An older article from Salon that perfectly encapsulates much of the vitriol that is spreading around the internet lately. If you’ve ever been to a professional sports game, you’ve likely seen or perhaps have been a part of the Kiss Cam. Basically, the camera will pan for couples in the crowd and put them on the big screen, compelling them to kiss.
Salon and internet ‘progressives’ have had enough. Salon ran an article in late 2013 calling the practice ‘Heterosexist and Juvenile.’ And that was just the headline.
Author Mark Joseph Stern has decided to launch an attack on the practice, which often elicits cheers from the crowd and kisses from happy couples.
At best, the kiss cam reinforces heterosexual norms and excludes gay people. At worst, it mocks same-sex affections and creates an atmosphere of homophobia.
Others on Twitter were quick to come up with the same conclusions

Ugh. What a load of nonsense. RT @erinrileyau: The Suns have a kiss cam. I hate this sexist, heterosexist bullshit. @afl, I expect better

reinforces heterosexual norms?
OH THE INHUMANITY!!!!!
hep me..... Im becoming INANITYPHOBIC!!!
I know I’d feel safer at night.
I detest it for no other reason than it’s just plain stupid.
.
I think Salon is being heterosexist and Homophobic. Are they saying that two gay men couldn’t kiss on the camera?
I was wondering when those would come under attack.
Notice how, now, they’re trying to say that the assumption of heterosexuality is somehow a “threat”?
“Salon ran an article in late 2013 calling the practice ‘Heterosexist and Juvenile.’”
Translation: wholesome and fun.
Whar’s next?
The gay cam, coming soon to a sleazy (redundant) sports network.
Eeeeeuuuuuuuuuu!
And the rest of ALL HUMANITY replies:
“Hey Slate.... SHUT UP!”
How many of their parents were heterosexuals?
Disclaimer: I do realize that there is some number of “parents” that utilized turkey basters and other forms of artificial insemination, but I suspect many of those kids turned out straight.
This is all setting the stage for a formal declaration by the media that natural heterosexual relationships are abnormal and discriminatory.
And the Republicans in Congress will go along with it.
I am every kind of -phobic you can imagine.
When someone accuses me of being a whatever-phobic or a whatever-ist, I just agree:
“yeah, thats right, I am whatever you just said. Now, what are you going to do about it?”
I stopped trying to keep up with a whatever-phobic I was a long time ago.
Then everyone at the office begins to wonder why Barry over there in corner has no pictures on his desk, and never talks about what he did over the weekend?
Before you know it, all forms of heterosexual lifestyle, especially the family photos on the desk, will be driven out of the workplace.

Aw, geez.
I am total convinced that the left lives in a humorless, colorless, dark world of their own design.
And you’re not allowed to point this out.
It must be wonderful sitting around in this bleak nirvana, jerking in a circular fashion, while bleating nonstop about the superiority of we enlightened ones...
If Salon and the gays want real homophobia, let them keep trying to shove faggotry down Middle America’s throat. We’ve had it with all these 2% minorities trying to rule the nation by force of law given to them by liberal democrats in government. Society will reject them all like a body rejects a bad kidney!
Slate/Salon, same thing.
“I understand that you use the term Xphobic in order to avoid addressing the indefensible aspects of X’s behavior or lifestyles, but it doesn’t work on me. Now address those aspects. Or are you a moralphobe?”
