Well, I don’t much care for that stuff, but I’m not anti-gay necessarily, just anti pro-gay as in marriage or public displays. Anyway, thanks for the input, but i’ll give it a pass. I just wanted to express my FRopinion an the matter regarding Will Smith because he got a lot of conservative awakenings this week.
Im not gay, but I am anti flamboyant gay. If those folks keep it low key and out of my site, figure they can do what they want, but open pansyness just creeps me out.
From the video and Will’s statement in the video, the reporter tried to kiss him on the lips. . .yuck.
This was not the usual peck-on-the-(face) cheek that wimpy Euro’s do. This was an attempted full frontal homo kiss by the reporter who, no doubt, is a homo and wanted to get a picture of him smooching Will.
Made worse by the fact the reporter tried to kiss him on the lips.
I have to take a stance on your “wimpy European” mention. Its culture in many places for men to kiss men at a greeting among friends. When I visit my French friend’s restaurant I sometimes give him a proper French greeting. There is a huge difference between culture and just being gay.
I understand your point. . .but in this case, it WAS a homo trying to plant one on Will.
The whole kiss-on-the-cheek thing is creepy. But Euro’s do it so let them do it among themselves. We are Americans and don’t do it. So, in respect to the American culture, don’t do the kissy-face thing on an American.
Hey. . .here’s a thought. . .Americans are always told by the Euros to respect and tolerate Euro cultures, so, I say it’s time they honored and respected ours.
And using the French as an example. . .*snicker*. . .come on. . . ;-)
“Was he a homosexual or merely an eastern european following tradition thereby making Smith an intolerant bigot of multiculturalism?”
From the youtube I would say it was a heterosexual Slav following tradition.

I have to say, it has happened to me a couple of times and it is always startling and off-putting. Eastern Europeans already tend to crowd our sense of personal space anyway, then to suddenly be grappled and given robust, whiskery kisses on the cheek is disconcerting, to say the least.
Except for Will’s comment that they guy tried to kiss him on the LIPS.
It was cheek at first but then at the last second he tried to lip lock. That's when he got shoved back and slapped.
Watch it at 2 - 3 seconds. I -think- the Ukrainian was trying to cross over from the one cheek to the other. Will Smith was struggling and they brushed lips by accident. I think.
Anyway, here is a much more dignified and proper protocol IMO.

Wonderful clip. . .absolutely hilarious and true to form.
Thanks for reminding me. . .I have to dig out my Patton DVD and give it another viewing.
Total agreement here. It would have been nice to see the guy get clobbered, and even. Iced if the media would just STFU.
