Jaylon Mobley // Kiss on the cheek triggers trouble for same sex couple on Hawaiian vacation

Summary: While out on a vacation in Hawaii, a female couple, consisting of Courtney Wilson and Taylor Guerrero, lands in jail miles away from home in Los Angeles because of a kiss on the cheek in a Foodland store in Honolulu. They were told by store officials that they "can't do that here" and they"need to take it somewhere else". Eventually a uniformed officer contributes to the store officials request, despite the girl's having no idea as to what they did wrong. Officer Bobby Harrison ended up attempting to forcefully remove one of the young ladies from the store, stating that he was going to sign a trespass form resulting in banishment from any Foodland, and going even further as to lay hands on her. The other girl intervened, trying to help her girlfriend. Punches were thrown and they ended up in cuffs and subsequently, jail, with no money.

Analysis: This is a complete outrage that there is so much hate in the world. And not for the personalities and characteristics of people, but for who they are, for something they can't change. There are still people out in the world who will hate and hate because they are not like them, or because they have to live with something that you don't necessarily "approve" of. And where does it get us?? If not every time, then most of the time, stories like this, they spread over an amount of time. Just stop the hate.
