All Roy Gray of El Paso, TX wanted was to enjoy his breakfast in peace while reading the morning newspaper. But that was completely ruined by the front page article.

“I opened my Sunday morning paper while having breakfast with numerous golf buddies,” Gray writes in a recent letter to the editor. “The article on the first and second page made me catch my breath.”
Gray and his buddies found themselves confronted with a story that was about, wait for it, gay marriage. But not just that, it featured an “inappropriate” image of two guys kissing.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“Turning to the second page and witnessing two burly guys kissing just ruined five breakfasts,” Gray writes.
He feels things have officially gone too far at his local newspaper.

“It seems the El Paso Times seems to continually dedicate pages of pictures and stories about the LGBT community,” he rants. “But front page and another to include these guys locked up in a sensual kiss is over the edge.”
He admits that “America is changing” and has been “for about four years now,” and it’s all Obama’s fault since his administration insists on “testing the waters with liberalism far more than some are willing to accept.”
But he and his friends refuse to acquiesce.
“Most folks I know just cringed when they saw this article,” he concludes.

Aww poor baby. It is just terrible that equality ruined his breakfast. I bet he has never thought about how many LGBT lives he has helped to ruin with his bigotry.

I can’t tell you how much I hope at least one of this guys kids or grand kids grow up to be gay and he has to attend a gay wedding. Bigoted fool.
James
Why would you run a story about such a stupid idiot when there are so many more relevant and interesting people in the world. You could have run a story about the El Paso Times brilliant coverage of the LGBT community, but instead we get some hate filled moron using gays to further his life as a pathetic hate monger.

Perhaps this man should think about all of the public man-woman kissing gays have had to endure and accept because it was common practice by the straights. I still cringe when I see a man kissing a woman in public but I simply accept it and move on.

I bet the story upset the man so much he cut it out of the paper and had it laminated and keeps it in the back of his sock drawer. He probably even takes it out occasionally and re-reads it in the privacy of his own bathroom when his wife is away, just to remind him how much the whole subject disgusted him.

I hope it was ruined by them choking on it.

@Dave Downunder: I never wish a gay kid (or grandkid) on anyone because that would be grossly unfair to the child. I have friends whose parents have abused and even disowned them once they discovered that they are gay. So I usually hope that some day these homophobic bigots end up flat on their back in a nursing home fully staffed by gay and lesbian doctors and nurses who treat them exactly they way they deserve to be treated (and share a kiss or two right beside their beds).

Such Male Impersonators! Big strong–beat a queer–straight guys, who are so easily offended. Their Xtian values (those few that they follow anyways) are so besmirched. Their world view is limited, apparently, since this has been going on for decades now (although I bet they think of themselves as sophisticated and well-read). Does a man and a woman “sensually” kissing on the front and second page also drive him into a hand-wringing, tremulous, stomach-churning frenzy as well? Methinks someone doth protest too much.
Apparently they need a good slap on the back and a loud “Man Up, Sissy!”

Sometimes the thought of a penis in a vagina disgusts me, but then I get over it.
I suggest the poor little baby in El Paso get over himself.

He was just afraid his buddies would see his boner he got from the picture and figure out that all the post-game ass patting and bro hugs he was doing were actually fuel for his spank bank.

That poor man! We should all stop kissing other men just to make him happy.

To many men, rwo men kissing represents a breach of faith. Men are supposed to be buddies who bond through shared interests, not mutual interlopers. Even farting in front of one another is permitted among buddies.

The world changed, it didn’t fall apart as his team feared, it is time to accept the new reality, and move on.

I would like to have sex with my boyfriend in front of them.

I hate seeing any couple kiss! Yuck! Men women doesn’t make any difference. Guess when I got old and turned into a fuddyduddy, it grossed me out. Germs, sucking on someone’s face and lips and tongues where they pick their teeth and eat food and stuff. And if they have a partial or dentures warch out! Not to mention sores and Cheilitis.

Whenever I see an article about Middle East religion practitioners, I get nauseous. They tell children they are cursed by some Middle East deity and then they try to get them to pretend to drink blood and eat human flesh monthly for the rest of their lives or to bow five times day to a meteorite that crashed in the desert. Makes me want to lose my lunch thinking about it.

@Brian: Thanks for sharing your weird dude-bro fetish.

Brian proves he’s homophobic and misogynistic.It’s not new.For the bigot guy move on and turn the pages.
Brian
@gayhope1990: Feminists are misogynistic as they seek to abort the babies who will turn into the young girls of tomorrow.
Dave Downunder
@mcflyer54: Good point, I hadn’t thought about that aspect of it.

@gayhope1990: LOL that’s funny coming from a hypocritical biphobic bigot troll like you.
Did this actually happen? It reads like something you would read in the onion or a satire joke article.
osman
this should enforce newspaper publishers to put more gay features in their papers !! seeing gay men kiss should not freak people out !!
Hussain-TheCanadian
Sounds like the person quoted in this article, along with “everyone he knows” are nothing more than a bunch of children. I get disgusted when I see a man and woman kiss, I don’t get “offended” or “outraged”. Like a grownup, I simply don’t stare, let it go, and move on with my life.

@EriKo:Shut up loser,you keep playing victim I see.I ain’t a troll like you piss off!You’re worst than Brian.He keeps posting again and again and again and again and again and again and again the same nonsenses with the same argument.He’s so tiresome.
David Bolton
@James: It’s gotten to the point where I visit this site maybe once a month. And every time it’s the same stupid shit that’s either made up completely, reported as news from Reddit, or something copied and pasted from Whisper. Queerty could be the Vanity Fair for gays and chooses to be Perez Hilton.
ErikO
@gayhope1990: You’re a troll, hypocrite, and bigot who hates bisexual people. Bigots like you don’t belong in the LGBT community or even the gay community.
