Irish bar owner apologizes to students ejected after gay kiss

I am hardly a "holier than thou halfwit"! I merely feel that gay people should confine their smooching & other acts of affection to gay venues, and to private settings. Yes, I feel that consensual dating, straight or gay, is none of a boss's business, so long as it: 1) Is consensual; 2)Is done after work, and 3)No overt favoritism or negative treatment is displayed, because of the after hours association!

Loosen up, especially SingleDonald, who often insists on his right to have his special kind of relationship despite societal and workplace norms! This dating couple didn't turn Mr. Kiely's pub into Woodstock II. They didn't throw an impromptu orgy in the Old Oak. Most pub patrons wouldn't even notice a kiss between a couple.

I never kiss or fondle my wife out in public. So why do the gays have to play with each other so everyone can see. Become priest.

Some people are born gay. If their choice is to have sex with the people they are naturally attracted to or live a sexless, unhappy existence so as not to offend odious holier than thou halfwits like SingleDonald and Wanakbrannan I know which one I'd choose.

Typo below; of course I meant to write "homosexuals", in the 1st sentence!

I know I will be criticized for this, but, here goes. I do believe that honosexuals and lesbians, when entering a heterosexual venue, should refrain from kissing, and performing other affectionate acts. Most of society is straight, and we consider such things as two men smooching, or slow dancing together, to be abnormal, and offensive. If they want to do those things, they should go to gay bars, and other gay hangouts. Yes, if a heterosexual couple agreed to accompany a gay friend into one of these establishments, they should similarly refrain from smooching and close slow dancing, while inside. BTW, gay poet Allen Ginsberg was once asked this: If God gave you a choice, before you were born, would you have chosen to like guys, or girls. The poet's answer is revealing. He said that, of course, he would have chosen to like girls! I read this when he passed away, in 1997.

Are you seriously suggesting wanakbrannan,that God our creator occasionally 'gets it wrong'?? Gay men and women KNOW they are different, with out having any understanding of what it is to be 'gay', long before pubescence!Ever asked any? Somehow I doubt it.

Apparently, Guayness is good for you!

i'm glad this was STRAIGHTENED between the GAY couple and the owner.....HOWEVER, i highly suggest he has a TALK with his staff and makes it CLEAR that his pub is GAY FRIENDLY. STAND UP FOR WHAT'S RIGHT: EQUAL RIGHTS FOR which includes GAY RIGHTS. alisa

I'd say God is watching. She made gay people in Her image and likeness too you know.
