A man and a woman kissing would never be thought of as "trying to get attention". Why should two women (or men) kissing be thought of that way?
Kissing for attention would undoubtedly be dumb; but kicking people off a bus for doing so would be much, much dumber.
I'd be pants-shittingly surprised if the women in question weren't doing it to be noticed, either as fake bisexuals getting back at their father, or real lesbians trying to get in the news and succeeding.
The story begins, "A transit chief apologized Wednesday to two teenage girls who were kicked off a city bus for kissing each other."
So, no protest required, unless you want to send the message "don't bother apologizing, our community is litigious and will crucify every isolated incident."
Did someone get judged negatively one too many times by them fags or something?
This is outrageous the bus driver has no right to say or do anything, this is not school, this is not the city moral department its public property. Now, if they were licking each other's faces and didn't stop after a warning then I could see some action happening, groping something like that but a kiss?
Lets not forget also this article says they were called sickos that is unacceptable.
