Washington DC — The LGBTQ community is outraged at the continued discrimination it faces from stadium Kiss-Cams throughout the country, claiming that the time-filling pastime is prejudiced against same-sex couples.

A poll found that a majority of fans hate Kiss Cams and would like to see them removed permanently

“I’ve always dreamed of publicly kissing my partner on the Jumbotron at a baseball game,” says Rose Young, a lawyer and active member of the LGBTQ community, “but the head honchos continue to only feature heterosexual couples.”

“It’s time we felt the same awkward pressure to kiss our partner in front of thousands of judgmental strangers.”

Kiss cams, a pandering, diversionary video feed that cajoles couples into kissing on the big screen during down-time at baseball games, have been a stadium staple since their introduction in the 1980s. They have been staunchly homophobic ever since.

Roy Duggin has been a Kiss Cam operator for 25 years. He explains the dangers in transitioning to a more inclusive Kiss Cam format.

“I still have nightmares about the times when I accidentally featured a brother and a sister or a father and a daughter,” said the visibly-shaken camera operator. “I can’t even imagine the trauma I’d experience from mistakenly zeroing in on a brother and a brother or a father and a son.”

“Or God forbid a sister and a sister,” added Duggin.

Opponents to the push for Kiss Cam equality feel that enough is enough.

“It’s hard enough for me to explain to my innocent child why two grown men are holding hands in the park, let alone seeing them fornicating on the big screen at a wholesome baseball game,” sighs Lori Beth Wilkins. “Baseball is America’s pastime. It’s supposed to be a safe space for families.”

“Can’t the gays let us have one thing for ourselves?”

The LGBTQ community has overcome many hurdles including the recent Supreme Court decision to recognize same-sex marriage, but Young believes the effects will really hit home once Kiss Cam equality is realized.

“While it’s true that I haven’t attended a baseball game in over a decade, I will not rest until I know that if I ever do go to a game in the future I have the possibility of seeing a same-sex couple sheepishly embrace on an oversized TV screen.”

“Isn’t that what America’s all about?”
