Kissing Men Booted from Santorum Rally

During GOP candidate's speech in Arlington, IL.

Rick Santorum was well into his speech during a campaign stop in Arlington Heights, Ill., on Friday when two men in the crowd embraced in a rather passionate kiss, prompting a mic check and two guards to escort them from the rally. Another man jumped up and followed them out as the audience began chanting "U-S-A" until they left the gym at Christian Liberty Academy where Santorum was speaking. The crowd then erupted in cheers as Santorum, who has repeatedly expressed his opposition to homosexuality, continued his speech without addressing the incident. It wasn't clear whether the two men were gay or simply making a political statement. "I don't think the message should be about what my sexuality is," one of them told a reporter. "It's the message that [Santorum's] saying about sexuality that matters."
