Nationwide Kiss In Protest Planned for Saturday!!

— admin @ 2:00 pm

A gay “Great Nationwide Kiss-In” is planned for 15 August at 11 am at Union Square in San Francisco!
On July 27th Joshua Barry & his boyfriend Sebastion where physically thrown out of a wine bar on Geary called Internos. They were called faggots and hustled out of the bar. All they were doing was hugging and looking into each others eyes, they just wanted a drink before Showgirls *-this bar was made clear to be an anti gay zone- “kiss in” time ?
Writing at SitIn4Equality.net, blogger David Badash said: “I’ll be damned if someone — citizen, neighbor, or the police – thinks they can tell me I can’t hold my boyfriend’s hand while walking down the street, or kiss him in public… Enough is enough. It’s time we call these ‘peace officers’ out. It’s time we showed them love can’t be stopped. It’s time for a nationwide kiss-in.”
Kiss-ins have been organized in Athens, Ga. (College Avenue); Atlanta (Piedmont Park); Boston (Boston Common); Chicago (Oak Park Avenue and Lake Street in Oak Park); Cincinnati (5th and Vine); Denver; Edmonton, Alberta (Legislature); Erie, Pa. (courthouse); Fayetteville, Ark. (plaza near Town Center); Hot Springs, Ark.; Houston (Discovery Green); Iowa City (Donnelly’s Pub); Irvine, Calif. (Steelhead Brewery); Little Rock; Los Angeles; New York City (Times Square); Parkersburg, W. Va. (City Park); Philadelphia (Love Park); Phoenix (Capitol); Portland, Ore. (Pioneer Courthouse Square); Salt Lake City (Washington Square); San Diego (Manchester Grand Hyatt); San Francisco (Union Square); San Jose (City Hall); Santa Barbara (Pardall Road); Tulsa (621 E. 4th St.); and Washington, D.C. (National Mall between 3rd and 4th streets).
Tentative plans have been announced in 24 other locations from Anchorage to the Northern Mariana Islands to Toronto. For the latest information, see the kiss-in Facebook group at tinyurl.com/no8h7q.
