Scarce chicken lips: Great gay kiss-off lays a gigantic egg

[_bcspace]

This was billed as the greatest protest since Occupy Wall Street. Thousands of scantily clad gay men and lesbians said they’d lock lips in a coast-to-coast red-hot make-out session.

They were to blast anti-gay-marriage comments made by Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy. But gays preferred staying home to watch “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.”

Tumbleweeds could have rolled through the Paramus Park Mall in New Jersey yesterday as a symbol for the lack of stamina in the national kissing campaign.

From Georgia to California, protests drew yawns, not saliva.

Even in Atlanta, the home of Chick-fil-A, only two dozen kissers showed up. And there was a similar lack of necking in Chicago, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and San Francisco.

...................

But there wasn’t enough gay outrage to draw more than one person who was actually gay.

She was Laura Fram, 34, a gay Republican vegetarian, who said Chick-fil-A was “hateful and hurtful.”

But her main problem was that she had no one to kiss.

“If you find someone for me to kiss, I’d be willing — but only a woman,” Fram said before running to pick up her daughter.

One disappointed by the smooch fiasco was Curtis Sliwa. The radio talker and Guardian Angel has been urging people to come out and eat.

“I was here to realize every male fantasy — watching lesbians kiss,” he said. “Now I get to buy a spicy chicken sandwich and waffle fries.

“I’m disappointed.”

You’re not the only one.

Some locations might be unfertile ground, but if this happened at the City Creek Mall, there would surely be a crack in the cosmic chicken egg.

I find myself wondering why bc is chortling over this.

- Does it somehow validate the anti-equality viewpoint?
- Does it reflect a shift in public opinion against marriage equality?
- Or does he just see it as some kind of "win" for his "side"?

Americans are still increasingly embracing equality, because it's right and fair, and that trend will continue. It's a certainty that the haters will lose in the long run. So really, what has this chicken fight proved?
