Shocking! Soxer kisses Yankee!
Advocate, The, Nov 8, 2005
Boyfriends Owen Murphy and David Sacchetti got quite a few glares as they smooched outside Boston's Fenway Park in September. But it wasn't their lip lock that set people off. "Most of the dirty looks and harsh words," Murphy said, "were because of the hated Yankees jersey [that Dave was wearing], not because of two big, hairy guys kissing."
With Murphy in a Red Sox jersey, the kiss was staged for the cover of The Weekly Dig newspaper, where Sacchetti's pal Michael Brodeur is music editor. The shoot was "amazing," said Boston native Sacchetti, who put on and took off the dreaded shirt repeatedly over a three-hour period.
Why do it at all? "The opportunity to kiss my wonderful boyfriend and to have it captured on film was reason enough," he said. "It was quite the experience, filled with excitement, nervous energy, and great kissing!"
