A same-sex couple has filed a lawsuit, accusing a Honolulu police officer of discrimination, assault and battery, and violation of their Fourth Amendment rights.
Courtney Wilson and her girlfriend, Taylor Guerrero, were vacationing on Oahu back in March.
According to the lawsuit, they held hands while shopping at a grocery store in Pupukea and, at one point, kissed.
They claim Honolulu police officer Bobby Harrison, who was off-duty but in his uniform, told them to "take it somewhere else."
They say he then threatened to have them thrown out of the store, and even encouraged the store manager to issue trespass warnings.
The lawsuit claims Harrison "forcefully seized" Wilson to prevent her from leaving the store as she called 911.
It claims Harrison also threw Guerrero to the ground, striking Wilson in the process, then placed both women in restraints.
The women were arrested and charged with assault against a law enforcement officer, though the charges were subsequently dismissed with prejudice.
"I really just want an example to be made, despite whatever happens," Wilson said. "I just think what he did was absolutely wrong, without a doubt. If this can help anybody in the future stand up for what's right."
The couple's attorney, Eric Seitz, tells KHON2 he asked for the store's surveillance video and was told it was missing.

Ah, that’s too bad.
The cop said “Take it somewhere else” and they feel they have been discriminated against?
Cops,and teachers,and parents,and many others have been saying that for years.
The homosexual activism has gone too far.

Discrimination suit. Gee I wonder where they learned that.
Ya think?
“The homosexual activism has gone too far.”
Oh, it’s barely even started.
Decades ago young were told to “take it someplace else” when kissing it up in public. Nothing new other than the new right to be offended.
LOL!
Normal people DON’T slobber all over each other in public.
Husband & I have been married 51 years; and any public
displays have been pretty much non-existent. - Here in
our area, in a nearby town; there was a fad where the
girls were in huge numbers pretending to be “gay”, going
in the restrooms at school, kissing, etc. - That just
all went “poof” when they got bored with being gay.
Great cartoon! The central element couldn’t be more correct - loud, brash, loud, obnoxious, (did I say loud?!).
The one on the left looks like a man to me.
Really?
If somebody told you it was a picture of a man wouldn't you say he looked like a woman?
I don’t know, I’m thinking...sandwich.
I have seen similar “couples” hold hands in a supermarket called “Sprouts”. Think Whole Foods but more expensive. I think they are trying to provoke just like the family parades or Boy or Girl Scouts they want changed. They want it their way or else.
Albeit a bit feminine, but yes.
ROFL!!!
The one on the right could clean up well.
Let’s ping an expert.
Funny!
