If you don't want to see lesbians kiss, stay out of the ballpark.
[the latter a reference to two lesbians being evicted from a baseball game for kissing (yes, in Calif, in 2000), when mixed-sex couples were doing the same. the baseball corporation thereafter recanted, and gave 5K tickets to homosexual groups, thereby saving themselves a major lawsuit]
Ball parks are nominally private (pace your "baseball corporation" comment)/ If a venue or site or company or piece of property is privately-owned, then all liberty-advocating persons would certainly say the owners have every right to tell lesbians and queers to stay out.
