Londen, a homophobic pub closed its door because hundreds of gay people planned to kiss in front of the pub as a protest. Reason for this protest was the request to James Bull and Jonathan Williams of staff members to leave the pub because of ‘’obscene kissing’’. The pub in Soho suddenly was the centre of the attention when Williams posted a tweet about the incident. Not long after this the gay kissing event was found. The pub closed its door at 3:30 pm a couple of ours before the event started, at 7:00 pm. In about 300 people attended the gay kissing event.
It is ridiculous that gay people are not equal to straight people. If two straight people were kissing it would not be noticed and they certainly would not be asked to leave. In this case the two gay people had to leave because it looked ‘’obscene’’. It is just mad that in this western world there is still a distinction in orientation. I love the way this event turned out. The pub showed itself of its worst side by closing its doors which is just so weak. I like how the gay people stick together and I could not agree with them more. This was a great pay back.
I think the kiss event was an excellent way of a non-violent protest.
