When Jonathan Williams and James Bull kissed during their first date at the John Snow pub in Soho, central London, they were asked to leave. A woman, who said she was the landlady, told the pair that they were being obscene. Mr Bull rang the police when they got home and Mr Williams took to Twitter to protest at the treatment they had received. His tweet provoked a storm of protest and 456 supporters have planned a ‘ kiss in’ at the pub.
Reaction:
I think it is ridiculous to send two men kissing away, because if it were a man and a woman kissing it would not have been a problem at all. People should be threatened the same way. So it should not matter if you are gay or not. I really like the fact that so many people supported these two men on Twitter. I think that their ‘ kiss in’ at the pub can be a way to show people that there is nothing wrong with gay people and that they want to be treated the same way as others.
I think it is the landlady’s right to ask people to leave when they act obscene. The story says they where kissing. There are many different ways to kiss. Sometimes you see people (from equal AND/OR opposite sexes) kissing, and you think: ‘Go get a room will ye!’ Some people just act obscene in public. You should not do that...
