Aiyi-nah Ford and Torian Brown, a lesbian couple, were asked to leave Tastee Diner in Silver Spring, Maryland earlier this month after holding each other. The eviction prompted Ford to organize a sit-in protest at the restaurant on Wednesday, NBC Washington reports:
"The restaurant's manager, Lisa Wilkes,whose family owns the well-known eatery, countered that the couple wentfurther than innocent cuddling. They were touching each otherinappropriately, she said. 'TheTastee Diner is a family restaurant, and it doesn't matter if you'restraight or if you're gay,' Wilkes said. 'If you start going beyond thepoint of kissing and things start to get a little X-rated, we're goingto ask you to stop.'"
