutters the dovecotes like this. It's especially rich when it forces people into making a double-standard reaction.

Apparently this guy named Adam Lambert passionately kissed another guy during his American Music Awards performance the other night.

Of course, people kiss all the time... but it's usually a guy and a girl. Everybody loves that kind of kiss... even if it's between unmarried guys and girls; goes all the way back to Tristan and Isolde, you know... or at least Woodstock. Hey: In this day and age, even Madonna and Britney can kiss and the world won't come screaming to a halt; Bob Guccione has made a billion dollars peddling the Art of Lesbos over the last 4 decades to the hairy-palmed of America.


The kiss that raunched a thousand twits.But if two guys kiss? Oh hell! "Keep it in the bedroom," people shout! "I'm all for gay pride, but you don't need to be up in my face about it," people complain. "What if children saw that?" Predictions of a 2012-style end-of-the-world bar-be-qued humanity are bouncing around the internet like little electronic Book-of-Revelation Chicklets.

Heheh. In the realm of iconoclasm, this really is as good as it gets: Watching rational, educated-but-ignorant people lose their little minds over a kiss between the "wrong" people.

I vote for frequent man kisses on TV, just to annoy these people even more. A daily supply of deep-breath-going-in-gasp-coming-out, head-wiggling, mustache-mixing, Adam's-apple-touching man kisses.

Wolverines! **A tongue-in-cheek or sarcastic rebel yell, based on the movie "Red Dawn", in which a group of American high-school students calling themselves "Wolverines" engage in a guerrila war against an occupying Soviet army.
