Rick Santorum was 15 minutes into his very gloomy speech in the Grace Gym at Christian Liberty Academy in Arlington Heights, IL, when — suddenly! From the bleachers!
"Mic check! Mr. Santorum! Mr. Santorum!"
And the crowd's heads turned, and a storm of booing filled the gymnasium's air as two men stood and kissed, rather langurously. The crowd was grossed out. The booing coalesced into a chant of "USA! USA! USA!" as the kissers — Timothy Tross and Ben Clifford — were escorted from the building.
It's unclear if the men are gay, or if they were straights out to make a political point. From the Palatine Patch:
“I don't think the message should be about what my sexuality is,” Tross said. “It's the message that he's saying about sexuality that matters.”
Watch a hunk of Santorum's speech, complete with interruption, AFTER THE JUMP …
