The Monday Musing: A Kiss Is Still A Kiss

Tim Tebow (Denver Bronco And Focus On The Family Spokesperson) kisses Demaryius Thomas

Though Tim Tebow infamously filmed a Superbowl commercial in 2010 for the anti-gay, anti-abortion organization Focus On The Family, he seems to have no problem sharing a male-on-male lip lock in front of thousands (millions?) of onlookers.

On Sunday, the Denver Bronco kissed Demaryius Thomas after Thomas caught a touchdown pass. The Broncos, led by a rally by Tebow, went on to beat The Dolphins 18-15.

Towleroad notes that this isn't the first time Tebow, who has been referred to as the "Bieber of Football," has shared a same-sex kiss on the field: Tebow was pecked by University of Florida teammate Tony Joiner a few years ago.

Tebow's feelings about homosexuality and gay marriage remain unclear. This summer, when asked about gay marriage by the Washington Post, his publicist jumped in and rejected the question. But, considering his ties to Focus On The Family, he's probably not about to announce he's coming out of the closet (or would support those who have) -- but who knows?

Still, if an NFL quarterback and card-carrying member of FOF wants to go around very publicly kissing other men on the mouth, we're OK with that.

( Thank You, Singers and Saints Blog ) Personnel: Abbey Lincoln (vocals); Jackie McLean (alto saxophone); Clark Terry (trumpet); Alain Jean-Marie (piano); Charlie Haden (bass); Billy Higgins (drums). "Have we been waiting for something like this since Billie, then Dinah passed on--i.e. groovy, in-the-tradition jazz singing that actually means something? Heir apparent Betty Carter is on an ego trip, Cassandra Wilson is too arty... and so on. Abbey Lincoln's trip is something else again (perhaps Parisian) as she poignantly introduces "How High The Moon" in broken French and triumphantly ends the set with Francis Lai's "Live For Life." In between, Lincoln contributes good original lyrics from the point of view of a still-feminine quasi-bag lady--"social secretary" she calls it--an adept witness to hard times past and present. Lincoln gets excellent arrangements from Ron Carter and accompaniment fro
