"No one was listening to me," said Carlos Diaz de Leon one of the five men kicked out of the Chico's Tacos on Montwood and Trawood. Diaz and his friends were ordering food when two of his friends kissed. "It was honestly just a simple kiss," he said.

The group of five men proceeded to sit down when two security guards told them "We don't want that faggot stuff going around here," Diaz said. The group was then asked to leave. Diaz then proceeded to call the El Paso Police Dept. and he said that the officers would not listen to him. "I tried to tell them what happened and they wouldn't listen to me, they told me that if we didn't leave we would be cited for homosexual conduct.

they told me that if we didn't leave we would be cited for homosexual conduct.

Did they just make that law up on the spot?

Either that, or they haven't gotten an updated police manual since Lawrence v. Texas.

Can we cite people for Heterosexual conduct? I can think of lots of uses for that- especially in restaurants: Letting your kids run riot and make a huge mess then leaving the waitress a 7% tip and loudly arguing over 'who forgot to take the garbage out' come to mind as recent meal-ruiners.

I don't care what straights do in their bedrooms. It's their lifestyle choice and they will have to answer to Mama Cass when they die. I just don't want to have to see it.

Well I care. All they do is get married and then divorced. It's wearing down the moral fiber of the country and teaching our children that it's ok to quit.

Just like Sarah Palin.

You do have a point.

Really, we should be working to institute mandatory covenant marriages. Till death us do part, indeed.

How weird. I've made out with plenty of guys at Arriba Arriba and never had this problem.
