Don't Kiss Your Girlfriend at Safeco Field (Note: Applies Only to Women)
Published 5/29/2008 by Josh Alper at FanHouse
Filed under: Seattle, Mariners, AL West, MLB FansMany a major league ballpark runs a Kiss Cam on the big screen between innings on the big screen. You've probably seen it, they scan the park for couples who then smooch to the roar (or apathy) of the assembled masses. Because of that, I've always assumed that kissing was A-OK at America's ballyards. Well, either Seattle isn't in America or they've got a real problem with homosexuality. A lesbian couple enjoyed a brief peck on the lips at a recent Mariner game and were met with a swift and angry reaction from stadium security. ...

Safeco Lesbian Kisser Sirbina Guerrero: Victim of Discrimination, or Attention Whore?

... If so, shame on the security guard, and we hope the Mariners--who say that their security guards would never target same-sex couples--will handle this situation in the same classy way that the Dodgers did. But, consider this: We're supposed to believe that a reality TV star, one of a show in which she's competing with 29 other people for a lay, was being modest in public? I'm more likely to believe that Raul Ibanez is a great defensive outfielder. Via With Leather and Slog

Safeco Not A Welcoming Place For Gay Couples Brazen Enough To Show Affection [Lady Love]
Published 5/29/2008 by DAULERIO at Deadspin
According to one unhappy Mariners fan, the security guards at Safeco Field almost got her tossed her out of a Mariners game last week because she was "making out" with her girlfriend in the stands. The offended lez, Siibrina Guerrero, a Tia Tequila cast-off, as pointed out by another man who's most likely made out with a Seattle lady or two , tells Seattle's KOMO (rhymes with...) news that she wasn't making out, just pecking, "And he (the security guard) goes 'there's a lady whose son says he saw you guys making out, and I did, too. And you have to stop.' And I said 'well, we weren't making ...

WEEKEND PICKS: KIMBO IS A GIRL'S NAME
Published 5/30/2008 at With Leather
What to watch for in this weekend's biggest matchups.  One team or another in ALL CAPS.

UFC over EliteXC -- Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to watching people hurt each other on Saturday night without having to shell out bucks for Pay-Per-View, but I have to agree with just about everything in Dan Wetzel's takedown over on Yahoo.  One star does not a ...
