Lesbians told to stop holding hands at True Colors concert in Seattle
”We didn’t know what to do. He [was] a very large man. I’m not a very big woman…. It seems like if I had made a scene, he would have ejected us…. If [the stadium’s representatives and management] try to spin it and try to pacify us, we will take it further.”
Laura, 33, who says she was holding the hand of her domestic partner, Cai, 37, during a B-52’s slow song at the True Colors Tour. She alleges that a security guard at the Qwest Field WaMu Theater shinded a flashlinght in their face and on and their hands, and he then indicated for them to stop being affectionate with a finger across the neck gesture.
