Great Nationwide Kiss-In for Gay Marriage Saturday

The Great Nationwide Kiss-In, an event created in response to a spate of anti-gay incidents that arose out of gay men being publicly affectionate, takes place this Saturday, August 15th. Activists across the country have signed-on to take part, check out this Facebook action page for times and locations in your town. Why, you ask? Why are you doing this?
