A lesbian couple who were tossed out of a North Carolina mall for being so bold as to kiss and hug in public view met with management to listen to an apology.

CNN reports the apparent act of bigotry occurred Saturday, when a security guard told the couple “nobody wants to see that here.”

The president of the mall management company said his security guards will be participating in seemingly long-overdue sensitivity training.
