Mr. Renteria, thank you for the article and for not jumping on the band wagon of political correctness. These idiots continually try to shove their lifestyle off on the rest of us in an attempt to force the rest of society to accept what they do as acceptable. When they get called on it they want to claim discrimination. I would just advise them to use common sense.

<quoted text>If a woman kisses a woman in public you of all people would be ok by it and i bet you would even try to get pictures and post them in youtube,but since we live in a double standard town lets point the finger a this gnetleman who showed affection between each other. You should know that in the muslin religion it is customary to hold hands and kiss each other in the cheek to show affection between men. Times are a changing and you should just keep your comments about people with other preferences to your self, or are you free from guilt? Everyone in this world has skeletons in their closet, and the only one who can judge us is GOD!

Do you find the article disturbing, or is it too much for your small brain to process?

El Paso Times, Texas, Ramon Renteria column: Kissing at Chico's Tacos is in bad taste [El Paso
Jul. 12--EL PASO -- Chico's Tacos is a great place to hang out any time, especially when you're muy hungry after hours.
Chico's is an El Paso institution, their flauta-like tacos so revered and craved that parents will ship them cross-country by express air freight to students attending college elsewhere.
So you can imagine how high El Paso eyebrows were raised when the media got wind of the chisme.
Police said a group of five gay guys was asked to leave a Chico's restaurant after two of them were seen munching. Not on the crunchy taquitos smothered in cheese and tomato sauce but on each other -- as in kissing in public.
The last time we checked, tacos de lengua were not on the official Chico's menu.
Media reports suggested this was a simple kiss, not exactly the more intense public display of affection that you might see at a San Francisco bistro. The incident sparked a debate in conservative El Paso over whether the security personnel and police officers responded appropriately.
It's not anybody's business what gay or straight couples do within the confines of their private lives. When you kiss your girlfriend, boyfriend, spouse or partner anywhere in public -- no matter how passionate or innocent the kiss -- it becomes everybody's business. You rub your lousy behavior in our face.
Does a straight guy have the right to touch his girlfriend's behind in church?
We all go to Chico's expecting to emerge with our tummies happily bloated and our tongues burning from
the jalapeno salsa. While Chico's Tacos attracts all sorts of characters, some interesting and others just plain weird, we do not go there to be entertained or repulsed by the diners in the next booth.
What ever happened to common decency?
How many times have you begged your sons and daughters not to kiss like monkeys in heat at the mall, the movie theater, the concert, the stadium and especially restaurants?
Kissing at restaurants is inappropriate, a basic lack of respect for others. Diners don't want to see you barefooted, bare chested or swapping DNA.
Grandparents don't want to have to explain to 4-year-old grandchildren why two dudes were kissing at Chico's. "Don't look, mija. Here's another bunch of quarters, go play another video game. Pronto."
We can argue all night over whether the authorities should be applauded or condemned, whether civil rights were violated in this situation, and whether we are tolerant or not.
The bigger question is whether any of us, regardless of our sexual orientation, should be kissing at Chico's, Starbucks or any other public venue, even if it's not illegal and even when your peer group condones this type of behavior in public.
Necking in public never blends well with that double order with extra cheese and extra salsa on the side.

It is not about being homophobic, it is about being respectful to others. You do not have to show the whole world that you are gay from head to toe. If the gay community or whatever they want to call themselves, want respect they should respect others. Likewise any other groups out there.

I cant wait till all morals are gone and this issue turns into Man fingering his dog at chicos. Some things just arent supposed to be explored. Man on Man is one of them.

From a Biblical standpoint, the rise of homosexuality is sign that a society is in the last stages of decay.

There's a world of difference between a man committing sexual acts of deviancy upon his pet and a man merely showing his innocent affection toward another consenting adult.
