Now here's a kiss off.

Two men, identified in news reports as Timothy Tross and Ben Clifford, disrupted presidential candidate Rick Santorum's rally at Christian Liberty Academy in Arlington Heights, Illinois, on Friday (March 16). They first started heckling him, and shouting "Mic check!", to the jeers of the audience.

They followed it up by—gasp!—kissing each other on the lips.

Security guards promptly escorted them out, as the crowd shifted from booing them to shouting "USA! USA!" How patriotic.

“I don’t think the message should be about what my sexuality is,” Tross said, according to reports. “It’s the message that he’s saying about sexuality that matters.”

The rally drew several LGBT activists, who protested on the street before the rally.

In the video of the rally below, the fun begins around the 1:50 mark.

Good thing they didn't disrupt the proceedings with a public display of santorum. That would've been gross.
