Ballpark Kiss Stirs Conflict

You know the song a kiss is just a kiss.  Not so far.  Some kisses are different than others, at least at Seattle Mariners’ Safeco Field.

Last week a lesbian complained that an usher at Safeco Field asked her to stop kissing her date because it was making another fan uncomfortable.  The incident has reverberated through local TV, radio and the internet.  Sirbrina Guerrero and her date were approached in the third inning by an usher who told them their kissing was inappropriate.

The usher, Guerrero said, told them he had received a complaint from a woman nearby who said that there were kids in the crowd of nearly 36,000 and that parents would have to explain why two women were kissing.

“I was really just shocked,” Guerrero said. “Seattle is so gay-friendly. There was a couple like seven rows ahead making out. We were just showing affection.”

Two steps forward, one step back.
