One of my GF's love's to show off her augmentations in public and I love her PDA's as well.
I'm sure you'd have no problem with your kids seeing us enjoy each other company in the store when you are out shopping for groceries.
It amazes me when people can gloss over what ever they want in order to justify their stance on a subject.

This is a perfect, textbook example of the true gay rights agenda. I've been saying it along with others that...while not all...gay, lesbian, trans, etc. have not only an agenda but believe they deserve special treatment. They DO want to shove their differences in other people's faces. They lie and say things like "it is none of your business who I go to bed with" while the truth for some is the want to FORCE you to pay attention to such things. They don't want you to tolerate them if you disagree with their lifestyle, they want to FORCE you to accept them for everything they are, believe and do.
They are (sometimes) quietly demanding you approve of them, accept their way of life as "normal" and "ok" and THAT is a battle they will never win. It is in fact, unwinnable for ANYONE to try to force acceptance from any other person that has the right to their own opinion.
So I'll say it again. We ALL have opinions and the right to have them. These fringe members of the gay community are doing the rest of you no favors by trying to force acceptance. All it accomplishes is making others believe they are asses which will do the opposite of acceptance. If you act as a civil, law-abiding member of society with the rest of us, don't be an ass and keep your personal choices to yourself...you will be tolerated. By some...maybe even many...you will never be accepted as "normal". Get over it...get over your self-importance and be a member of the rest of the human race.

Seriously, have we fallen this far? If some people had their way, we'd all just have sex wherever we want, like animals. Drop trou where we want and leave a steaming pile. While we're at it, let's have weed lounges with snack machines. Maybe some heroin drips in the pharmacy section.

How ironic that you suggest that last bit. We already have that! The pharmaceutical industry makes pills like Oxy that are highly addictive and yield the same high as heroin, often leading to heroin addiction (since heroin is often cheaper than the pills themselves). "Heroin drip in the pharmacy section" - seriously, what an apt way of putting it! Oh, and about "weed lounges with snack machines" - yes, let's have them! I'm all for the tax revenue that legalized weed would bring in. We already have "alcohol lounges" - they're called "bars," FYI - and you'll have a hard time arguing that weed is more dangerous than alcohol, both to the user and to the people around them whether they're still at the bar or driving home from it.

As far as proving bigotry, impossible. Bigots are more clever these days and hide their intolerance around certain ideas, but you can see their intolerance shine through with actions like in the OP. I mean if a witness' story isn't compelling enough to side with the prosecution on this case then SOMETHING is fishy here. The fact that you refuse to even admit that this cop was in the wrong is just odd. Like why are you doing everything in your power to try to clear this asshole's name? Bigotry or no, at the end of the day HE was in the wrong.

This argument can be taken in circles and circles. Now I can say "Stop being intolerant of my intolerance of your intolerance" - but we're not going to get that ridiculous, are we?
I will point out though that's it's pointless to argue with people who make so many assumptions (like how you obviously assume that I'm gay - I'm not - but I am standing up for what I think is right).
"This couple didn't respect themselves or the people around them. If they had, this never would've happened. Instead, this was attention whoring/grandstanding and baiting to get a rise out of people. It had nothing to do with PDA or love."
Where's your proof of this? Put on some clothes, Freth - your bias is showing, naked as can be.

Given the lack of a video, we're left with descriptions by the witnesses.

If they were homosexual, it stands to reason that, given past observations, they were making a public scene on purpose. Am I making wild assumptions? Possibly. Since we don't have enough information, the information we do have can paint a picture somewhat. Did I take creative license? Sure. Am I biased toward heterosexual vs homosexual? Well yeah, I'm heterosexual, it's natural to pick sides and make observations based on my own perspective. Isn't that what a forum is for?

Witness. One, as in singular, who also happens to be anonymous.
I would think if Officer Anger-Issues had other witnesses the couple would have had additional charges made on them or the ones they were accused of would not have been tossed.
