About 100 people pecked and smooched today in support of the Salt Lake City gay couple who got roughed up by the homophobic LDS anti-PDA squad. According to the SLC Tribune LGBT Allies took a prominent role in the lighthearted by meaningful protest
Wearing bright red lipstick, Isabelle Warnas smiled and planted a big kiss on her husband's cheek, something she said she has done often under the spires of the LDS Church's Salt Lake Temple.
"Nobody has said a thing to us," the 50-year-old Salt Lake City resident said.
This time, though, they had an audience of more than 100. They were gathered for a "kiss-in," staged Sunday morning at Main Street Plaza to show support for a gay couple who say they were detained by Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints security guards after one man kissed the other on the cheek Thursday.
"My husband and I can not understand the discrimination," Warnas said. "This is not right."
LDS guards made sure that nobody showing affection set foot on LDS soil. What a sad commentary on the LDS that they actually consider an outdoor peck on the cheek an "objectionable activity". What's next, seven lashes for looking wimsomly at your co-perambulatory unit?
