3:24 - Yes, I do wanna watch gay couples kiss on TV. Straight couples bore me. XD

And finally, someone who says homosexuality is not a fucking lifestyle, because you don't choose it. The only thing about your lifestyle that will change is maybe what clubs you go to.

And yes, every time same-sex kisses happen on-screen, people freak out about it. And that's exactly why we need to show ignorant people what it's like, so they realize it's not any different. Intolerance comes from ignorance.

Ben, baby, shut the fuck up. We all know you enjoy sucking dick.

"Gays rubbing it in our faces." See I never understood that argument. I really don't. This homophobe doesn't realize that, first, homosexuality is not a choice. Second, how in the FUCK are gays rubbing it in our faces, when straights rub it in their (and everyone's) faces EVERYWHERE of everyday?

OK if I did not know that this had been a serious discussion I would have taken it for a joke, I mean were they really debating on two guys (loved how the left guy first said two people b/c it's nothing more than that) kissing in a soap opera?? To be honest at that time in 2008 I was probably following at least two gay couples on German soaps (kissing- and sexscenes included)

I hope this isn't no longer such an issue!

Ben, shut up. You look more gay then a rainbow flag.. >,>"

[MrMollytov]

americans.. still? THIS is a problem? kill it

[danrdrewf]

I love how while this debate is going on...they're playing the kiss on a loop. xD

[ItzClara]

I fucking hate that Ben guy! Yes, we wanna see a gay kiss! This is coming from a straight girl, so not trying to push any agenda.

[EdmundoMD]

@WweEvilMark LOL!!!!!!

[WweEvilMark]

HEY BEN! i hope you see this: GO FUCK YOURSELF HOMOPHOBIC!

[theonlygoodthingVLOG]

Ahhh I can't watch this without getting angry. Ben makes no fucking sense. He is a homophobe full stop. I just hate that no-one will ever be able to explain this to idiots like him.

[MunfyKun]

So according to Mr. Ferguson, the fact that these two guys are having an entire relationship unfold in front of America is totally acceptable, but the moment they kiss it's all "HOLY MOTHER OF MERCY, THE GAYS ARE TAKING OVER THE WORLD!"

Seriously?
