Right, exactly. It's not as though the manager at that individual Timmy's called up the head office and was like "hey, there are snuggling queers here! can I kick them out?"
To become an owner of a franchised location of anything all you have to do is be able to pony up the money.
So now you've got people all up in arms on social networking sites calling to boycott all Tim Horton's locations, hold "kiss-ins" across the country, etc. Blah blah blah. It doesn't sound like a useful reaction to the situation.
And besides - I don't want to have to see ANYBODY kiss anybody anywhere any time. So the idea of a kiss-in kinda mortifies me...and it'll just make us all look like douchebags.
