I agree they ought to remember "judge not.." and I'm proactive when I find one being judgmental, few have clean closets and didn't Jesus also have something to say about "ye who are without sin..." sometimes it's not hard to find and remind those apparently sinless ones of their particular sins.<br />Two, I see the word homophobia misused often in this thread to mostly apply by implication and structure to male homosexuality, but two women kissing is an homosexual act too, so those who object to two men kissing but not to two women can't really be called homophobic, my choice - and more accurate I think - instead is as*****s.Ztormbringerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12897453970650956965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510883037130821101.post-21040875682887189922011-04-20T11:52:25.679-04:002011-04-20T11:52:25.679-04:00Lily, it's because it's two men kissing. H...Lily, it's because it's two men kissing. Homophobia is alive and well on Facebook. I doubt a photo of two women kissing would have been greeted the same way. I've seen straight erotic romance novel covers that were much racier than that photo, and they don't get yanked. From what I understand, the photo originated on a Facebook event page about a protest over a Brit bar that kicked out two men who were kissing in a corner. More on the story here:<br /><br />http://www.zdnet.com/blog/facebook/facebook-removes-photo-of-two-men-kissing/1228Elizabeth Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02322056244180901707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510883037130821101.post-17037102003134575202011-04-20T11:38:57.842-04:002011-04-20T11:38:57.842-04:00I don't get why there should be a problem with...I don't get why there should be a problem with that photo? They aren't doing anything other than kissing. At this point it shouldn't be a problem.

The religious nuts are making everyone's lives miserable, but they don't care. They have Jeezus behind them. :/<br /><br />Also, it looks like Facebook is becoming the meat market MySpace has turned into. Lots of creepy men trying to friend women. I've even run into a Nigerian e-mail scammer. And I thought they went the way of the dodo bird. LOL Jerk has the audacity to ask me for my bank information. I reported him. <br /><br />LOL on my profile picture, and thank you for the compliment. I'm thinking of changing my profile pic anyway. I'm long overdue. Just have to find something suitably snarky as a replacement. ;)Elizabeth Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02322056244180901707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510883037130821101.post-56530456543895017372011-04-20T09:59:18.828-04:002011-04-20T09:59:18.828-04:00E.

I figure, if you don't like what we write, don't read it. Don't friend us. Just don't go on a cowardly attack in your stuffy Victorian vapors mode and report our accounts for deletion. The sexual harassment incidents are related but different. For some reason, some men think that women who write about sex and romance want to have sex - with them. No, we don't. Don't retaliate by tagging our accounts as offensive.Elizabeth Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02322056244180901707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510883037130821101.post-41969820425100478102011-04-20T09:55:05.311-04:002011-04-20T09:55:05.311-04:00Pirate Princess, I agree.

It's obvious someone(s) complained and Facebook is making excuses about avoid obscenity lawsuits.Elizabeth Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02322056244180901707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510883037130821101.post-76085457988606573612011-04-19T23:16:38.753-04:002011-04-19T23:16:38.753-04:00I'm with you Elizabeth about saying no to cens...I'm with you Elizabeth about saying no to censorship. It's not like they were naked. That was a very tastefully picture.<br /><br />I see nothing wrong with other than it's two guys kissing. Would they do that to a picture of two women kissing or a man and woman? Bet you no.<br />It goes back to the holy roller syndrome. Thou think can judge and be the Creator.<br /><br />I say bite me.! Don't get me started on that. Anyway I like the comment bobjinpa had to say.<br /><br />Love is love. Take care Elizabeth.<br /><br />Teresa K.<br />tcwgrlup41@yahoo.comTeresa K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02924374150166433414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510883037130821101.post-43426035484826536622011-04-19T16:59:42.149-04:002011-04-19T16:59:42.149-04:00I'm male, neither homoerotic or homophobic, bu...I'm male, neither homoerotic or homophobic, but I did have one friend who I loved so much in a non sexual way. I had no problems kissing him. Love is love and between people it can't be wrong in my book. <br />It is not that this country is homophobic, it is just that this country has a severe overload of religious nuts who are against everything.<br />As for the the facebook attacks and YouTube attacks, I think that is a problem with these so called social media -- they also easily become anti social.<br />Lastly, that you have been propositioned by people seeing your picture. All I can say is you are a hot looking babe. But I won't proposition you. I am way too old for you.<br />HugsUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15886250963561688769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510883037130821101.post-83525982523715588722011-04-19T16:32:16.683-04:002011-04-19T16:32:16.683-04:00Great pics, and continue the fight.
