At last, the War On Kissing suffers a defeat!
The five men, all gay, were placing their order at the Chico’s Tacos restaurant on Montwood when the men kissed. All five sat down, but the two guards at the restaurant told them to leave.
De Leon quoted one of the guards as saying he didn’t allow "that faggot stuff" in the restaurant.
De Leon said they refused to leave and called police for help….
(…)
De Leon said the officer told the group it was illegal for two men or two women to kiss in public. The five men, he said, were told they could be cited for homosexual conduct — a law the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional in 2003 in Lawrence v. Texas.
I for one am glad to see someone stand up for traditional kissing. All this gay kissing completely devalues the institution of kissing, which the Bible and nature tell us should only be between a man and a woman. Why, next thing you know, we’ll have people kissing more than one person at a time, or kissing family members or little children or box turtles, and then where will we be? Hitler, that’s where!
And really, do the gay people need to be kissing? We already allow them to hold hands and stand too close to each other (which has completely destroyed traditional handholding and close-standing), and they’re free to pursue perfectly adequate alternatives like high-fives, bromances, and girl crushes. So why do they have to keep taking away what’s rightfully ours?
It’s gotten so I can’t even enjoy kissing anymore. I hate to think about what might happen if the gays start having sex with each other.

Hey Eli!
Kissing!!!? You’re right, it is the first step leading to S-E-X!
Hey eg!
Ok I give up, what’s a bromance?
http://us.imdb.com/title/tt1155056
Or just about any movie by Judd Apatow and/or with Paul Rudd or Seth Rogan…
So, where these pecks on the cheeks, a brush of the lips, or some French action?
They *said* it was just a simple kiss on the lips, but you know how those gay people are.
but but but doncha know the kiss is sanctified in holy matrimony by virture of that whole you may kiss the bride thing (close snark tag)
Hi Eli ******Kiss*****
Okay,we have this foal that is six months old. The dog taught her to kiss. She loves to kiss people. Is that against the law in Texas?
Six years after Lawrence, and the police still threaten to cite dudes for acting gay?
Big kiss, Eli. In a platonic way, of course.
Hi Eureka, right back atcha!
Coincidentally, I am watching Eureka on Syfy right now…
Kissing can lead to S-e-x? Cheez now they tell us.
Kisses!
Yes. She is only allowed to kiss male foals.
Boxturtles maybe. Like what Eli said.
Kisses to everyone of all persuasions.
Please, please, please don’t let Rick Santorum hear about this interspeciality.
David Brooks escaped before the GOP Senator got around to kissing.
Touchy-feelie
Dang, none of those around. We’re weaning her, so she is being babysat by a 20 year old gelding. Haven’t seen him kiss her yet.
[shhh! Don’t tell the Texas authorities about geldings….]
I found it interesting that the gay dudes called the police, who showed up only after the security detail called them, and that the police didn’t want to talk to the gay dudes until they got the rentacops’ stories.
As Sasha says in his latest movie Bruno, like the Terminator, but not so gay…C
Rick takes the term “doggy-style” a tad too literally, methinks.
This is an outrageous assault on traditional thigh-groping!
Well, we don’t actually know there was no kissing. We only have a very small part of the story, after all. Clearly, GOP Senators presume that “NYT columnist” = “available for mansex”
I’m not even gay and I am ready to go to Dallas for a big kiss in.
Should I buy some carmex or something? /s
I saw that. My Q is, why didn’t Brooks look the guy in the eye and say: Please take your hand off my leg.? More there than Brooks said.
Think he got a stiffie?
What got left out is that every time the senator removed his hand Brooks pulled it back.
Seriously though, Senator, you can do better…
Why does no one acknowledge David Brooks’ extraordinary sexual magnetism?
Respect must be paid.
Let your imagination be your guide. Maybe it turned into a mutual jerk off. All I know is that, by his own report, Brooks didn’t do the only socially acceptable response.
You mean he can pick up ball bearings with his penis? You know, some magnets attract, others repel. Perhaps Brooks is suffering from reversed pole-arity.
It’s interesting that one of the rent-a-cops is already lawyering up. I think the Texas ACLU has a slam-dunk case on this one.
Reminds me of some paintings in Kronhausen’s erotic art collection. The far east is the best. There’s an image of a Japanese erection contest where the weights are coins on a string, object being to see which man can carry the heaviest weight on his erection.
Interesting how often TX is in the news lately regarding gay men. Lonely security guards (are there any other kind?) bust gay men for not hurting anyone, having fun and eating. Projection much?
The whole rightwing is projection imho.
Don’t you know? Kissing could lead to **gasp** DANCING!
Yeppers.
I am soooooo glad that I am not a winger. I can’t image being a repug and a scorpio at the same time.
Ditto on the Scorpio.
Next thing you know, they’re going to be dancing!
Raise the drawbridge!
Hugs and KISSES to ALL my Pups friends I could care less what Gender you are… You have all earned hugs and Kisses in MY BOOK!! Screw these Asswipes!
A scorpio type economist? Heavy.
“Chico’s Tacos” sounds like a place you would expect to find some hot gay kissing action, but maybe it’s just me.
Screw the asswipes! There is something about that statement that is just weird.
“Wipe the ass-screws” would be even weirder. And kind of disturbing.
TKK!
TP!
wait, that doesn’t sound right…
Had a friend who worked the cleanup shift at 5am at The Citadel, one of our S&M clubs here in town, and that sounds like something on his checklist.
Back at ya.
Heh, that too.
What is interesting about the book (mine nearly got worn out in my son’s room when he approached puberty) is that the far east erotic art is so much more interesting, fun, and communicative than the western erotic art. At least in the Kronhausen collection, western erotic art is all dehumanizing s&m kind of stuff. Was one of my great cultural awakenings when I bought the book about 3 decades ago.
It has been known to get in my way. *g*
Thats the point… they are not comfortable with themselves..never mind what someone else does… what insecure wimps!
Whew Edit saved my ass again!!
Seems to me calling the police over a kissing episode should warrant a citation (at least a warning) for wasting police time.
seriously.
LOL… Great ratfood!
I confess I had to laugh when I saw that Mr. Kronhausen’s first name is “Eberhard.”
ROFLMAO. You’d think I would have noticed after 3 decades, but somehow I didn’t.
Well back to the stove.. pasta sauce is demanding my attention… see ya a bit later…
To truly grasp Texas, let us turn once more to the sage insights of MOLLY (mpbuh)!

Gee, I ate dinner a lot earlier, and just polished off popcorn snack. (I have more. If anyone would like some, hold out your bowls.)
I regretted linking to something as crass as a Hershey’s kiss, so here is a high end version.
Popcorn please!
Anyone up for truffle cream chocolate kisses?
smooches gracias.
Wow. Thanks for that. I really miss Molly.
With or without butter?
in French the word baiser as a noun is a kiss (donner un baiser = to give a kiss). As a verb it has a bit more oomph: it’s slang for “to shag”.
what is this, Last Tango in Paris night?
Alternatively, here’s some X-rated desserts.
The smile, the laugh!
I forget, was there popcorn in that film? *g*
*channeling Annie Savoy*
Oh my . . .
wasn’t that Lube-bitch’s last film? :~)
Oy, if you continue along those lines, I’m gonna get my HS pun-classmate after you.
our post-host Eli was a master punner before going all Sen. Al Franken serious on our collective *ss…
This page offers a little more variety.
Afraid the Bull Durham reference whooshed over my head.
I think I arrived after that phase for Eli.
When I was searching for chocolate links I found this description hard to resist.
Homo Erotic Foreign TV Commercial for Chocolate
So, is there a FDL meetup in the future with an erotic dessert competition?
ABlog reported today that a couple of LDS security guards (yes, they actually have their own police) had a gay couple detained and arrested because one kissed the other on the cheek in front of an LDS temple. They were cited for trespassing, even though that area is a popular spot for affectionate couples to have their picture taken.
All those Mormons can kiss my rosy Irish ass, starting with Romney and Donny Osmond.
Yum, on all fronts.
It will be an opportunity sadly missed if there is not.
Actually, I find desserts pretty exciting in nearly any setting.
Where oh where??
It’s a shame that nearly all TV commercials in the U.S. are so terribly dull.
When I worked on Wall St, I made it a once/year trip to speak to the Mormon’s in SLC. Then I went skiing at Alta, one of the best ski areas in the world.
Circle Pudding?
Sorry, I couldn’t help it.
I’ve got a nice fat long piece of salmon on the bar b.
Rice (with or without butter), and a sweet, little simple green salad.
Dessert is orange sherbet with chocolate chips.
The real dessert apre le dinner will be Moyers.
Hi everyone!
I had the most wonderful conversation with a gay pastor the other day. If anyone wants to hear about it, let me know.
nahant, RonD, ratfood:
I’ll have to arrange a FDL meetup around Sep-Oct, mid-Hudson. I meant to do one on MemDay, but was too involved in projects. Have a new raison d’etre.
Circle pudding indeed. What are all the wimen to do?
Do tell about your conversation.
Thanks for all the yummy grub!:)
Craig and Foley, sitting in a tree,
K-I-S-S-I-N-G . . .
Dnag I will be back in the Boston area starting August 20th thru Sept 1st… sure would love to be at one of your meetups eCahn!! Last time I saw that you had a great time with great food!
Speaking of meetups.. I am having one here on July 25th in Redwood city, Ca if you are in the area sure would like it if any of the Pups could make it!!…
Afraid at this point my eremitic lifestyle precludes travel. Among other things, no one I can trust to look after Bob.
My new part time job is at a Christian Book Store.
I’m not going to duck, it’s the only job I could get.
A guy came in and wanted to buy some clerical collars. I walked him over to where we keep them. Size? What else. A shirt. For my spouse. Oh, so a blouse? No, I’m married to a man. I blushed, shrugged, put my hand out and shaked his hand. In California? Congratulations to you both. For a long time, he says. We had a long chat about Doma and a bunch of other stuff. Gave me his card. After I was embarrassed, we had a great chat.
Can’t make Redwood City, much as I’d like.
For years I’ve known gay people who refer to their partner as their spouse, despite never having had an official ceremony. Was the man you met one of the lucky people who tied the knot while it was legal in California?
You have no idea how hard it probably was for him to even enter that bookstore.
Thanks for making it a celebratory experience.
Gives a new meaning to “access journalism,” doesn’t it?
I hope you all understand that I was embarrassed at assuming a man’s spouse would need a blouse not a shirt. I’m probably the only person working at a christian bookstore who would have felt bad about that assumption.
Please don’t allow teh gay to kiss … kissing leads to pregnancy, we don’t want gay people fathering children … that’ll wreak havoc in society !
He was very comfortable in his skin. Very.
I’m going to visit his parish. Soon.
Peterr. I’m leading my very first memorial service on Sunday. It’s going to be ….well, something. Easy breezy. Pastor’s too busy. Said, let Deb lead it.
Twas an innocent mistake. Actually if they go dancing I think all that’s needed is the collar, shirt is optional.
I want to visit their church, but I already have a church that I go to. Maybe I can be friends with them and just go dancing!
now isn’t that just awesome!
Okay only dancing … no k.i.s.s.i.n.g, mmkay ? *g*
Eli !
Another belly bursting post …
Har har. You, know, That God, she has a funny sense of humor. I could make some new friends out of that chance meeting.
I just told my husband the story and he’s googling their church now.
We’ll be checking it out.
No tongues, tho, okay? So Nice.
Petro!
Thanks, dude!
Sorry that I missed it live … busy with
pestsguests all week !did you kiss him?
Elephants on Parade? Do I have to go there?
Oopps. Salmon’s done. Whew, saved by the fish. Again.
bbl
You have no idea how many awkward moments, while fishing with a group of men, that that same line was spoken …
People in the area should organize a “kiss in” there, with both gay and straight couples.
You are just so cute!!!
Kissing is a gateway vice.
KISS-O-RAMA!!!!
