Kiss-In

This evening, I attended a protest against homophobia, more particularly, an incident that occurred recently at the John Snow pub in Soho, London. Two gay men, on their first date, were thrown out of the pub for kissing. Unsurprisingly, many people have been riled up by this situation; with over 1,000 facebookers confirmed to have attended the rally, various bloggers and websites, and even the BBC publicizing the event. I could not miss this! The pub ended up closing early before the protest started....however we carried on outside the premises.

It is very unsettling knowing that crimes like this are happening, in Soho nonetheless! An area known to be gay-friendly. Something has to be done...starting with raising awareness. Please pass this on to others and help bring these acts of hatred to an end.
