Two women were ousted from a Kentucky private park because a gatekeeper said same-sex couples were 'not welcomed.' Mrs Miller-Poole told the Richmond Register that she often does portrait sessions in the park and has never had an issue.

'It was just a peck of a kiss,' Miss Chenault, who is expecting, said to WKYT.
Moments after the intimate moment, a gatekeeper told them to leave.
'He said that we had to leave and that it was inappropriate,' Mrs Miller-Poole said.
'The man said,"Those type of people were not welcomed."'
The shocked photographer was even told she would be banned from taking photos in the park if she brought 'those things with you' again.
The couple said that they've experienced stares and name-calling, but never outright abuse.

'I look at us as a family. We're having a baby, so a family park, family picture ... I don't understand why we had to be kicked out.'
But it looks like they weren't the first couple to experience this kind of discrimination and they won't be the last because of Kentucky state law.
'It is legal to discriminate against people because of their sexual orientation here in Richmond,' Richmond Human Rights Chairperson Sandra Anez-Powell told the Richmond Register.
'They can be kicked out of public places, fired from their jobs and denied housing, a right that heterosexual people like me enjoy. '
The women went home weeping after the incident. Adam Arvin, the manager of the park, had no comment.

Park needs to put up a sign to warn them off before they enter .... possibly, “This park is private and not queer friendly”.
It should be legal to discriminate against sexual behavior everywhere.
“’I look at us as a family. We’re having a baby, so a family park, family picture ... I don’t understand why we had to be kicked out.’”
WE are having a baby? So who supplied the sperm? Where is the father? Will this child ever know him? I advocate no gay marriage, no sperm donation or surrogacy except for young infertile heterosexual couples (not older ones who put career before family), no gay adoption - this whole thing makes me violently ill. Sorry for the rant, but the hubris of these anti-nature and Christophobic people galls me.
“They go on private property with a photographer to make sure everybody notices them then they start making out. The whole point was to get kicked off the private property and then get in the news. These lesbians are doing it all over the place to destroy Christianity. Notice, however, they never do it to Muslims. They never go to Dearborn and march. They never go to NY Muslim neighborhoods and make out. Why is that?”
Bravo. Twice over.
“or simply the result of Testosterone therapy (or homone inhibiters) - quite popular with the butches.”
Right. They “butch” themselves up on purpose. Just as an anorexic becomes a skeleton on purpose.
I look at you as freaks.
"We're having a baby. . . ."
Sorry, not possible.
Grow a pair!
What part of PRIVATE do these dykes not understand?
And thinking could stimulate hormone activity.
