Share icon Share Modal closeADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT A new online video captured a bunch of homophobes talking a walk of shame at the Kimpton hotel pool in Sacramento. The footage shared by The Black Bay Area media shows enraged pool guests storming off after allegedly telling “a queer black woman… stop kissing her girlfriend in the pool because there were children present!” But the guests were not buying into any of this homophobic BS, as they shamed the entitled ‘white party’ out of the Kimpton pool. The incident didn’t stay unnoticed, catching the attention of 109,577 people on Instagram, including celebrities like comedian Kathy Griffin. Meanwhile, Alex Sanchez, the director of Sacramento LGBTQ+ Community Center, argues that the video reveals a double standard when it comes to LGBTQ+ and heterosexual relationships.Sadly, the homophobic attack occured during Pride Month, which is a beautiful opportunity for the LGBTQ+ community and its friends and families to celebrate their identities and raise awareness of the discrimination they face.This footage of homophobic guests being shamed out of the Kimpton hotel pool after they demanded that a lesbian couple stop kissing has gone viralView this post on Instagram A post shared by artkaligos (@artkaligos)Share iconShare iconShare icon Share iconShare iconADVERTISEMENTShare iconShare iconADVERTISEMENTThe video CBS13 first reported on Tuesday shows the aftermath of what happened after a group of white women allegedly told a queer Black couple to stop kissing in front of their kids. The reaction of the fellow guests at the pool were dubbed ‘priceless’ online as they shamed the bullies out of the hotel.But Alex Sanchez, the director of advocacy and training at Sacramento LGBTQ+ Community Center, believes the video highlights a double standard when it comes to LGBTQ+ and heterosexual relationships.“Being transgender, being a Latinx woman, I always have that in the back of my mind, am I safe here? I want to just hold my partner’s hand sometimes but I don’t always feel comfortable because I don’t want to expose us to violence,” said Sanchez on CBS Local Sacramento.The incident has also caught comedian Kathy Griffin’s attentionShare iconImage credits: kathygriffinAnother person noted that the incident at the Kimpton pool is reminiscent of an attack from 57 years ago when a white man poured acid in a pool full of civil rights activistsADVERTISEMENTShare iconImage credits: darylsturgisAnd this is what other people had to say about the incident and such hateful behaviorShare iconImage credits: McnicolSalazarShare iconImage credits: Peter_the_Gr8Share iconImage credits: LizzyMissDizzieShare iconImage credits: HolliMcBride4Share iconImage credits: n8gallagherShare iconImage credits: larslarslars3Share iconADVERTISEMENTImage credits: joycemillmanShare iconImage credits: rzrwiresunriseShare iconImage credits: Shannon_SimoneShare iconImage credits: e_a_z_y_E_1Share iconImage credits: amandazapanda Anyone can write on Bored Panda.

Becuase it s disturbing and doesnt belong into public, but into private areas. That´s why there is this law, wher you can get punished for acting our sexual activities in public. Nobody knows if it had anything to do with them being "gay". Maybe it was completly irrelevant for the lady and this gay couple was just taking it personnaly and then attacking her for being homophobic. People quite often use the "discrimination card"...while they are the ones who offend. Vote comment up -36 -36points Vote comment down reply Load More Replies...

Let them kiss each other. Kissing is beautiful. No harm at all. Here in Europe love is welcomed. No one gets punished for PDA. We don't care. Try it. It makes people happy. Kissing is not an offence. You guys have issues. Also. Those women are homophobic. Stop trying to make them look like the victims. No one played the discrimination card. I am sure some straight couples kissed too and nobody said anything.
