Caitlin Breedlove and her partner Shorlette Ammons.
Caitlin Breedlove, the woman who was removed from a shopping mall in Raleigh, N.C., after a security guard spotted her sharing a hug and a kiss with her girlfriend, tells Joy Behar it’s like a lot of “incidents happening to people of color, immigrants, and gay couples.”
“We asked, ‘Would it have been the same if we were a man and a woman?’” Breedlove tells Behar. “And she said no.”

I was shock when I first learn of this event/action. Since it was happening in Raleigh, where there is a large LGBT Community. It was noted that Property Managers of Cameron village took 24hr to respond. Which I find was reasonable and the action they took was also appropriate. They resolve the matter and that should have been the end of it. Yes having a protest was a great ideal, and going thru with said protest only if the Property Management group did nothing.
The head of York Properties met with Breedlove and apologized. A York spokesperson said that the officer involved was immediately suspended. The supervising officer and all security officers will receive additional sensitivity training.
The protest did happen and was a success
However since the protest Ms Breedlove and basically become a media whore on this issue. It all start the moment of the event.. Just who call all the media outlets..
I now feel that this as completely set up by both of them.. Simply to get her face in the papers and on tv to promote her group... This was the great new gay caper of the year.
