Second 'kiss-in' planned for plaza

Protesters plan to hold a second "kiss-in" near the Salt Lake Temple on Sunday to show support for two gay men who were detained and cited on Main Street Plaza.

The protest will be held at noon at Main Street Plaza, according to postings on Facebook and Twitter.

About 100 people attended a similar protest last Sunday.

The rally will be a show of support for Salt Lake City resident Derek Jones and his partner, Matthew Aune, who were detained by LDS Church security guards and cited for trespassing last week when the couple walked through the plaza, holding hands and stopping for a kiss on the cheek.
