Same Sex Kiss Day is a reaction to comments last month from Dan Cathy, who said he supported "the biblical definition of the family unit" and that backers of gay marriage were "arrogant."
Carly McGehee, a Dallas political activist who came up with the idea of the kiss-in, said more than 15,000 people said they would join the protest since she posted an announcement on her Facebook page on July 19. (SNIP) An anti-kiss in protester, Leroy Swailes, 61, of Oxon Hill, Maryland, said he had seen two same-sex couples - one male, one female - bussing inside the restaurant earlier.
"I'm a specialist. I've been doing this since the '60s, protesting homosexuals," said Swailes, who was dressed in clerical garb with a T-shirt over it with lettering that said "The Resurrection of Sodom and Gommorah."

I went to the Lombard location (across from Yorktown Shopping Center) for Dinner today.
In & out in under 5 minutes and not a poofer in sight.
I had spicy chicken & waffle fries. Food tasted real good. I will be going there again.
Watching two men laying a big wet one on each other would definitely kill my appetite.

They’re admitting it’s repulsive. This is not good for them.
Our local newspaper has ZERO coverage of today.
Mall security had banned the reporters from covering the Wednesday event—not even allowed to talk with people in line.
That made the zero-coverage option decision very easy.
If a kiss is planted in a CFA and there is no reporter to cover it, is it still a protest?
I think we got a sneak peek of the upcoming election. The Tea Party and the “quiet conservatives” are not going to be waving flags and yelling at people ... they are just gonna’ show up and make it happen, just like they did this week. Seeing what I personally saw Wednesday, it reminded me of my march in DC with the Tea Party folks a couple years ago. A quiet surge. What this really shows is how well people are “tuned in” to what is going on. One guy (Huckabee) mentions it, the social media picks it up, the mainstreamers pick it up to ridicule it ... and as a result... MILLIONS of people respond. We saw it in the last election, I really believe we’ll see a landslide this time. The polls would not have predicted all these people showing up Wednesday, and they were predicting a “significant” turnout for the kiss in ... wrong both times. Something is happening that libs are not going to forget.
Really, we couldn't ask for a better validation of the position of the conservative argument.
