UK Supermarket taken over by 'Big Gay Kiss-in' demonstration

Hundreds of people have staged a ‘Big Gay Kiss-in’ at a Sainsbury’s supermarket in London in response to a staffer asking a gay couple to stop holding hands.

A security guard told Thomas Rees and Joshua Bradwell that they were “touching inappropriately” after receiving a complaint from a homophobic shopper.

Protestors reportedly danced to Donna Summer before entering the supermarket for smooches en masse.

A spokesperson for Sainsbury’s was also at the event, handing out drinks and cookies. They said it was an important opportunity to show their support for the LGBTIQ community.
