Nope. I drove a cab whilst in college, and neither I nor any other driver got paid enough to justify someone treating us like we were robots who existed only to serve them, which is essentially what you are doing when you arrogantly spout that bullshit about buying an illusion of privacy.

I agree with you, I think 90% of PDA is gross. The taxi driver in question is obviously a complete asshole, there’s no denying that. But I don’t really want to watch anyone making out, and would especially dislike it if they were two strangers I was driving around in my car.

I do not defend the cabbie calling those women “bitches,” “cunts,” and “whores.” Nor do I defend what was very likely a homophobic response because I’ll bet he wouldn’t have treated a straight couple with that much hostility.

I used the term “we” because I’m not comfortable disclosing my gayness to everyone I meet. Especially strangers on the internet. It isn’t a contest over who’s the lesbianist-lesbian-to-ever-lesbian. Maybe I am contributing to my own errasure. And I’m sorry for doing so. But I don’t like comments about what I can and…

Nope. I work service industry, and the number of times I’ve had a straight couple making out inappropriately is too high to count. It is gross and inappropriate for a public space where you are being given service by another, regardless of the sexual or gender identity of the couple. It forces the service person into…

Is it possible that some people *actually* don’t like heavy petting in public across the board? Honestly, I would dare to say straight couples are more offensive because they know they can get away with it and push the boundaries of decency (I have never heard one of those weird public sex stories about homosexuals -…

Okay, how are we suppose to comment on the article than? I think most people can agree that these two should not have been threatened or called names. The article was phrased incorrectly (public makeouts) to lead the reader to believe they were engaging in something more “scandalous”.

No. I’m with Fighting_Polish on this one. I’m glad that the women had their day in court and won. Because yeah, no one breaks up PDAs between straight couples so it’s essentially always discrimination when people interrupt gay couples like this. But, it is certainly not true that PDAs are part of being in a…

If there was a thread about straight PDA i would say the same thing.

I’m going to assume they’re referring to the -cab- being gross and go skipping off into the sunset.

According to both their sworn testimonies, Thorton and Spitzer weren’t “smooching” or having a “makeout” or “copp[ing a] feel” – it was just a “peck on the lips”.

oh oh oh god ugh ugh I had managed to block that feeling out but it is the WOOORSSTTT.

okay, maybe this is TMI, but it's the internet, so. one time i had this terrible and intense pain on my clitoris for about a week. sitting was painful and crossing my legs was painful, and i couldnt for the life of me figure out what it was. then finally one day i figured out that one of the HAIRS from my HEAD had…

So fun when you're in the shower and yank a long strand out of your butt. Ow.

Since you’re piggy backing, is it ok if I piggy back as well?

When I arrived at the church, my soon to be father in law hugged me. His cigarette set my beautiful finger length double veil on fire. My soon to be mother in law gracefully and completely without a fuss, put out the fire, removed the charred edges, hid the damage, hugged me tight, and sent me into the church. 26…

she also wrote the last of the really great whangdoodles, which was all about the importance of imagination and believing and all of that. really great stuff.

Oh. My. God.

had made no other headlines I know of except for this age milestone.

and she made available a picture of herself where she's wearing clothes, not using illegal narcotics/holding paraphinelia, and had made no other headlines I know of except for this age milestone.
