sigh...

i *am* gay, but i love this pic not 'cause it seems sexy, but b/c it seems so sweet...in my mind, they arent going to kiss, they are just feeling each other's touch on their skin, each other's presence so close, hear each other's breath, and feel the warmth radiating between them, so in love, and blissful, happy in each other...

it reminds me of me and my wife, how we lie in bed each night, our eyes closed, our arms around each other, close like them, smiling, and so warm and happy that we have each other and are together...sometimes i move closer to her and we rub our noses lightly together, as these girls seem to be headed for...snuggling with her is my favorite thing in the world, and is the best part of each day for me, and i see that in these two girls, and it makes me feel almost as warm and happy as when i am doing it myself...sigh...<3

sorries for the irrelevent comment~

This makes me want to run and check the facebook page of my hilarious friend who's been rocking the Tel Aviv gay scene for the past year. I'd like to imagine that's his arm in the pic, but he's probably out wearing some outlandish outfit and canoodling with a hot boy somewhere.

I'm kinda upset that the City of Atlanta made the Pride festival go from June to October this year because of the drought and needing Piedmont Park to be lush and all that.

And now the drought is over. CURSES!!!

@K: And I think our point (sorry to speak for the rest of you, ladies &/or gents) was that it's mildly homophobic to imply that such a qualifier is necessary, as it implies that 1) there's a need to "defend" one's sexuality, less they be pegged, zomg, a lesbian or that 2) there's some reason why, because this photo features lesbians, it would be less attractive to "normal" heterosexual people.

@Tiraspol Groom: Simply pointing out that wannabMILF doesn't need to qualify her sexuality is warranted in this situation. I think most of us are grown ups and don't need to be told to CALM DOWN.

@heatherwritesstuff: Trust me, I completely understand the point that you (everyone?) were trying to make, however, I highly doubt that the disclaimer was intended in either of the ways that you listed. It seems like a number of commenters just piled on the poor woman without considering the fact that sometimes things just are not worded as fluidly as they might have been.

@wannabMILF: Could it perhaps have anything to do with the fact that there are a large number of homosexual or bisexual Jezebels who could be more inclined to find this picture more alluring than a heterosexual female.

I don't find every picture of two women kissing to be as beautiful and yes, sexy- because I am turned on by this picture mind you-and would not normally be. I don't even normally find heterosexual about to kiss pictures able to produce erotic thoughts in my head.

Please don't jump to thinking that I am saying that naturally every same sex couple picture must be sexy or beautiful to a homosexual person, as obviously that is not true.

I don't think jumping all over MILF for a quick comment is necessary. You are welcome to not calm down, but perhaps the outrage is misplaced and better saved for someone with ill intent instead.

@K: I don't really see any other possible reason for making said disclaimer, but I'll give the poster the benefit of the doubt.

@Tiraspol Groom: As the original poster, I didn't "echo" anyone, but thanks for including me in your "calm down" patronizing.
