Kiss-In

50 years later, what should have been recognized as a Guinness world record at the first Pride parade reminds us of the powerful act of being out.

The soundtrack to the protest reportedly included gay icons like Diana Ross and Donna Summer. And, of course, plenty of same-sex kissing in the grocery aisles.

Equality House, located across the street from the Westboro Baptist Church compound, home to anti-gay extremists famous for their “Gods Hate Fags” protests, celebrated its second anniversary over the weekend with one big smooch.

ROSEVILLE, Calif. — Hundreds of gay rights advocates staged a “kiss in” and peaceful protest at a Califonria mall on Saturday where just one week earlier, a gay couple said they were ejected for holding hands and kissing each other.

Thousands of same-sex couples across the country on Friday gathered outside Chick-fil-A restaurants for a “kiss-in,” just two days after the company reportedly set a sales record when customers flocked to the restaurants to show support for the fast-food chain president’s opposition to gay marriage.
