A lesbian couple was enjoying an art exhibit at San Francisco’s Contemporary Jewish Museum over the weekend when they were reportedly approached by a museum security guard and told they had to leave — all because they were holding hands.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle’s C.W. Nevius, the guard told the women they were not permitted to hold hands inside the museum. When they began to argue with him, he attempted to usher them outside. The women refused and asked to see the head of security, while an outraged crowd of people formed to watch the altercation. The head of security met with the women and immediately removed the guard from duty, according to Daryl Carr, the museum’s Director of Marketing and Communications.
Ironically, the women were checking out the work of famous lesbian artist Gertrude Stein.
