SAN JOSE, Costa Rica – Almost 200 people protested Saturday night at the historic restaurant Chelles in the Costa Rican capital to show support for the lesbian couple ejected from the diner for kissing.

Matt Levin of Ticotimes.net reported that activists carried signs stating “Kiss customers goodbye Chelles” and shouted “Ser diferente no es indecente” (“To be different is not indecent”).

A group called Beso Diverso (Diverse Kiss) organized the protest.
