After two gay men were ejected for kissing from the John Snow pub in Soho, central London, on 13 April, gay rights activists organised a mass “kiss-in” outside the pub two days later. Inspired by the kiss-in, Lauren Beamen threatened to call a mass feed-in at the King William IV pub in Hampstead, north London, after being ejected on 16 April for breastfeeding her seven-month-old baby.
