An Excellent Example of Protest

From the Huffington Post:

"Two men who kissed one another were kicked out of presidential candidate Rick Santorum's rally Friday evening at Christian Liberty Academy in Arlington Heights.
Santorum was 15 minutes into his speech when the two men shouted and got the attention of the crowd. They exchanged a kiss, prompting guards to eject them and the crowd to chant "U-S-A" while they were leaving the gym.
When asked whether the kiss was a public display of affection or merely a symbolic act, Timothy Tross of Lombard and Ben Clifford of Algonquin, declined to comment.
'I don't think the message should be about what my sexuality is," Tross said. "It's the message that he's saying about sexuality that matters.'"
This is a very positive way to send a message against those who believe that LGBTQ people are lesser human beings. It is a sign of love, which any reasonable person would never condemn. A kiss is quite simple, and if any straight couple were to do so during the rally, it would go unnoticed. If anything, they might even be praised for demonstrating strong "family" values, or something along those lines.
