To the editor:
The other day I saw a couple walk across the street holding hands. As they reached the opposite end of the intersection they began kissing and I began to laugh. The kiss was a tad extravagant, but seemed to hold a more prominent message: that being a homosexual is becoming less of a “closeted” thing and more of something to be proud of, especially in this valley. And yes, the couple were lesbians.
While I was laughing I had to wonder, how were the people in other cars witnessing this? I hope they smiled as I did, because sometimes we all need to witness a good dose of what makes this planet go round — love.

Oh, so you know about the late NOW feminist Andrea Dworkin who supported all this crap aganda and claimed that all hetero sex was rape - ALL! and so much more... Most of the big NOW femi-Nazis were abused by their mothers yet they hate fathers and swear to destroy them and hetero families to rid the face of the planet of what they call "the male scourge" or "male evilness..."
These hate group overt supremacists (NOW - mother of gay/lesbian supremacy marriage too) base their whole agenda (including domestic violence(DV) and destroying hetero marriage and families) on their lie that men oppress women and commit most DV (ask real women, who'll tell you different) and that DV is solely a hetero family activity. First women commit most DV against children and ALSO against all partners (dating, live in, hetero marriage and their highest DV is in lesbian couples).
Since studies show gay and lesbian couples are most violent, shouldn't we listen to NOW's advice that violent partnerships yield the WORST EVER POSSIBLE environments for raising children?

Sometimes out of pure frustration Philosopher will try to explain to him the failed logistics of his situation, or Therapist will attempt to penetrate the psychological origins of his obduracy, but, ever unfathomable, Ferrous Cranus cannot be moved.

Patfromlogan,
But, Hopi and Hawaiian gays are not joined up with NOW's hostile agenda to knock down society etc... BIG difference there.
Also, curious, when there is a bully and his/her victim on the playground it must be equally the fault of both since they are both extremes, so (as some actually DO believe) meeting halfway is best (equal blame and punishment for both bully and victim) - there is no right or wrong side...
When there is truth and lies then the meeting in the middle must be right since THAT is neither extreme? and they are both pretty extreme as you can get.
Compromising with liars and bullies, just to be "fair" is a losing proposition.
When there is right and wrong, compromising half way with wrong liberals isn't right at all.
Half a lib lies is still a lie.
Half of liberal projection is still projection.
Half of lib wrong is still wrong.
Having half your money stollen by libs is still theft and pillage.
Half of lib totalitarianism is still pretty darned bad.
Having half your freedom is still slavery.
Giving into half of NOW's & KKKAPSA's supremacist, liberal, hate-group, Marxist, femi-Nazi, destruction agenda is still just that.
It isn't really too surprising WHICH side wants you to meet them halfway. They are more than happy to rob, rape, pillage and control you "ONLY HALFWAY" than have none of that totalitarian opportunity.

From: http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/bong.htm
An interesting and accurate portrayal of internet "warriors." A good read and it will familiarize one to the typical types of internet writers. The oft repeated 'you liberals' bring this one type below to mind.
IDEOLOGUE:
The most common variants of Ideologue are conservative and liberal. Smug and self satisfied in their certitudes, Ideologue's opinions are merely a loose collection of intellectual conceits, and he is genuinely astonished, bewildered and and indignant that his views are not universally embraced as the Truth. He regards the opposing point of view as a form of cognitive dissonance whose only cure is relentless propagandizing and browbeating. The conservative iteration of Ideologue parades himself as a logical, clear thinker, while the liberal version trumpets his higher level of mental, spiritual and social awareness. Troglodyte is the natural ally of conservative Ideologue, and for liberal Ideologue it is Weenie. Ideologue is a fierce, but very predictable Warrior..
Oh, and I did catch a mention of "natural" repulsion that people feel to gays. Nope, it's cultural and learned. For instance the native American Hopi or the Hawaiians; in those cultures gays are not seen as disgusting, weird, and at least in the Hopi, are often used as mediators, being seen as ones who understands male and females issues more than straights. Though I must add, Hawaiians and Hopi that have been influenced by Christianity and or Western culture can be as prejudiced as anyone.

Mormons can be the same way. Change some words around in your statement to see the comparison: "There are people out there whose natural instinct is against the religious and the Mormon community cannot take that. Mormons want to be tolerated, but heaven forbid you go against their ways; they will not tolerate those that do… The whole Mormon community's 'toleration' rant is a one way street in their favor."

This letter (as well as the comments) was on my mind tonight while spending time with my boyfriend (I am male). My boyfriend and I were eating ice cream just outside an ice cream shop talking about the things typical college students talk about: the stress of balancing school schedules with work schedules, financial aid, relationships with friends/family/co-workers/roommates, etc. (There were no public displays of affection, just usual conversation). While we were sitting there talking, a straight couple walked up to get pictures in front of the store sign. They posed with different expressions, some funny, some serious. In their final poses they kissed.
I immediately thought of this letter and wondered how the situation might have played out had we (my boyfriend and I) been the ones posing in front of the sign kissing in the presence of the straight couple. Would they think we were somehow being intolerant of their beliefs? Would they be disgusted? Would they ask us to not kiss in their presence? Would they get up and walk away? Would they laugh like Chan described in this letter? Or would they not even notice?
My boyfriend and I talked about this letter and that experience a little bit later in the day. Interestingly, he didn't even notice the couple was kissing while they were posing for the picture. In my opinion, just like the straight couple kissing went unnoticed, the ideal would be for no one to notice gay couples kissing, or to pay no more attention to them than one would pay to a straight couple kissing.
advoc8 posted at 10:44 pm on Tue, Aug 31, 2010.

dangerhighvoltage -- I'm simply asking for clarification to make sure I understand. I understood that you were referring to religion (i.e., the idea belief that homosexuality is a sin) when you said "intolerant of others' beliefs". If such was not the case, kindly clarify.
To be sure I am not misunderstood, I do not identify with the gay community, and I do my best to respect the rights of all people to believe what they will even if it is different from my own personal beliefs -- yes, even the rights of gays/lesbians to believe and act differently than me (so long as it does not infringe on my rights).

I'm glad to see an example where visceral emotions and unkind words were not expressed toward the couple.
dangerhighvoltage -- Do you see this couple's "extravagant" public kiss as intolerance toward those who believe homosexuality is a sin? If so, please explain.
common sense -- What makes a kiss "immoral, unnatural (and potentially evil)"? Is it simply because it occurred between two people of the same sex? When is kissing between opposite-sex couples immoral?
Joe Moe -- Only if the author volunteers information will we know exactly what kind of kiss occurred. What I hope we, as citizens of this valley, will not do is make judgment strictly because a lesbian couple is involved.
Moreover, as defined, extravagant means "exceeding what is appropriate". What is appropriate? The author defined what he/she felt exceeded appropriate for the context in which the kiss occurred. In other words, "appropriate" is a subjective term: what is appropriate to me is not appropriate to you and may not be the same for the author. Furthermore, It is important to keep the limitations of the author's perspective in mind. Variables beyond his/her sight might have influenced the "passion" of that kiss. You say you don't care to see anyone passionately kissing in public; would your opinion change if you saw public, passionate kissing that involved one person who had been away from his/her spouse/partner/significant other for one or more years and occurred at first sight following that period of time? (I ask because I agree that usually I do not care to see passionate kissing in public, however, there are situations such as the one cited that I think I might stop and say, "Aw." Granted, that probably wasn't the case for the situation the author described, but neither you nor I can know with any degree of certainty.
Regarding the author's motive for writing the letter. If the author had "ulterior motives", is that a bad thing? If it is bad, what makes it bad? And Joe, what message do you think the author intended? What evidence can you provide to support your claim?

More on liberal hypocracy and mental illness. Hey, if the shoe fits.
"Like spoiled, angry children, they rebel against the normal responsibilities of adulthood and demand that a parental government meet their needs from cradle to grave.The roots of liberalism – and its associated madness – can be clearly identified by understanding how children develop from infancy to adulthood and how distorted development produces the irrational beliefs of the liberal mind. When the modern liberal mind whines about imaginary victims, rages against imaginary villains and seeks above all else to run the lives of persons competent to run their own lives, the neurosis of the liberal mind becomes painfully obvious."
"Modern liberalism's irrationality can only be understood as the product of psychopathology. So extravagant are the patterns of thinking, emoting, behaving and relating that characterize the liberal mind that its relentless protests and demands become understandable only as disorders of the psyche.The "Liberal Mind" reveals the madness of the modern liberal for what it is: a massive transference neurosis acted out in the world's political arenas, with devastating effects on the institutions of liberty.

This "situation" you have fabricated was as believable as the Guitar hero drumstick beating of a would be robber that occured in Hyde Park recently... All total bull.

Curly,
Ya ... it's gravity and inertia really.
Hey, if they were hot, I'd have watched without a cringe.

You were witnessing a counter-culture experiment. Not love. When I see ANY pair making out in public I am not seeing love at all. I am seeing disrespect for an intimate act both for each other and those viewing it.
Why were you laughing? Why did it grab you?
It worked!
What you saw was similar to a streaker or a dude puffing a doob on the street corner without concern for some closet.

The thoughts of 2 girls kissing sends shivers up my legs! WOOT WOOT![beam]

@ Joe Moe. What is "tad extravagant"? I got nothing from the reading that the kiss was so over the top, as you would dramatize. Had it been, I would have commented that whether heterosexual or same sex, the parties involved should rent a room.
However, it seems only those who are biased against same sex kissing/couples have a problem with what happened that day across the intersection.

It seems like some here would like to see the bowhunters take these two doe out.[smile]

Perhaps you need a third reading, or a thesaurus. They "began" kissing (who uses that language with a kiss on the cheek, a peck, or even a double peck?)...and... "the kiss was a tad extravagant...." It seems you are intent on seeing this in a certain light, to miss it even after a "second reading."

weber1- Outside of any letter written by a Nilson or Tom Miller, you may be right.

Hey. Apparently you haven't read the ones from various members of the Nilson family. Talk about nut jobs.

This is probably the dumbest letter that has been submitted to the HJ this year. I think next weekend my wife and I will drive to Logan so we can makeout on the corner of 4th N. and main and then write a letter to the editor about it.

I do not believe, even with the second reading, I read the word "passionately" anywhere. Could have been a short or lingering kiss or a double pecking on the cheek. I believe the writer would have said 'passionately' and/or 'down-the-throat kissing', had it been so.
Good try for the drama angle.
I don't read "ulterior motive" in the letter as bloggers have mentioned. It appears to me a musing of sorts that isn't it great 'the world goes round' in more ways than one.
Joe Moe posted at 9:29 am on Sun, Aug 29, 2010.
I for one don't care to see ANYONE passionately kissing in public. Some things are just better left at home, even for the kissers themselves (unless they have some ulterior motive, like teenagers showing off in school that they have bf/gf).
But the letter isn't so much humanistic; on inspection, the letter writer seems to have her own ulterior motive in writing the letter (as dangerhighvoltage and advoc8 suggest). It seems to really be about the politics of the "message" she mentions....

Orion thinks our society has evolved. I contend that our society has become so decadent that nothing shocks the sensibilities any more. Comparing an immoral, unnatural, and learned behavior to being black is just plain WRONG. Evil is evil no matter how it is painted.

Advoc8, In the past, same sex individuals were at risk of, and indeed killed as a result of scenes like those the letter writer describes. Yet here we are now in 2010 reading a letter where one can write of such a picture and find pleasure in how far society has come.
Like the Black Movement of 40 years ago, how rewarding to once more watch acceptance and redress of an abused minority unfold.

And the point of this letter was...?
Probably to start a fight between anti-gay people and the "intolerant of others' beliefs" gay community.

I thought rotation on it's axis made the world go round . . . .

And, do you get equally "uplifted" when you see a hetero couple kiss like that?

Chan,
How do you know one wasn't that sissyboy Manboob? Or the other sissyboy WallyFatBoy?[sneaky]
