Didn't realize this moment was being filmed yesterday but I'm so happy that it was. My childhood self would never have dreamed of seeing a gay kiss on TV at the Olympics but for the first time ever a kid watching at home CAN! Love is love is love. pic.twitter.com/8t0zHjgDg8— Gus Kenworthy (@guskenworthy) February 19, 2018
There are lots of news stories about this.

You are on record as supporting the impeachment of Donald Trump even though there is no basis for such an action.
That makes you operationally aligned with the far, far, loony left and establishment swampies.
Unexpectedly.
As for the accusation that you parrot the views of democrats, that is only because you parrot the views of democrats.
But only all the time.

It is not normal to three sigma
If we are going to have gay kissing at the Olympics, can't it be hot Penthouse lesbian stuff?
*mic drop*
*thread over*
I just assume all figure skater dudes are gay. Don’t need the kiss to seal the deal. I think NBC is trying really hard to make sure that normal males tuning in have nothing to make them stay and watch these horrible, poorly presented programs.
What are you boys doing in here?
ST, are you sure those were women?
TM: "Homosexuality is rare in the same sense that being left-handed is rare"
That's why, if left to their nature, left handers do not reproduce.
It's "science".

Interesting video from Scott Hamilton's journey.

He would not be welcome on The View with Joy Behar and crew.
It needs to be put back in the closet. Where it belongs.
We need to go back to the timeless values that have served us so well through the centuries.
As Shouting Thomas has often said it was much safer and healthy for the gays when they were repressed and in the closet. Sure you had your occasional suicide but not the mass death triggered by AIDS.
Now if we can only go back to those separate drinking fountains we will be getting somewhere.
And there’s nothing wrong with that, either. It’s a perfectly natural, genetically-mandated reaction from a heterosexual male viewing homosexual males doing their thing. Not hatin’, just sayin’

A long time ago, I went with some friends to see a play at Arena Stage in DC. One of my friends was accompanied by her boyfriend, who was very liberal and PC. I was sitting next to him. At one point in the play, two guys kissed and my friend's boyfriend noticeably winced and said "Ewwww" under his breath. Later on, his only comment on the play was that it was "interesting." (Actually, it was a pretty forgettable piece of experimental crap.) I thought that was an interesting reaction - his instinctual response kicked in immediately. Then he remembered he was supposed to be progressive and cool with it.
I feared the comments would be cringeworthy.
We've all seen how You Know Who is constantly whining about being personally attacked. Yet invariably she is the one to start with the personal, rather than sticking to the topic at hand. Many of her comments not only are obsessed with Trump, but she also routinely is challenging Althouse to justify herself or otherwise making her comment about Althouse rather than what everyone else is discussing.
I feared the Olympic coverage would be cringeworthy.
I was right.
At least we didn't have to see a photo of them performing anal sex on each other.
What.
"If you weren't inclined to say no kissing!!! about all of them, then reflect on your antagonism toward equality and get back to me."
A married skating couple kissed at the conclusion of their performance. Did it get "equal" play? Most here didn't notice or dont recall it. The Althouse concepts of "equality" and "love" (8:10) are skewed in this context.
In this context "equally" means disproportionately: Disproportionate exposure of homosexuality in the public arena; Disproportionate elevation of recently enacted "rights" of homosexuals over the preexisting, conflicting rights of others; Disproportionate reverence for homosexuality as a social value; Etc.
"Love" doesn't take any of the forms of traditional love as we know it - always given voluntarily. This "love" is intended to push us past tolerating homosexuals and their aberrant behavior to embracing them either by shaming us a la Althouse or compelling us a la gay mafia litigation and brainwashing our children.
Beyond this, we are evidently expected to be too stupid to notice.
Meh. I don't care about the kiss. My objection is that the gay athletes seem to think they are there to represent gays, not America.
Exactly, exiled!
love > fear
It is only a matter of time until they show that on NBC.
You know that it will be depicted on a TV series as perfectly normal acceptable behavior.
New series. "This is Us....getting fucked in the ass."
If you don't sit with the whole family and watch this you are a filthy bigot and should lose your voting rights to illegal Mexicans and black felons who are the "Real America."
Yes.
Yes, endorsing Turtle at 12:30.
It's not only the Olympics or sports coverage that have been hijacked. They have shoved out of the way their own team members on the left. Get out of the way BLM. Take a back seat feminists. Shut up and take it when a "woman" with a penis wins the championship in women's athletics.
Everyone must bow down to the new totalitarians.
Transgenderism is trending. Polygamy is progressing.
Political congruence ("=") will be remembered as Pro-Choice, selective, unprincipled, and opportunistic, and bigoted.
I hear they are going to remake "An Officer and a Gentleman" with two gay dudes.
Can't you just see the handsome Air Force Pilot bursting into "Google" headquarters and lifting the winsome young twink in his arms as he lifts him out of his cubicle where he spends his boring mundane life deleting the accounts of Christians and conservatives.
The music swells. The crowd applauds. The fag hags and the Feminist men all get wet.
It's a no brainier.
Get Harvey Weinstein on the blower. Not not Rose McGowan. The telephone.
Go to some websites for abortion providers and you will see that they have even stopped calling abortion "a woman's right," explaining that some who identify as men can have abortions too.

Wrong. At the Althouse blog, there are no safe spaces for anyone. We like it that way. You should know that by now, Chuck.
"It's "your" commentariat, Meade. Own it."
Oh but I do. Every day, I give it a big juicy loving kiss of ownership. Right through its balaclava.

"And there’s nothing wrong with that, either. It’s a perfectly natural, genetically-mandated reaction from a heterosexual male viewing homosexual males doing their thing."
I'm not sure about the "genetically-mandated" part of that. The revulsion we feel at eating bugs and worms isn't genetically-mandated, it's learned. Lots of people eat bugs and worms. That's why I'm wondering if homosexuals feel the same way about hetero sex. Assuming that Triangle is correct about the prevalence of homosexuality, about a third of you are gay, right? Care to fill us in? I'm not sure I would accept Titus as representative. That boy is not normal.
Cheer up, people. Ratings are down, just as they should be. The world is still on track.
MayBee said...
#NotAllAlthouseCommenters
LOL. Quite true — only the part of the commentariat that has signed the consent form.
I'm not sure about the "genetically-mandated" part of that
You do realize, don't you, that genetics mandates and programs us -- and all forms of life -- to perpetuate the species? Otherwise we become extinct?
And you further realize that it is impossible for two men to reproduce and perpetuate the species by combining their pro-creative genetic material or injecting that material into another guy's digestive tract? You understand that the ONLY way to reproduce -- per the biological imperative -- is by men and women joining their respective pro-creative genetic material in the woman's reproductive tract?
Yes, it is genetically mandated that people orient themselves away from same-sex relations. It is not a learned behavior.
What is a learned behavior, contrary to the nature of the human person, is to engage in those same-sex relations that are inherently sterile and barren and which destine the persons involved to extinction.
And, to add to what was said earlier -- it is not about love. Sure, the people involved might say and believe they love each other. But then again, I dare say that every man commenting here loves other men -- fathers, brothers, other guy friends -- and they would even give up their lives for these other men. But they don't want to have sex with them.
It's not about love. It's about sex. And they are not necessarily the same thing.
langford peel: why are you stimulated by a plain vanilla auntie kiss to make multiple pornographic comments? This is clear evidence you are dangerously close to the dick-breath end of the gay spectrum, not that is anything wrong with that.
It's the homophobes who are making this political, duh. Why so titillated? Sad.
"It's not about love. It's about sex. And they are not necessarily the same thing."
True. Hence the commonly used expressionshave love and make sex.

"You do realize, don't you, that genetics mandates and programs us -- and all forms of life -- to perpetuate the species? Otherwise we become extinct?"
I get all that, and in fact made those very points a bit earlier in this thread, when explained that homosexuality is a perversion if anything is. But I am not so sure that the revulsion heteros feel for homo sex is genetic. As I said, there are other intense revulsions that are learned. There is also the fact that there is a strong component of recognition involved. You may not feel revulsion when you see a bug, it's only when you think about eating it. And you don't feel revulsion when you see a homosexual kiss until you realize that that is what it is.
As I recall, we pretended to be revolted by little girls when I was a boy. But I don't think we really were. Hard to remember at this point. No, not so. I remember one little blonde gal, when I was 4 or 5, and no way did I feel revulsion for her. She was a little sweetie. Looking back, I'd say I was in love. I used to bring her presents at kindergarten.
@Howard: Before I stopped watching last week, I noticed an udder lack of titillation. Breasts get in the way of sports.
Howard: "It's the homophobes who are making this political, duh."
Hardly amigo. It's the Maoist demand that all stand up to praise said event by those very lefties that are making this political.
As they've made everything political ever since "the personal is political".
Helps explain the increased Olympics viewer numbers this year.
For instance, we all know the Beatles sang "and in the end, the sex you take is equal to the sex you make."
Also:
"Sex, sex, sex
Sex, sex, sex
There's nothing you can intercourse that can't be intercoursed
Nothing you can shag that can't be shagged
Nothing you can lay, but you can learn how to lay the game
It's easy
Nothing you can copulate that can't be copulated
No one you can mate that can't be mated
Nothing you can screw, but you can learn how to screw you in time
It's easy
All you need is sex, all you need is sex
All you need is sex, sex, sex is all you need"
"Oh but I do. Every day, I give it a big juicy loving kiss of ownership. Right through its balaclava."

Ratings are down nearly 40 percent from 2010 in Vancouver.
Gee. I wonder why.
Don't be so uptight, people.
It is better to love.
Sure. So stop forcing me to.
Because that's the quickest way to get me to do the opposite.

That is not my position, and I am not "on record" as supporting an impeachment of Trump "even though there is no basis for such an action."
I am on record as saying that I see no basis, presently, for an impeachment. And I doubted that any such evidence would soon arise. And that if Trump were to be indicted/impeached/hounded from office, I said that I very much hoped and prayed that the evidence would be so overwhelming that even Sean Hannity would accept it. Because the only thing more obnoxious than "President Trump" in the future would be "Alt-Right Martyr Trump."
You nasty, miserable, lying piece of shit. There's not a day that goes by, when you don't stoop to some stupid, laughable misquote or mischaracterization of me. Purely to satisfy you inexplicable need to attack anything I write here.
I hate having to post comments like this. You are such a distasteful waste of time and attention.
Howeird
Chuck last week fantasized about Trump eating a hemlock-laced cheeseburger. Or three.
Howard said...
langford peel: why are you stimulated by a plain vanilla auntie kiss to make multiple pornographic comments?"
You consider the kiss the athletes tweeted out to be a "plain vanilla auntie kiss?"
Uh, Howard, I hate to break it to you, but most people don't kiss their aunties like that.
That physiological response noted for straights watching gays kiss is confounded by the same reaction to Hil/Bill on the beach.
So when does "couples" figure skating go gay?
It would introduce some new physics (maybe costumes too) into the event.
"@Meade: Last year was the 50th anniversary of the Summer Of Sex."
Good point, chicklit. Thanks. Explains why I'm so exhausted.
And Chuck, please, let's try to keep this discussion on topic can we?
MadisonMan is probably right about there never having been a televised hetero Olympic kiss.
In my opinion, the kiss was a purposeful, foisted stunt.
Rewind all the previous year's Olympics to disprove me.
Poor Chuck, so caught up in his pretend "principled conservative" online persona that he cannot even track with the thread topic.
This is what happens to "Dick Durbin" Republicans.
"ST, are you sure those were women?"
They were equipped with vaginas. I know because I looked.
By todays standards, however, that's not sufficient proof.
exiled: "You consider the kiss the athletes tweeted out to be a "plain vanilla auntie kiss?"
Uh, Howard, I hate to break it to you, but most people don't kiss their aunties like that."
Don't be so judgemental about other families practices.
I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for kissing one's Aunt in that way....even when the Aunt has a beard...and served in Korea.
"MadisonMan is probably right about there never having been a televised hetero Olympic kiss."
Apparently you Real Men don't watch the Ice Dancing or Pairs figure skating. Not that there's anything wrong with it.
Meade said...
"And Chuck, please, let's try to keep this discussion on topic can we?"
Chuck does a pretty good job of keeping every thread he comments in on the same topic. When Chuck thinks about homosexual kissing at the Olympics, his thoughts turn inevitably, like a flower seeking the light, to Donald Trump.
"let's try to keep this discussion on topic can we?"
Trump also likes to change direction of the the conversation. Just saying.
If Trump were a commenter on Althouse...
"They were equipped with vaginas. I know because I looked."
What were you, a shouting gynecologist?
Meade: "Apparently you Real Men don't watch the Ice Dancing or Pairs figure skating. Not that there's anything wrong with it."
I once watched Pears Figure Skating but had to turn it off. Too many fruits..

The last time I remember any brouhaha about a televised kiss was when Al Gore tasted Tipper's tonsils back in 2000. It was just as planned and political as this one was. Gore was trying to look like an alpha male, remember? Lunging at Tipper and planting a big wet smacker was part of that strategy, as was wearing brown and trying to rattle Dubya during the debates. Of course, ManBearPig and Tipper got a divorce a while later, so I guess their chakras were not in alignment or something.
"like a flower seeking the light, to Donald Trump"
Chuck is phototrumpotrophic.
If it was "just a kiss", she wouldn't have this post at all.
I wonder if LLR Chuck kisses his Dick Durbin blow up doll in the same way?
Check one of the following:
( ) Yes, but he bought dinner first
( ) No, because LLR Chuck is playing hard to get
( ) Perhaps, but Gentlemen never discuss such matters publicly
( ) Please pass the Sweet and Sour sauce
"Chuck is phototrumpotrophic"
Bigly.
My drummer for the last few years is a big old blue collar guy, The Bulldawg. When I met him, he was driving the honey truck. The first time we rehearsed he had just come from work and we nearly died from the fumes. Fortunately, he's moved on to driving for a fuel oil delivery company.
He liked to wear a t-shirt to gigs that read:
"I'm not a gynecologist, but I'll be glad to take a look."
Drago has ptsd from the cold war... still imagines Maoists under his bed trying to make him embrace the gay. I think Mike Pence does a better job demonstrating how far up a gay man can rise than Mao's Dung.
He didn't think the cameras were on him? He's either a liar or an idiot.
Howard: "Drago has ptsd from the cold war... still imagines Maoists under his bed trying to make him embrace the gay."
Hey, what Maoists under my bed do on their own time is their business.
Byt I am getting pretty tired of all the late night chinese food deliveries and empty containers under the bed.
ST,
Sounds like Bulldawg would make a good proctologist.
Howard: "Drago has ptsd from the cold war.."
My therapist told me I had anger issues.
So I slugged him.....
Was that wrong?
Meade observes: Wrong. At the Althouse blog, there are no safe spaces for anyone. We like it that way. You should know that by now, Chuck.
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, yes. Safe spaces, no.
I think it would just be Trumpotropic. Not to be confused with Trumpophilic. Trumpophobic? Wait, maybe I'm finally catching on, at my late age. Is a Trumpist someone who discriminates on the basis of Trump?
A kiss is just a kiss, but a "great kiss" is not just a "great kiss."
How do you know your roommate is gay?
So in the 2020 Summer Olympics, will we finally be seeing the acceptence of male gymnastics coaches making out with the minor girls on their teams?
Come on Skippy....
"Love is love is love" does not mean THAT you freak!
I think the Althouse comment consensus is in: The gays are icky.
Wads da madder Howie?
You are repelled and disgusted by explicit talk in a blog? You didn't come here for that? You tuned in and you get stuff you didn't want to see? You feel discomforted by something you don't agree with and think is just wrong?
Tough noggies.
Stop with the go to canard that people that find the gay deviants and perverts harbor such feelings themselves. That is the favorite move of the pillow biters and their fellow travelers down the Hershey Highway of Love.
If you don't like black people it doesn't mean you have a drop of the tar brush in your background
Now go put on your pussy hat and perform an abortion.

Homosexuality may have been around since the dawn of time, but only since the Age of Antibiotics and before AIDS has it been so without deadly consequences. 1969 Stonewall riots started the homosexual age.
I've said that bloggers get the commenters they deserve, but today at least that's not true.
Some commenters lack reading comprehension, so summarize conversations in a way that somehow makes the least out of all the complicated stuff they were reading. Some are deliberately ignorant, and make comments for rhetorical purposes so as to undermine conversations. Some just like to pee in whatever pool they're in so everyone gets out.
It's sometimes hard to tell which is which.

Drago: The problem with Maoists monsters under the bed is half an hour later, you get hungry for more fear
Paddy O: Just now figuring out how blog comments work. Have a cookie.
Actually, now that I look at the picture again, the most alarming thing about it is that there appears to be a couple of sticks going up the nose of the man in the pink cap.
Did the Stonewall riots look anything like this?
"MIlennia", said someone.
A someone...
Someone we all thought wise;

To put on the Supreme Court.
The gays are icky.
Is that better or worse than being Deplorable?
Homosexuality is rare in the same sense that being left-handed is rare. That is, it is relatively less common than being heterosexual or right-handed respectively, but by no means rare.
Actually, homosexuality is at least twice as rare as being left handed. Approximately 12% of humans are left handed. At the most, homosexuals are about 5% of the population.
I think it's fair to call something that is found 5% of the time to be rare.
The visceral disgust toward homosexuality that you see in these comments are not shared by younger people, regardless of political party. I read a poll recently showing a majority of young Mormons -- Mormons! -- see gays as perfectly normal. Some political change requires the older generation to die off first.
Howard: "Drago: The problem with Maoists monsters under the bed is half an hour later, you get hungry for more fear"
True, but the good news is that with 4 Fear you get egg roll!
The politically congruent screwed up when they advocated and forced "=". They had an opportunity to promote equality, and instead normalized selective exclusion. While it's in compliance with the doctrines of the state-established Pro-Choice Church, and their twilight faith, and it is not a wicked solution a la selective-child, it is a liberal (i.e. divergent) solution with progressive (i.e. monotonic) effects. Libertarians and conservatives had a better approach that would ended the cycle of corruption: a separation of church and state, remove government from factional rituals.
Earnest Prole, the acid test for these young Mormons would be for them would be to watch hardcore Gay porn and see how they react. I would expect the women would be less grossed-out than the men, since many straight women reportedly like watching Gay male porn.
Elbow deep, baby! Elbow deep!
The transgender spectrum, including the homosexual orientation, is what it is, nature, nurture, or choice. Does it have a redeeming value to humanity? Normalize it. Does it pose a clear and progressive threat to viability (e.g. abortion rites)? Reject it. Otherwise, tolerate it. The bigotry of political congruence ("=") is an inherent feature of the Pro-Choice Church and its liberal and progressive ideological sects.
@ William Chadwick
Extra credit for a compelling visual — no pun intended.
The "Love which dares not speak it's name" has become the "Love which will not shut it's mouth...even when kissing publically".
Like I needed another reason to not watch the Olympics.
Isn't it odd that Ms. Althouse, who is quite...prim when it comes to public displays of affection which involve more than hand holding, suddenly gets all squishy regarding a pair of men swapping spit?
Inconsistent but predictable.
since many straight women reportedly like watching Gay male porn.
I bet it's not as much as men who enjoy watching lesbian porn.

Would it be quantitatively judged or would style points be involved?
Since people are still here.... I read just far enough into the thread, yesterday morning, to read Chuck's first comment, which put my own anti-court-imposed-'gay marriage' etc etc position decently well, and then had to go out to work. I tried, on the bus en route to the office, to post a jocular comment, 'I could kiss Chuck for his sensible remark' or words to that effect. Glanced over a bit of the thread last night and was rather relieved that my mobile hadn't cooperated.
Stunning & brave.
Earnest Prole said... I read a poll recently showing a majority of young Mormons -- Mormons! -- see gays as perfectly normal. Some political change requires the older generation to die off first.
Love is love...and if you don't agree we'll all just cheer as you die off and only those of us who truly understand Love are left. Faster, please!
then reflect on your antagonism toward equality and get back to me.
Gotta file that one away somewhere--maybe back with "The backbone of society is the married, committed couple who channel their sexuality into making and growing the next generation. Those who do other things are free to make choices, but we as a society have no reason to facilitate their choices, especially their destructive choices." Unrelated, of course.
Anyway love is love--facilitate & celebrate!
