Facebook Deletes Gay Kiss Pic

UPDATED: A photo of two men kissing that was posted on a Facebook page protesting a London pub's decision to eject a same-sex couple for kissing has been removed by the social networking site, an error, according to a rep for the company.

"The photo in question does not violate our Statement of Rights and Responsibilities and was removed in error," the statement, obtained by America Blog, says. We apologize for the inconvenience"

The Dangerous Minds Facebook page was set up to promote a "gay kiss-in" demonstration in London to protest the pub. The page used a photo of two men kissing to promote the event.
According to NYULocal.com, the photo was quickly removed and the following e-mail was sent to administrators of the Facebook page: "Shares that contain nudity, or any kind of graphic or sexually suggestive content, are not permitted on Facebook."

The decision to remove the photo has prompted scores of people to post their own pictures of same-sex couples kissing in protest -- dozens in the last few hours alone.
