The Great Nationwide Kiss-In
Don’t you just love seeing lovebirds share a smooch on the bus or in the checkout at the grocery store? We do! Doesn’t it fill you up with joy to see joy manifest, to witness living proof that we all share a common purpose in this life? Cuz without love, life can feel pretty null and void.
Unfortunately, not everyone sees it this way. Some folks say this simple trinket of affection should be left at home, locked away in a curio cabinet with the wedding China—particularly if you happen to be a boy kissing a boy or a gal smooching another gal. In recent months, multiple gay and lesbian couples have been harassed, and even arrested, for such simple public displays of affection. Can you imagine, being arrested just for locking lips with the one you love?
We would like to take this opportunity to issue our own big public display of affection, with muchos besos to the organizers of the Great Nationwide Kiss-In—bloggers David Badash and David Mailloux, and Willow Witte, cofounder of Join the Impact. Thanks to the hard work of this dedicated threesome, gay and straight couples will publicly pucker up in a salute to love and freedom in more than 40 cities—from San Francisco to Toronto to Normal, IL—this Saturday, August 15 at 2pm EDT (11am PST). Because seriously, a kiss is just a kiss; a sweet affirmation of affection, peace and love. And couldn’t we all use just a little more of that?
Note: This video is the group’s third promo film. You can see the first two here (we have a cameo!) and here. To find the kiss-in nearest you, please click here. xoxo
