Homophobe Women Complain About A Lesbian Couple Kissing In The Pool, Get The Response They Deserve

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.

    The 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 onCBS Local Sacramento.

    The incident has also caught comedian Kathy Griffin’s attention

    Another 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 activists

    I’m always amazed how unbelievably mad can some people get when they witness something they don’t agree with. Especially when it doesn’t even harm anyone. Like they just kissed, they didn’t murder a puppy.

    well...if they "kissed" in very sexual way and nearly ate each other...then tehy DID harm other people. 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.

    I have four children. Kids probably wouldn't even notice two women kissing if adults like these didn't make a big deal about it. Teach your kids to mind their own business by minding your own business.

    Okay. I'll ask that you please indulge me while I play devil's advocate, here. Because a similar situation happened to me at a hotel pool one time where a *straight* couple was "making out" (READ: grinding each other against the pool wall) for such a long amount of time and in such a compromising position that I actually said something to them. Yes, because my "children were present." My kids aren't sheltered and my husband and I are as open-minded as they come, but dude, we didn't ask to be the audience for your exhibitionism. Everyone in and around that pool was uncomfortable with the excessive PDA. Having said that, I can't tell from this article whether the white ladies (who admittedly took it to unnecessary Karen levels) spoke out because they were lesbians (and/or black)... or because the couple was acting inappropriately in a public setting. I'm curious to know the whole story. Off to Google!

    This is a good point. But the article just mentioned kissing and not grinding etc. Agree that grinding should be done elsewhere but don’t think it was the case here

    The same women that are like "EW a couple kissing WILL HURT THE KIDS" is flipping the bird and cussing up a storm... in front of the same kids. I mean if the couple was like dry humping or something I sort of get it but just a simple "hey guys can you keep the humping under water so my kid doesn't noticed, thanks!" would be fine but wow. I am a parent, and her behaviour is GROSS. Those poor kids. Also... shame walk is brilliant and I love everything about that response.

    As I walked my dog last night, I met a young lesbian couple, holding hands and walking peacefully towards wherever they were going. We smiled at each other, they commented on how sweet my dog is, I wished them a lovely evening, and we all went on with our lives. In my head, I thought, "I'm so glad I live in a city where people are allowed to just be who they are." That is all.

    I've spent nearly thirty years working with children and families affected by abuse and other trauma. Here's something for those who hate, like these two women: all that vitriol you spill; the words and gestures of hatred; your ignorance and your inability to respect difference is a great deal more harmful to kids and to society than anyone who identifies as LGBTQ. Here's something else: less than 3% of abusers identify as LGBTQ. So...who do you think is harming the children? Yeah, it's not the gays. It's people like these two white women who think they and only they have the right to exist. Shame? Yep, shame on you, shame on all who think and act like you. YOU are the threat to our children and our society.

    There is kissing...and then there is kissing. I was not there, so I do not know which was occurring. I am not a fan of overly affectionate PDA. There are other times and places for that. And I realize people have the right to their own opinions and religious beliefs. If I see something that is offensive or not for my children to see, I take my children else where. EVERYONE in this video seems to be acting like idiots, even the guy screaming SHAME over everyone. The Karens were waaaaay out of bounds. There was a time in society when people could have differing opinions and remain civil. We need to work on getting back to that, and it is a 2 way street.

    "i'm a jewish woman from new jersey....i live in oakland, you a**hole!....do you have any children?....you would be a terrible dad!" well, if she would like to tout her jewish heritage then this jewess would like to request that she read the old testament, particularly the book of leviticus, and understand that homosexuality is not condemned because of the act; it is because of the 'waste of seed'. and, women were not held to the same standard as their 'acts' did not waste seed". screaming obscenties within earshot is a much better example.

    Not true at all. modern day republicans do not actually think and believe in the same beliefs they did in the 50s. I am republican and do not care who people choose to love and they have every right to show PG affection toward each other as any other couple. The Karen's yelling their nonsense in front of their children should be ashamed and are a terrible role models. I believe everyone should be able to love, marry whoever they want. Freedom is most important for most MODERN-day republicans (as you said). Please stop grouping each political party as a whole for a few bad assholes. I also believe my body, my choice.. goes for marriage, birth, etc.

    This reminds me of my previous neighbor who would (of course!!) call the cops often and one time that we were doing yard work and listening to music (hip hop, pop, top 40 stuff). He asked my bf to turn it down, he said no. Neighbor said it wasn’t appropriate for children, my bf said no and walked away. Neighbor started screaming cuss words with his children next to him so I guess it wasn’t really about a curse word or two.

    Such B.S. hypocracy... Cussing and being so hateful, yet claiming they are trying to protect the children. It took me awhile, but I got to thinking one day, why should it matter to me who loves who. How does it concern me? It shouldn't. As long as everyone is happy and a consenting adult, I figure I should just be happy for them. One caviate though...I don't know how they were kissing' but a reguler ol kiss, that's fine, no big deal. But if they were gettin hot and heavy, or making out... Anything other than than simple affection, theres no need in that. I don't care who you are or who your with, dude/ dude, chick/ chick, chick/ dude, both, neither, trans, the whole dang alphabet...ANYBODY...Y'all please get a room. I don't think most folks wanna see anyone gettin all hot an heavy. Big ol' PDA's aren't appropriate by anyone. If folks wanna see that, they can find in the internet. 👍

Be more intelligent at least. and as someone else pointed out...so their behavior is bad but yours is good? Everyone around is just smiling at the whole thing....really....

    I don't like seeing public displays of affection and I don't really care if gay or not! Holding hands is nice. Kissing & slobbering over some one is not. I'm older & it wasn't done when I was young. And yes I can look away. But anymore it's difficult because people just don't care what they do in public anymore. So go and and make remarks~~

    Bored Panda. Stop diffaming people in public and possbily destroying their lives. You don´t even know what had happened. You don´t even know, if it´s true, that she was homophobic here....maybe she just told people to kiss that hard in public, because there are children around. Which is understandable, because it belongs to the bedroom and is private. Nobody knows how exactly the situation was. But you are destroying a person here. So that´s ok ???!!!! I´m highly disappointed.

    This is so unproductive. One problem I have is how insensitive most sexual deviants are to hetros. No consideration for our beliefs.

    Honestly, relating this to someone POURING ACID IN A SWIMMING POOL is a little over-the-top & borderline hysterical, BP.

    BP didn’t do that. They simply showed a tweet where someone else was doing the comparing. Maybe bitch at that person.

    Sorry, but could you please stop that bullshit? You don´t even know if it was "homophobic", as you are stating it. Mabye she just didn´t want people to make around in public while children are watching and to be honest: I would feel disturbed by that, too. Because it s a privat thing. People can kiss yes...but you don´t know in which way did they kiss. If they were showing some behaviour that belongs into the bedroom, they shouldn´t be surprised if someone is telling them to stop. espcially when there are children. Sexual activitys don t belong into public space and intense kissing can be one. Maybe it had nothin to do with two women or and homophobia. you don´t know that. So stop blaming her. I found the way, that this person, who is shouting "shame, shame, shame" and not listening AT ALL way mor disrespectful. Bored Panda, you are becoming a website, that I don t like anymore. This "moralism"... attracts the wrong people for sure.

    Going to need a bit more information here. We don't know how long they were kissing, or how ardently. It may well have been inappropriate for a public space. The sexual orientation of the couple is irrelevant--it would be inappropriate to make out in front of others where kids are present for a man and a woman as well. Also getting mighty tired of bullshit cancel culture, and sticking a camera in someone's face who takes exception to what is happening in front of them. This isn't newsworthy, no matter how you slice it, even though people love getting outraged and demanding that people lose their jobs these days over things that really aren't that serious. What a bunch of tattletales we've all become. So, I'm going to wait until more information becomes available about what happened here before picking up a torch and joining the rest of the villagers.

    The witnesses all said it was just a kiss that's all. No different to what the heterosexuals were doing. This people only went after the lesbian couple. Filming people gives proof to what happened. There was also a surveillance camera. So you're always being filmed no matter what. Outing racist homophobic people is a good thing especially when they're abusing people

    Am I the only one thinking this was too much? Keep chanting "shame" so loudly that nobody can explain to her why she's wrong? This sort of behaviour will only make someone dig in deeper. All she sees from you is hate. Just.. talk to people. Sometimes, you get through to them -- and once is all you need to have made a positive difference in the world.

    I did not see any homophobia on the video and before we judge, we dont know how frisky, the couple were or whether she was objecting to outrageous groping and fondling and would have reacted themsame to a hetero couple doing the same. The problem with. these one sided videos being interpreted by those on the attack is just that. Its a one sided story...

    I wouldn't read into it too much. Negative posts/stories get more reactions than positive posts/stories. It is not even close to "the worst place to live in the world". If that were the case, why would not have SO MANY immigrants seek asylum here? America is a great country that is slowly getting divided by the MEDIA. It is very easy to survive in America. People from all over the world judge before knowing/accusing.. it's not just Americans..? Come on, China's textbook classify homosexuality as a freaking mental disorder and it is not accepted. Most Americans have come to accept LGBT. Of course there are a few crazy bad assholes but that is anywhere..

EXCEPT the women's language was appalling, she stayed to argue instead of leaving; the guys in the pool, repeatedly voicing GAY did nothing for them and I hate to see people kissing in public, to me that is a private act, unless just a peck., whether gay or straight, Disgusting behaviour on BOTH side

    He was saying "shame" did you even read any of it or just jump to the comments with fake outrage? Couples kiss in pools all the time! They're half naked, having fun, being playful. My husband and I have been married 16 years and still splash each other and kiss in the apartment pool just like the teens and the lesbians! All the gay guys moved to nicer condos. You sound like a side-hugger-Duggar judgmental prude.

    Not all straight people want to be gay. Does that mean they are homophobic? of course not. As long as you are respectful and supportive of the LGBTQA+ community you are a fine person. Please stop saying that straight people are secretly gay, and just won't admit it. That's toxic.

    Just read the full news article elsewhere, there were serveral witnesses (including the guy, Kaligos, who filmed this) that spoke up and said nothing close to sexual intercourse was happening, it was simply a kiss, and several straight and white couples were also kissing. It was plain and simply an act of homophobia and possible racism towards one of the queer women, Dominique, who also happens to be black... Notice how we can name these people? Yet the person saying it allegedly was sexual activity refuses to be named? Because they know damn well they are lying out of their ass.

    well...if they "kissed" in very sexual way and nearly ate each other...then tehy DID harm other people. 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.

    Okay. I'll ask that you please indulge me while I play devil's advocate, here. Because a similar situation happened to me at a hotel pool one time where a *straight* couple was "making out" (READ: grinding each other against the pool wall) for such a long amount of time and in such a compromising position that I actually said something to them. Yes, because my "children were present." My kids aren't sheltered and my husband and I are as open-minded as they come, but dude, we didn't ask to be the audience for your exhibitionism. Everyone in and around that pool was uncomfortable with the excessive PDA. Having said that, I can't tell from this article whether the white ladies (who admittedly took it to unnecessary Karen levels) spoke out because they were lesbians (and/or black)... or because the couple was acting inappropriately in a public setting. I'm curious to know the whole story. Off to Google!

I mean if the couple was like dry humping or something I sort of get it but just a simple "hey guys can you keep the humping under water so my kid doesn't noticed, thanks!" would be fine but wow. I am a parent, and her behaviour is GROSS. Those poor kids. Also... shame walk is brilliant and I love everything about that response.

    As I walked my dog last night, I met a young lesbian couple, holding hands and walking peacefully towards wherever they were going. We smiled at each other, they commented on how sweet my dog is, I wished them a lovely evening, and we all went on with our lives. In my head, I thought, "I'm so glad I live in a city where people are allowed to just be who they are." That is all.

    I've spent nearly thirty years working with children and families affected by abuse and other trauma. Here's something for those who hate, like these two women: all that vitriol you spill; the words and gestures of hatred; your ignorance and your inability to respect difference is a great deal more harmful to kids and to society than anyone who identifies as LGBTQ. Here's something else: less than 3% of abusers identify as LGBTQ. So...who do you think is harming the children? Yeah, it's not the gays. It's people like these two white women who think they and only they have the right to exist. Shame? Yep, shame on you, shame on all who think and act like you. YOU are the threat to our children and our society.

    There is kissing...and then there is kissing. I was not there, so I do not know which was occurring. I am not a fan of overly affectionate PDA. There are other times and places for that. And I realize people have the right to their own opinions and religious beliefs. If I see something that is offensive or not for my children to see, I take my children else where. EVERYONE in this video seems to be acting like idiots, even the guy screaming SHAME over everyone. The Karens were waaaaay out of bounds. There was a time in society when people could have differing opinions and remain civil. We need to work on getting back to that, and it is a 2 way street.

    Not true at all. modern day republicans do not actually think and believe in the same beliefs they did in the 50s. I am republican and do not care who people choose to love and they have every right to show PG affection toward each other as any other couple. The Karen's yelling their nonsense in front of their children should be ashamed and are a terrible role models. I believe everyone should be able to love, marry whoever they want. Freedom is most important for most MODERN-day republicans (as you said). Please stop grouping each political party as a whole for a few bad assholes.

He asked my bf to turn it down, he said no. Neighbor said it wasn’t appropriate for children, my bf said no and walked away. Neighbor started screaming cuss words with his children next to him so I guess it wasn’t really about a curse word or two.

    Such B.S. hypocracy... Cussing and being so hateful, yet claiming they are trying to protect the children. It took me awhile, but I got to thinking one day, why should it matter to me who loves who. How does it concern me? It shouldn't. As long as everyone is happy and a consenting adult, I figure I should just be happy for them. One caviate though...I don't know how they were kissing' but a reguler ol kiss, that's fine, no big deal. But if they were gettin hot and heavy, or making out... Anything other than than simple affection, theres no need in that. I don't care who you are or who your with, dude/ dude, chick/ chick, chick/ dude, both, neither, trans, the whole dang alphabet...ANYBODY...Y'all please get a room. I don't think most folks wanna see anyone gettin all hot an heavy. Big ol' PDA's aren't appropriate by anyone. If folks wanna see that, they can find in the internet. 👍

    AND the newest crime is (drum roll) kissing while Black and gay. I'm glad these self righteous women didn't call the police.

    She’s ugly inside and out. I’d rather see a happy loving couple than this crazy lady! I’d probably punch her if she did that in front of my kids. No kid needs crazy people out in public but I have no problem being crazier than her

    I think people who want to French kiss should get a room. I don't care what they are, two men, a man and a woman, two women, three people. In my experience, if other people notice, it's not a chaste kiss on the cheek. GET A ROOM

    I'm not sure why so much focus is on race - the woman is a hateful prejudiced person, but it appears it's against LGBTQ people.

    ETA : though if any couple was getting hot and heavy in a public pool i would find that distasteful, but that's a "get a room already!" situation, not this level of anger .

    Video is broken, so i only got the images. What a great vocab, lady----Just repeat "shame" over and over. Be more intelligent at least. and as someone else pointed out...so their behavior is bad but yours is good? Everyone around is just smiling at the whole thing....really.... Derek Hough over there in his hat for example. (obviously probably not Derek Hough)

    No one who ever claimed anything is "to protect children" really ever cared about children. They might even be ripped apart in front of them - as long as the people ripping them apart are straight, it is totally ok...

    There are kids who have a gay parent or same-sex parents. Her rabid homophobia is the opposite of protecting children. Does she avoid kissing in front of children?

    I don't like seeing public displays of affection and I don't really care if gay or not! Holding hands is nice. Kissing & slobbering over some one is not. I'm older & it wasn't done when I was young. And yes I can look away. But anymore it's difficult because people just don't care what they do in public anymore. So go and and make remarks~~

    Bored Panda. Stop diffaming people in public and possbily destroying their lives. You don´t even know what had happened. You don´t even know, if it´s true, that she was homophobic here....maybe she just told people to kiss that hard in public, because there are children around. Which is understandable, because it belongs to the bedroom and is private. Nobody knows how exactly the situation was. But you are destroying a person here. So that´s ok ???!!!! I´m highly disappointed.

    Pretty sure kids would be more traumatized by a woman screaming obscenities at people than by seeing people kiss.

    BP didn’t do that. They simply showed a tweet where someone else was doing the comparing. Maybe bitch at that person.

    Sorry, but could you please stop that bullshit? You don´t even know if it was "homophobic", as you are stating it. Mabye she just didn´t want people to make around in public while children are watching and to be honest: I would feel disturbed by that, too. Because it s a privat thing. People can kiss yes...but you don´t know in which way did they kiss. If they were showing some behaviour that belongs into the bedroom, they shouldn´t be surprised if someone is telling them to stop. espcially when there are children. Sexual activitys don t belong into public space and intense kissing can be one. Maybe it had nothin to do with two women or and homophobia. you don´t know that. So stop blaming her. I found the way, that this person, who is shouting "shame, shame, shame" and not listening AT ALL way mor disrespectful. Bored Panda, you are becoming a website, that I don t like anymore. This "moralism"... attracts the wrong people for sure.

    Going to need a bit more information here. We don't know how long they were kissing, or how ardently. It may well have been inappropriate for a public space. The sexual orientation of the couple is irrelevant--it would be inappropriate to make out in front of others where kids are present for a man and a woman as well. Also getting mighty tired of bullshit cancel culture, and sticking a camera in someone's face who takes exception to what is happening in front of them. This isn't newsworthy, no matter how you slice it, even though people love getting outraged and demanding that people lose their jobs these days over things that really aren't that serious. What a bunch of tattletales we've all become. So, I'm going to wait until more information becomes available about what happened here before picking up a torch and joining the rest of the villagers.

    The witnesses all said it was just a kiss that's all. No different to what the heterosexuals were doing. This people only went after the lesbian couple. Filming people gives proof to what happened. There was also a surveillance camera. So you're always being filmed no matter what. Outing racist homophobic people is a good thing especially when they're abusing people

    Am I the only one thinking this was too much? Keep chanting "shame" so loudly that nobody can explain to her why she's wrong? This sort of behaviour will only make someone dig in deeper. All she sees from you is hate. Just.. talk to people. Sometimes, you get through to them -- and once is all you need to have made a positive difference in the world.

    I went further down the comments and found some like-minded opinions. I'm glad I wasn't the only one. We can find someone's actions to be shameful and still react positively. :)

    I did not see any homophobia on the video and before we judge, we dont know how frisky, the couple were or whether she was objecting to outrageous groping and fondling and would have reacted themsame to a hetero couple doing the same. The problem with. these one sided videos being interpreted by those on the attack is just that. Its a one sided story...

How is it possbile to survive in america, tell me? You all don t like yourself clearly. It s just soooo stupid everything. Those comments here and the article...seems liek the worst place to live in in the world. How are you all so hatefull? So judgemental? So quick in you jugdements? Why dont you ask...before accusing?

    I wouldn't read into it too much. Negative posts/stories get more reactions than positive posts/stories. It is not even close to "the worst place to live in the world". If that were the case, why would not have SO MANY immigrants seek asylum here? America is a great country that is slowly getting divided by the MEDIA. It is very easy to survive in America. People from all over the world judge before knowing/accusing.. it's not just Americans..? Come on, China's textbook classify homosexuality as a freaking mental disorder and it is not accepted. Most Americans have come to accept LGBT. Of course there are a few crazy bad assholes but that is anywhere..

    I have nothing against gay people, I have nothing against the women protesting. EXCEPT the women's language was appalling, she stayed to argue instead of leaving; the guys in the pool, repeatedly voicing GAY did nothing for them and I hate to see people kissing in public, to me that is a private act, unless just a peck., whether gay or straight, Disgusting behaviour on BOTH side

    He was saying "shame" did you even read any of it or just jump to the comments with fake outrage? Couples kiss in pools all the time! They're half naked, having fun, being playful. My husband and I have been married 16 years and still splash each other and kiss in the apartment pool just like the teens and the lesbians! All the gay guys moved to nicer condos. You sound like a side-hugger-Duggar judgmental prude.

    Not all straight people want to be gay. Does that mean they are homophobic? of course not. As long as you are respectful and supportive of the LGBTQA+ community you are a fine person. Please stop saying that straight people are secretly gay, and just won't admit it. That's toxic.

    DO YOU REALLY KNOW; IF IT WAS BECAUSE THEY WERE GAY???? OR MAYBE JUST BECAUSE THEY WERE KISSING AS IF THEY WOULD EAT EACH OTHER??! CAN BE; NO?!!! SO WHY DESTROYING A PERSONS LIFE WITH THAT ARTICEL???! YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED!!!!! AND EVERYONE WHO IS COMMETING AND MAKING QUICK JUDGEMENTS WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT HAD HAPPENED SHOULD BE AS WELL!!!!!!

    Just read the full news article elsewhere, there were serveral witnesses (including the guy, Kaligos, who filmed this) that spoke up and said nothing close to sexual intercourse was happening, it was simply a kiss, and several straight and white couples were also kissing. It was plain and simply an act of homophobia and possible racism towards one of the queer women, Dominique, who also happens to be black... Notice how we can name these people? Yet the person saying it allegedly was sexual activity refuses to be named? Because they know damn well they are lying out of their ass.

    I don't care who you are, if you you're having sex in a public pool, you're an asshole. If you're having sex in front of minors, you should be charged with at least public indecency.

    They were kissing, as were many straight couples at the pool. So why were they singled out? No one's was having sex for goodness sakes
