I lived in Brighton for many years, and I was under the impression that it was among the most liberal of places in the UK, at least as far as sexuality is concerned. So, I'm left bemused by this report that a supermarket customer reportedly told a security guard that she was "worried for the safety of her child" after witnessing a woman kiss another woman on the cheek. The incident leaves me with a number of questions:
- How can someone be endangered by witnessing a consensual kiss?
- What did the customer think would happen to her child?
- Does the customer know where she is living? (if this is a case of naivety, she had better brace herself for Pride weekend...)
- How can a Brighton resident be so far behind even the Vatican in terms of their attitude towards sex? Actually, that is quite an impressive commitment to bigotry,..
Enough teeth grinding. Time for some Siya...
UPDATE: on Wednesday a protest was held in the supermarket - showing the bigots the way it is via the power of loitering with the intent to smooch. Good on them.
