Kiss-In Protest
So the story is that a gay couple, on their first date, were in a straight pub in Soho, the John Snow (which I've never heard of) and were asked to leave after there were seen to kiss. Without being there and seeing what this kiss involved, a peck or tonsil hockey, it is hard to say if they should have been or not. If it was a full on snog-a-thon then they could have been asked to stop initially and then asked to leave if they did not comply. If it was a peck, or a few pecks, then this is out of order. Anyway, a campaign was started to arrange a "Snog-In" for tonight at the pub. I've just read that the pub closed at about 15:00 and is planning to stay closed tonight, quite a blow for their takings closing on a mild Friday evening. Let's hope that, if they were in the wrong, that this will teach them a valuable lesson. The story has also just been on television on the BBC local news. The snog-in may still go ahead outside the pub. Thinking about it, I remember, about 10 years ago, I was asked to stop kissing in a gay pub myself. I was in Rupert Street and was having a, fairly passionate considering we were all standing and still holding our drinks, three-way kiss. I was embarrassed by, but complied with the request. Ours was a full on, tongues-and-all kiss so I can see the point of asking us to stop, but if this protested kiss was an innocent first date kiss, "with no tongues" & "hands on the table" as one of the kissers claims, then the pub should face ALL the consequences.

If you look at the story on Pink News it's now in two or three parts, it's also on the BBC News website because it is true that nobody has yet come up with an instance of a het. couple being asked to leave a pub just for kissing.
I've seen straight landlords and landladies kissing and gay ones in gay pubs. So what went on here?
Someone complained and Bullshit Britain came out in force from the (apparent) landlady and her co-hort.
That I think is why you'll be going on down there anytime you can this weekend with a cutie of your own choosing, eh?
It might improve your sex life no end!
A three way kiss? You dirty monkey!
Ooh I love a three-way kiss, then again I just love a good kiss however many people are involved!!
Just watched a Sky News report and saw two friends of mine (Thain & Darren) kissing at the protest and Darren was interviewed.
Put him out of business.
