Outlaw Kisses
As if right on cue, after I write about the Berlin Memorial to the Homosexual Victims of the Nazi Era, the news has it that lesbian kissing is unacceptable in Seattle sports arenas. So there you have it—homophobia rears its ugly family-friendly head (just one of this many-headed monster's lip-smacking, fire-breathing faces) and screams: "Oooo, girl-kissing is icky!"
Right on. You know the drill. It's time to KISS OUT LOUD!
So maybe, after all, the dead, who cannot speak, might say, "Remember me." And then again, maybe they might say, "Kiss for me, my lips are cold."
