Charges dropped against gay couple arrested for 'passionate" kissing in Salt Lake City



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Prosecutors in Salt Lake City announced they won't be pressing charges against the kissing couple. A couple weeks, ago, the gay-obsessed Mormons issued a statement claiming this was much more than a kiss. Not kidding, a statement from the Mormon HQ claimed the couple was "engaged in passionate kissing, groping, profane and lewd language, and had obviously been using alcohol." Now, who in the Mormon church made the determination that the kissing was "passionate"? Do they have a special commission for that. My goodness, those Mormons do seem to be way too interested in what same-sex couples do. But, who knew they actually analyzed the intensity of gay kisses?

Despite the Mormon freakout, the prosecutor is dropping the charges:

Prosecutors won't pursue a case against two men accused of trespassing on LDS Church property earlier this month.

An LDS Church security guard detained a gay couple on Salt Lake City's Main Street Plaza on July 9 after observing the pair "kissing and hugging," according to a police report.

Derek Jones and Matt Aune were cited for trespassing after refusing to leave. The incident led to two kiss-in protests against the church in Salt Lake City and one in San Diego.

Aune has said the couple's display of affection was modest, but officials with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which owns the plaza, released a statement that the two men were "much more involved" than a "simple kiss on the cheek." It said the couple "engaged in passionate kissing, groping, profane and lewd language, and had obviously been using alcohol."

In a statement released Wednesday, Salt Lake City Prosecutor Sim Gill said the trespassing case against Jones and Aune has been dropped.
