Brandon McCarthy proves that attitudes in the United States are moving in the right direction.

I go to a lot of baseball games and never liked the "kiss cam." Gay can be funny at times with good writing and understanding, but this always felt like a stupid middle school "let's act gay to get a cheap easy laugh." It should stop.

I'm glad he stood up. It's funny if it wasn't treated as being wrong, but it is.
-Stefany Specht
Do people at the game applaud when the two men kiss?
-Mark Sartor
I take my boyfriend with me to games all the time. If they showed us on the "kiss cam," I wouldn't think twice about kissing him. I'm sure we'd get booed but so what? I don't need their approval anyway.
-David Hintze
Nice to hear Brandon is joining the fight against homophobia. But, I have to say, that's one guy I wouldn't mind kissing on camera!
