Making this story notable was the colloquy between the women and the security guard nicely set forth in the CBSMinnesota.com website for local television news,WCCO-TV by Susie Jones (with recorded interviews at the link):
A Minnesota Twins security guard has been reprimanded for allegedly scolding a lesbian couple for kissing. According to Taylor Campione and Kelsi Culpepper, (pic) they were a little late to the Twins game at Target Field on May 27, 2011. Culpepper stopped to go to the restroom and gave Campione a little kiss.
Then, Culpepper said a security guard came up to her.
“I saw you kissing that girl, you can’t do that,” the guard said.
Campione told the guard, she could kiss whoever she wanted to, the guard allegedly replied, “Well, we don’t play grab a** here.”
Campione told Culpepper, who then confronted the guard and said, “I don’t understand what’s wrong with kissing my girlfriend.”
They said the guard replied, “Well here in the stadium, we adhere to the 10 Commandments.”

Apparently the security guard is still on duty, although he was reprimanded for sharing his interpretation of the prohibitions applicable under the 10 Commandments at Target Field.
I think that they overreacted. It was only a kiss. they are taking to far with that kind of behavior.
ReplyDeleteI defy anyone to show me so much as one word in any of the Ten Commandments about same-sex kissing. This guard abused his authority to enforce his prejudices on attendees & should be fired if he hasn't already been.
