''They targeted us. We weren't doing anything inappropriate or illegal, or anything most people would consider inappropriate for any other couple.''

From the Associated Press:
Matt Aune said he and his partner, Derek Jones, were walking home from a concert nearby on Thursday night [July 9], cutting through the plaza near the Salt Lake City Mormon temple. [Aune gave Jones] a hug and kiss and that the two were then approached by a security guard, who asked them to leave, telling them they were being inappropriate and that public displays of affection aren't allowed on the property... other guards arrived and the men were handcuffed.
