Kiss on the cheek triggers trouble for same sex couple on Hawaiian vacation

November 01, 2015 12:14

What started as a kiss inside a grocery store on an island vacation landed Courtney Wilson and Taylor Guerrero in jail and stuck far away from home without money for months, they say.

It was supposed to be a relaxing holiday in the place that feels closest to paradise -- Hawaii. The women in their 20s had been dating for two years and wanted a break from their daily grind in Los Angeles.

Then came the kiss at a Foodland store in Honolulu.

"We were holding hands and I was kissing her cheek," Guerrero said. "We were just happy to be out here," Wilson chimed in. "We were just being goofy," Guerrero added.

They were interrupted by yells and saw two people -- one a man in uniform.

"They called after us and told us basically you can't do that. Take that somewhere else," Wilson said. She said she thought it was just a couple of rude random guys. So the women went about buying their snacks.
