A gay rights group in San Diego is planning a mass kissing demonstration in front of the city’s Mormon Temple to show support for a gay couple cited for trespassing in Utah when they were caught kissing on church property.
This is the third kissing demonstration that has been held since Matt Aune and Derek Jones were cited for trespassing on the church-owned Main Street Plaza on July 9 in Salt Lake City.
The couple was cited because they refused to leave the property when security guards told them their behavior was inappropriate.
Previous kiss-ins were both held outside the LDS Temple in Salt Lake City.
Representatives from San Diego’s Empowering Spirits Foundation say they are arranging the kiss-in as a peaceful ally to encourage a dialogue between the Mormon Church and the gay community.
