Hundreds of people defiantly locked lips in a mass “kiss-a-thon” after a hateful mob threatened a gay couple for kissing in a Columbian park. 

The peaceful protest was organised on social media in response to a viral video showing two gay men being forced from a park in Colombia’s capital city Bogotá by a group of angry bigots. 

The women can be heard shouting at the couple “in this neighbourhood, we don’t allow sex in the park, especially not in front of children”. 

One of the men asked “what sex” the mob was talking about as the pair only kissed, the BBC reported. 

The women insulted the couple with one saying they would “lynch” the pair if they didn’t leave. Another woman was filmed chasing after the men and appeared to try to hit them with a broomstick.
