Tomorrow's Nationwide "Kiss-Ins"

Tomorrow’s Nationwide “Kiss-Ins”

Come one, come all! Skip a town hall meeting tomorrow, Saturday, August 15th, and attend a free freak show in an exhibition of exhibitionism near you!

MassResistance.com is reporting that “The Great Nationwide Kiss-in” will be staged in various venues, in some 35 cities and counties, throughout the country tomorrow. The sponsors? Who else but homosexuals?

In a methinks-thou-doth-protest-too-much declaration on their website, they write, ”This will be a fun and lighthearted event, but one with an extraordinarily strong message as well: we are human, capable of a beautiful normal love like everyone else in the world. We won’t keep being excluded. There is nothing wrong with us:” http://jointheimpact.com/2009/07/the-great-nationwide-kiss-in/.

“Beautiful?” “Normal?” It’s as if gays believe that if they chant that mantra loudly enough and often enough, straights–and they–will believe it. You can almost visualize them saying it: arms folded, stamping their feet, dangling their purses, feather boas flying in the breeze.

Like a gaggle of Stuart Smalleys, they insist, “There is nothing wrong with us!”

That, of course, depends on one’s definition of “wrong” as much as it depends on one’s definition of “normal.”

The “kiss-ins” are a protest against crackdowns on two “innocent” instances of homosexual public displays of affection in El Paso and Salt Lake City.

Based on previous protests and exhibitions, however “innocent” those kisses were or were not, the planned nationwide kiss-ins tomorrow will probably go far beyond gay smooches and far exceed norms of civil behavior.

As a legally protected species, they will no doubt get away with any and all excesses, especially in Boston. (See “Gay Pride Rights . . .” http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=1067.)

Still, for those who enjoy freak shows, they could be entertaining. Just keep the kids away and shield the eyes of small dogs which tend to overreact in the presence of oddities.

I’m not sure how far the kiss-ins will go in the ongoing homosexual campaign to convince normal citizens that they, too, are normal.

As Forrest Gump would say, Normal is as normal does.
