Kiss-in protest planned against mall which ejected gay couple for kissing on the cheek

A kiss-in is to take place on Saturday at a California shopping centre after a security guard allegedly asked a gay couple to leave for kissing each other on the cheek and holding hands.

The Westfield Galleria mall in Sacramento came under fire when Fox40 reported that 21-year-old Daniel Chesmore and his partner 24-year-old Jose Guzman were asked to leave for a public display of affection.

The Sacramento Gay and Lesbian Center issued a statement denouncing the security guard’s conduct saying the incident was “unfortunately representative of the hate still harboured by many.”

Beverly Kearney, an advocate for the LGBT community in Sacramento is now organising a kiss-in at the mall on 9 March to protest against the incident, reports the Sacramento Bee.

I suppose what I'm saying is if you have the means, be there. No one has the right to tell us who we can and cannot show affection for.
