Texas Trooper Suspended For Comment To Gay Couple

POSTED: 8:57 am EST December 13, 2004

AUSTIN, Texas -- Gays can kiss in Texas -- but that was news to a state trooper.

Department of Public Safety Trooper Michael Carlson got into trouble for telling two gay men who were kissing at the state Capitol that homosexual conduct is illegal in Texas.

One of the men is John Corvino, who teaches at Wayne State University in Detroit.

Corvino and another man were kissing in September while sitting on a park bench in Austin. In a complaint filed with the Texas Department of Public Safety, Corvino said the trooper told them, "We won't have you doing this on Capitol grounds."

One of the men complained to authorities. Carlson has been placed on job probation for six months and given a written reprimand. Carlson also must get more training on state laws.

For the record, Texas doesn't outlaw same sex kissing. Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the state's anti-sodomy law.

I bet the trooper was just jealous.

he loves the cock

Haha he should have arrested them.

PDA's are wrong no matter if you are gay, straight or anything else.. you wanna make out in public.. get a fucking room.

Regards,

LOL, have to read over the laws again. Now that is entertainment.
