yendi""I don't think it's right seeing women kissing in public. If I had my family there, I'd have to explain what's going on."
That would be Jim Ridneour, a Seattle taxi driver who is one of the people shocked and appalled that women might go to a baseball game and kiss each other. I would hate for him to have to explain to his family that lesbians exist; surely, things would be much better if they could keep their blinders on and pretend that anything that upsets their oh-so-delicate sense of propriety is the stuff of fiction.
And don't get me started on the fact that the Mariners were willing to threaten to kick someone out of the game for kissing her partner (apologies after the fact are nice, but completely useless).
I'd love to know if the Mariners are also one of the teams that uses the "kiss-cam," showing couples on the Jumb-o-tron and trying to get them to kiss in front of everyone.
Dan Savage has more details here.
(Yeah, it's my anti-creationist icon, but I don't have an anti-homophobe one. Then again, we're looking at heavily overlapping ven diagrams here.)
