Popular Montreal Bar Under Fire After Men Allegedly Kicked Out For Kissing

The Canadian Press , 01 Sep, 2014 11:54 AM
    MONTREAL - A popular Montreal bar is being accused of homophobia after a bouncer allegedly kicked out two male students for kissing.
     
    A student association at the Universite de Montreal is demanding an apology from Bar Saint-Sulpice, a busy spot in the city's Latin Quarter.
     
    Vincent Fournier Gosselin, an executive with the student group, says a bouncer at the bar forced the two students to leave a medical school orientation event last Friday night.
     
    Gosselin called the actions "homophobic and totally unacceptable."
     
    Gregory Bas, a manager at Saint-Sulpice, says the administration will speak to everyone involved to find out what happened before commenting further.
     
    Protesters are planning a "kiss-in" in front of the bar next Friday.
