PDA turned into protest Sunday (June 12), as over 100 people staged a “kiss-in,” to demonstrate against the treatment of two gay men by security guards with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Caught kissing on Salt Lake City’s Main Street Plaza, which the LDS Church now owns, the two men were handcuffed, detained and later cited for trespassing.
The Salt Lake Tribune reported that “organizer and former city councilwoman Deeda Seed encouraged ‘gentle’ displays of public affection, and participants stuck to short kisses on the mouth and cheeks.”
