“Colbert Report” Lampoons Temple Square Kissing Incident
Show Features Derek Jones and Matt Aune

November 2009

A popular comedy show lampooned an incident that happened at Temple Square over the summer.

Derek Jones and Matt Aune, a gay couple, were both arrested in July after they were spotted kissing on Temple Square. The incident received wide media attention and triggered “kiss-ins” at LDS temples in Salt Lake City and San Diego.

Both men appeared Tuesday night on Comedy Central's “The Colbert Report” to talk about the incident.

In the same segment, two other gay men were filmed passionately kissing in front of the Salt Lake Temple, and two actors dressed up as Mormon missionaries kiss on a couch.
