Students arrive for a mass kiss-in in the aisles of a Sainsbury's store in Brighton, East Sussex, in a protest.


Staff hand out bottled water and cookies to students staging a mass kiss-in in the aisles of a Sainsbury's store in Brighton, East Sussex, in protest at the treatment of two gay women who were told a customer found them 'disgusting' and threatened with ejection when they shared a brief kiss. Annabelle Paige, 22, an English literature student at the University of Sussex and her female partner were asked by a security guard to stop kissing or leave the supermarket's New England Street branch on Saturday, saying a customer had complained at their show of affection. 1,000 people told a Facebook group they would turn up to the event in support of the women.
