thanks for that article!
Call me cynical but I'm surprised the AP didn't try and get to comment on the Iraq war at the end...

I have a large print of the photo in my bedroom. It really makes me happy to look at it everyday and remember a more "romantic" time in our history.

What paper would run that picture today? It's too politically incorrect: it's heteronormative, portrays warmongers in a positive light, serves as a display of patriarchal male dominance, and perpetuates the holocaust against Americans of Color by not showing any. ;)

Times have changed, but people haven't.

You got that right.
Those were ( in some ways ) better days.
If a man were to do that today, he would be either sued or put in jail.

Yeah, but you have to admit the Times Square photo was a very passionate embrace. That's what I love about it. The shear joy that the war was over and this sailor couldn't help himself!

"Ask Jeeves:"

What the heck is "heteronormative." I'm not picking a fight. I want to increase my vocabulary, and I don't have an unabridged dictionary in my house.

Thank you.

".....he would either be sued or put in jail."

Not to mention the "sex offender" label he would carry to his grave.

What the heck is "heteronormative."

It's a new concept gay activists have come up with - something else for them to take offense over. It means "reinforcing the idea that hetrosexuality is normal and homosexuality is abnormal".

What the heck is "heteronormative."

A buzzword much on vogue among the whacky lefties at US universities, heteronormative implies that the heterosexual lifestyle is normal, whereas homosexuality (and all other sexualities) are not normal.

Heteronormative is a word that queers apply to a situation that makes normal people seem normal, which by making normal people seem normal, by the process of elimination it makes sodomites/homos/queers/lesbians/dykes/trikes/trannys/blabla appear to be ... well, abnormal.

It's a real monkeyhumper of a word, ain't it?

It's really obvious that the kissing guy is Frank Sinatra.
