PETA’S ‘GAY MAKE-OUT TOUR’ BEDS DOWN ON FREEDOM PLAZA

Vegetarians Make Better Lovers, Says Sexy Couple Washington — Wearing nothing but red-white-and-blue boxers and Navy sailor caps, in a pre-Gay Pride display of passion that’s bound to raise a few eyebrows and turn lots of heads, PETA member Mike Brazell—a medal-winning 10-year Navy veteran—and his partner, Christopher McDonough, will passionately make out in a bed set up on Freedom Plaza on Wednesday. While the not-so-discreet couple is “getting it on” underneath a banner that reads, “Vegetarians Make Better Lovers,” activists will hand out leaflets and vegetarian starter kits to gaping-jawed passersby. Mike and Christopher want everyone to know that they can do themselves and animals a big favor by going vegetarian. It’s all part of PETA’s “Gay Make-Out Tour”:

Date: Wednesday, May 31

Time: 12 noon-1 p.m.

Place: Freedom Plaza, 1300 Pennsylvania Ave. N.W.

What’s so sexy about going vegetarian? Besides the fact that animal suffering, heart disease, strokes, diabetes, obesity, and several types of cancer—which have all been conclusively linked to the consumption of meat and other animal products—aren’t exactly turn-ons, eating meat can also cause impotence. Cholesterol and animal fat slow the flow of blood to all the body’s vital organs, not just to the heart.

“What could be more of a turn-on than snuggling up to someone who’s both passionate and compassionate?” asks Mike. “It’s veggie burgers in the kitchen for a whopper in the bedroom!”
