It’s not something I’d ever imagine experiencing, honestly.”MacIvor added that the venue’s manager “apologized profusely” after the pair were escorted to them by the employee in question, however, the damage was already done. Yesterday evening, Jack White took to Instagram to address the matter directly. Captioning a photo of two women kissing at a Beatles concert in 1964, White said: “This is one of my favorite photos because of how beautiful the situation is; they are hiding in plain sight. Its 2018 now and two people expressing affection shouldn’t have to hide.”
White went on to say that the news that two women were prevented from kissing at one of his concerts “really disappointed” him, and that during the next show in Calgary he dedicated his song “Love Interruption” to those women and encouraged everyone in the crowd to kiss their loved ones. White finished the post by saying, “Let’s promote love and acceptance wherever and whenever we can.”photo: Jack White (Teresa Sedó / CC BY-SA 2.0)– CelebrityAccess
