McDonalds security guard stopped a gay kiss.

trinidadone

A customer named Mathew Dummigan was in a Leicester McDonalds when he pecked another man on the lips.

Security told Mathew to stop as it was making other customers "feel uncomfortable"

Mathew questioned security if it was ok for a woman and man to kiss in McDonalds, and security replied "yes".

The security officer has since lost his job, and McDonalds have apologised for what happoned.

Its reported, Mathew did not want the security officer to lose his job, but to attend some equality training.

As McDonalds say "I'm loving it"

System

Who are Mcdonolds? Never heard of them.

I can see the situation in my head. A young, drunk gay couple making a bit of a scene whilst there is a potential bald middle aged nutjob security guard trying to keep everyone in check.

Of course what he did is homophobic, but on the same token the younger generation must realise that the older generation still have some homophobic behavior ingrained into their beliefs simply because we were less tolerant in their day. It is thus potentially correct to assume that shows of public affection between same sexes may well make a good number of people uncomfortable. Combine it with a load of young, drunk, people and the security guard may even have a legitimate reason to try and stop them (ie to stop things from kicking off).

Of course, this is just speculation on your post which does not link to a news source :

If it was 2 girls kissing, would he have stopped them too? Or would he have started up the video app on his phone?

I'd rather they intervened when anyone was snogging, regardless of gender. Last thing I want to see when I'm eating (I use that term loosely iro MacDonalds) is people with their tongues down each others throats.

Well here you go. A quick google of his name and it's (unsurprisingly) the first hit (just a shame it the DM ).

No mention of drunken gay orgies or OAPs with their ingrained homophobia, just a d*ickhead of a security guard.

I have little doubt this was nothing more than a provocative setup by two with an agenda to drive.

Wow. Big assumption jump there!

Another vote here for the security guard.
I WOULD have complained if I had been there.
Appropriate behaviour is so often lacking in the young and a complete disregard for anyone else's view. After all, they have RIGHTS!!!!!!
