19-year-old Marry Jane Kventliani, 28-year-old and Limor Eidelman, said that the incident unfolded on Wednesday morning, at a local AM:PM supermarket.
According to the two, the security guard told them to leave immediately after he saw them kissing. “Lesbians are offensive and disrespectful,” the security guard told the women.
After the incident, activists launched a Facebook page in support of the two women. It has already received hundreds of Likes.
“We were shopping, we picked up some things and my partner kissed me. Moments later, the security guard approached us and demanded that we get out of the store,” Kventliani said.
“AM:PM believes in equal rights for all people, regardless of religion, race, sex or sexual orientation. If a security guard or a cashier acted in an offensive manner we are deeply distressed and we condemn that behavior. Such behavior is not reflected in the company, which is highly involved in the gay and lesbian community, and many of our employees are part of the community. We have launched an investigation into the incident,” AM:PM said in a statement.
