And it's not only the Germans that pull this shit, either. Of course, there's the two girls in Portland who were recently kicked off a bus for kissing, and I remember in the mid-90's, a San Francisco MUNI driver beat up a gay man who kissed his partner. The city tried to fire him, but the union got him reinstated. Of course, in neither case did management try to assert that the driver did the right thing.
