Lesbian teens
kicked off bus for PDA

A teen lesbian couple may file a complaint with the Portland, Ore., department of transportation after being kicked off a bus for making a public display of affection. Maika Rich and Joselyn O'Neal, both 14, told KOMO-TV that on June 8 they were on a bus headed to the Sexual Minority Youth Recreation Center when a female passenger complained to the driver that they had been kissing. The driver told them to stop, calling them "sickos."

Rich said she gave O'Neal a hug because she was upset about the exchange, KOMO reports. At that point, the bus driver stopped the bus and ordered them off.

A transportation spokesperson said the driver's actions violated a policy to never eject an underage or vulnerable person from a bus. Authorities are currently investigating the incident. (The Advocate)
