Hotel guests were forced to leave a pool after they objected to two black women kissing.

The ordeal was filmed by a bystander who posted a clip on Instagram showing the guests leaving the pool area in Sacramento as other patrons chanted "shame".

They wrote: "A pack of white straight women in a cabana demanded that a queer black woman... stop kissing her girlfriend in the pool because 'there were children present!'.

"Of course there were many other (straight/white) couples in the pool with plenty of PDA, but they only insisted that only black queer women stop. And we know why.

"When confronted by bystanders, 'the white party' claimed there's no way they were racist because one of them was ‘Hispanic’. Like you can’t be both. Eventually, their whole party was literally shamed out of the pool."

In an interview with CBS Sacramento, Domonique Veasley, one of the women who was seen kissing, explained that the women objected to her actions because there were children in the area and went as far as calling security on her.

"My initial reaction for the children was ‘Oh yeah, and then I was like 'You are asking me to stop being me," she said.

"It would've been a beautiful moment for her to teach about love to her kids but instead she decided to sexualize two women. This is not okay anymore, it's 2021."

The women reacted badly to being asked to leave the pool area, with one sticking up her middle finger to the camera and another asking a person in the pool: "Do you have any children? Good because you'd be a f**king terrible Dad!"

She went on to point at those in the pool and said "piece of f**cking s***" before a man pointed out that there were "still kids here."

The incident comes during Pride Month, which is an opportunity for LGBTQ+ to celebrate their identities and raise awareness of the discrimination they still face.

Veasley said that she appreciated the other pool guests for sticking up for her right to show affection.

She said: "It gave me faith for the future and it showed me that it's going to take a long time, it's a long road, but it's a spark of faith."
