Lesbian Couple Says Cop Arrested Them for Kissing in Public

A Hawaiian vacation turned into a five-month legal ordeal for one same-sex couple.

Courtney Wilson and Taylor Guerrero, a lesbian couple from Los Angeles, say they were harassed and thrown in jail by a cop while on vacation in Hawaii—all because he didn’t like the sight of the same-sex couple kissing in public. The two have filed a lawsuit in federal court alleging discrimination, and the Honolulu Police Department says it has opened an internal investigation.

Speaking with Hawaii News Now, the couple said that on the second day of their vacation on Oahu, they stopped in a local grocery store. As they perused the aisles they held hands, and at one point, kissed. That’s when police officer Bobby Harris (who, just for the record, wasn’t on duty, but was shopping while wearing his uniform) allegedly started to badger them.

It wasn't kissing it was foreplay... right before sex. Cop did the right thing.

Were you right there? Did you see foreplay? It is said in this story that they were holding hands and at one point they kissed. PDA is one thing, extreme PDA i.e. foreplay is another. Every human being should show decorum when engaging in PDA. He may not have liked it, and if it was extreme he could have advised them not to do that in public. There was no need for him to harass them. If all PDA is foreplay, then EVERYONE should refrain from doing it, not just same sex couples.
