Winner’s kiss might come from gay men in Holland

(Amsterdam) To the winner goes the cup, the champagne and a kiss from a couple of pretty girls, right?

Or maybe from a couple of guys.

A left-wing party in Amsterdam is proposing that gay men replace the miniskirted women who traditionally kiss the winner of the first leg of the Giro d’Italia, one of Europe’s premier bicycle races, which begins May 8.

“It should be possible for gay men to celebrate with the winner,” said Fjodor Molenaar, an alderman from the Green Left party, which is part of the city’s governing coalition. One rider in 10 is gay, he said.

The idea is winning support in this notably tolerant city, which annually hosts one of the world’s most elaborate gay pride parades.

But Albert van der Meulen, whose television station is arranging the ceremony, said he’d rather have women on the podium.

“I don’t even think the race participants want to be kissed by men,” van der Meulen said.
