Lesbian Couple Says the Four Seasons Hotel Kicked Them Out for Kissing: VIDEO
Teresa Folds and Julieigh Snell were kissing in the Jacuzzi at the rooftop pool at the Four Seasons in St. Louis when they were asked to leave because of their PDA, told that the hotel does not allow behavior like theirs by any couple, and " insinuated that [they] were not a normal couple," Folds tells KSDK.
The hotel released a statement:
"Four Seasons respects the behaviors of our guests, except where doing so may be a breach of law or create tensions among people. This was the case on the night in question, as our staff received several complaints about the guest's behavior. I can assure you that the gender of the couple was never at issue."
Watch KSDK's report, AFTER THE JUMP...
people, people......there's -making out- then there's MAKING OUT.....a momentary kiss is NOT A BIG DEAL....no matter whom you are...these ladies look decent, and not the types to be groveling over another for all to see....sounds like someone at the FS doesn't like lesbians.

It seems as though you can't be gay or lesbian and kiss on a bus, on a plane, or in a hotel these days...meanwhile, I see straight couples playing tongue hockey in the subway all the time, and no one says "boo" about that! These double standards are beyond tired, already!

Where they asked to leave the hotel or just the jacuzzi?

Starting today everyone should start voicing objection to PDA's seen amongst straight people. I'm not kidding.

It would be great if some group could send out "shoppers" with a hidden camera person to test how different businesses react. On different days first a strait couple doing various levels of Public Displays of Affection. Then on other days a lesbian couple and a gay male couple. Perhaps the gay couples don't go as far. Document it all and publish the results. Personally I do not want to see anyone making out or worse. However it is discrimination when a peck on the check or something innocent gets us embarrassed or kicked out of places. Airlines and hotels should set limits, just as long as they are the same for all customers.

I had really hot sex with a guy in a Holiday Inn Express in Lawrenceville, GA once. The maid walked in on us making out on the couch but we weren't kicked out. Way to go St Louis. A big city with a hicktown flare.

@Grant.
I had the same question. And if it was just the 'cuzi, wasn't it at 8 pm (when it closed?!?). If they were just asked to leave a place when it closed, I really see no issue.

So what really happened was, they were making out in public. Not G-rated kissing, but groping. Management asked them to stop because it was inappropiate because other families were around, and I restate, they were going at it. They were drunk, and kept making out. Management asked them to stop, not leave. It was after hours, they were still in the jacuzzi, so management asked them to leave. They walked over to the herb garden and started taking the herbs. Thats when security was called and they were escorted off the property. If you're gonna yell harrasment, get harrased first. And all you dummies believing this bull without facts. Its 2 sides to every story.
