The M’s vs. The Gays

Lesbian says she and her partner were tossed from Safeco Field [1] because they kissed, violating the Mariners “code of conduct [2]” against “displays of affection not appropriate in a public, family setting.”
And yet, that drunk Red Sox fan in front of me on Monday who stood for an entire inning piss-drunk and showing off her coin slot? She gets to stay.
And also, we can’t subject our poor sensitive childrens’ eyes to the thought of a same-sex couple sharing a smooch, but yet we allow them to watch Jose “slugging .349″ Vidro and Richie “batting .200″ Sexson anchor the worst offense money can buy? Or a team with a total salary of $110M yet is on pace for a mere 55 wins?
Clearly, the Mariners’ priorities are wrong. I’d rather be explaining to my daughter why those two women are making out than why the M’s spent $44M on Carlos Silva to throw batting practice fastballs.
