Sera, of Guildford, Surrey said: “When I saw the explanation I couldn’t believe my eyes.

"Two women in love, resting foreheads together is romantic — not sexual.”

She accused the social media giant of “silencing LGBTQ voices”.

Facebook told them the ban was due to dance moves in the clip but when they filmed the same moves with a man and woman, it passed.

A Facebook spokesman said: "The ad was originally rejected because it included explicit dancing and was accepted after additional review. 

"The ad would not have been rejected for including images of same-sex couples because that content is of course allowed under our policies and can be found in advertising across the platform."
