Local LGBTQ activists are considering staging a kissing protest outside the Dupont Circle Shake Shack restaurant following the report that as many as four or five Shake Shack employees assaulted a gay man at the restaurant on Aug.
17 after he and his male partner kissed each other while waiting for their food order. D.C. police and the Office of the U.S.
Attorney say they are continuing to investigate the incident as a suspected hate crime, but they have declined to say when or if they plan to make one or more arrests for an assault captured on video and witnessed by at least several Shake Shack customers.
Joey Minervini, one of the activists planning a possible protest, told the Washington Blade he staged his own one-person protest on Aug.
