A gay couple were kicked out of a Nelson nightclub after they shared a kiss on the dance floor.
The two men, who did not want to be identified, were at Malbas Bar on Saturday night when a bouncer told them to leave.
Their friend Letizia Beyer-Rieger says they were shocked when approached by security staff.
"We were having a dance, doing our own thing, then one of them kissed the other. As soon as that happened the bouncer came over, went nuts and said 'sorry you're not welcome here, you have to leave'. When we got to the door we asked why we were getting kicked out and he told us "Malbas isn't a gay bar, go find somewhere else".
Bar general manager Anja Nicholson apologised for the incident on the bar's Facebook page but was unable to be contacted today.
