Roseanne and The Kiss This past winter break, myself and one of my best friends were driving down one of the main roads in our home town of Elmira, New York. I happened to look up at a billboard that was on the side of the road, and saw a sign that read something like: “Be safe, be smart, be protected.” I thought to myself (immediately) “well, that's a big improvement from a few years ago when condom ads weren't even allowed on television.” Then I noticed, it had the gay symbols of the
