Caution: Hot plate!

We don’t know much about this, but according to the El Paso Times, El Paso taco joint Chico’s Tacos apparently tossed out two men seen kissing in the establishment, and then (to add some lip-biting dismay), the El Paso police allegedly tossed out the discrimination complaint lodged by the smoochers.

We await further details with salsa-bated breath.

BRIEF UPDATE: Upon clicking the El Paso Times link (above) at 9:50pm it had been expanded and updated significantly, including a quote from local ACLU superhero Lisa Graybill. If the version you read was the original 3 or 4 paragraphs in length, click again to read much more.
