Lesbians kicked out of game

[Furore]

Now now, kid. Let's not get offensive.

Like the example I mentioned before, somebody masturbating in public -- or a couple having sex, or somebody being raped -- is none of your business either. If it went on long enough for quite a few people to notice and be offended enough to complain about it, it wasn't just a quick peck. They were doing something indecent and were told to leave because of it. Period.

Phantom's getting offensive? I didn't see that anywhere.
Are you really that uptight about a kiss? Seriously, who really gives a damn about trivial things like that in this day and age? Masturbating, sex and rape are far different from kissing. Rape is both completely illegal and depraved in that one person has no say in the matter. Masturbation and sex are completely illegal everywhere in public. And for good reason. Not only is it horrible on some people's eyes BUT it could also be providing an example of that behaviour to those not ready for it. And who said it wasn't just a quick peck?
Just as it may have been a long passionate kiss, it may also have been a quick peck.

Seriously though, getting kicked out of a place for just a kiss doesn't often happen. And if people are indeed being targeted due to their sexual orientation as this thread's subject matter would indicate then it is discrimination, plain and simple. If straight people also get kicked out of the same place for kissing, then the quoted radio segment was most likely biased in some way and this thread is sort of pointless.

Good for you. But you wouldn't have to serve all people -- because you own the business, you can control who you allow in and who you don't.

You don't have anti-discrimination laws and the like? I know over here you have to have a reason for kicking someone out. It's often related to them using offensive behaviour which you can often bait them into, but you still need something done first.

I'll make the point again that two people were doing something indecent and were asked to leave because of it. It's that simple.

And I'll mention again that if the same thing doesn't apply to people of all sexual orientations, then it's clearly discrimination. Just because something is legal may not make it right, or just for that matter.

And I'll ask again. If a heterosexual couple was doing something indecent -- even "just kissing", as this couple is rumored to have been doing -- and was asked to leave a private business, would many people complain? Would there be a thread about how their "rights" had been "violated"?

Chances are people wouldn't have complained. Because it's perceived by the better part of society as being 'normal'. A few conservatives may hold something against it, but it's often treated quite differently. But then I'm just seeing things from mine and Phantom's world. The real world.
