A FEMALE couple has expressed their shock at being evicted from a concert by a security guard for sharing a kiss.

Balga residents Freedom Bradbury and Meagan Bousfield said they could reach no conclusion other than they were the victims of discrimination while on a date at a Kelly Clarkson concert recently.

The pair told the Eastern Reporter that after they shared a kiss during a favourite song, they were tapped on the shoulder by a security guard and asked to leave.

Ms Bradbury said she went into a state of shock, but left the venue as asked, deciding not to let the incident ruin what she said had been a great evening.

After looking back and examining the incident, she could reach no other conclusion but discrimination.

"When was the last time you saw a man and woman escorted out of a venue by security for kissing in public," she said.

"I can definitively say that is something I have never witnessed."

VenuesWest chairman Graham Partridge said he was outraged to hear of the alleged discrimination and would closely at the matter.
