Same-Sex Couple Sues After Faced With Ultimatum at Mariners Baseball Game

Anyone who has attended a Major League Baseball game in the past decade has probably seen a "Kiss Cam" where couples throughout the ballpark are featured locking lips on the big-screen JumboTrons.

But controversy over ballpark kissing erupted at Safeco Field in Seattle this week when a same-sex couple claimed they were discriminated against because of their sexual orientation, which stadium officials deny.

Sirbrina Guerrero, 23, says she and her partner, who requested anonymity, were just "exchanging pecks," not acting any differently than heterosexual couples at the game, when park officials told them to stop "making out" or leave the facility.

"We were acting the same as any other dates that were out there, except we were a lesbian couple," she said. "When you bring a date to a game, you kiss once in a while. But it's not like we were making out. We were just kissing as regular couples do. I would never make out with anyone at a baseball game."

My perceptions come from 20+ years living and working in the Bay Area, including San Francisco, and having gay and lesbian college roommates. You’re right, narcissism isn’t always the case; many lesbian women were molested or raped by men, and many gay men had no or abusive father figures and seem to be seeking the masculine love they missed out on as children. And no, this doesn’t cover everyone, bu this is what I found in my own experience...and some of it was told to me by homosexuals themselves.

They really need to keep that type of perverted behavior in their bars where it belongs.
