The Great Nationwide Kiss-In

August 15th @ 2:00 pm EDT (11:00 am PDT)

National Kiss-In

Okay, you ask, but what does this mean? What is a Kiss-In?

Well, it’s quite simple. On the suggested date and time, in a public place – whether it’s a park or plaza or popular thoroughfare in your city or town – you’ll bring your husband or wife or partner or boyfriend or girlfriend or good friend, and at 2 p.m., you’ll kiss. It’s one of the simplest things in the world to do!

Why, you ask? Why are you doing this?

After incidents in San Antonio, TX, El Paso, TX and Salt Lake City, UT – where different gay and lesbian couples were harassed or detained by law enforcement or other people for the simple act of kissing in a public place – we need to make a strong statement to everyone everywhere: kissing is not a bad thing, nor has it ever been. It’s not vulgar or inappropriate. It’s a sign of affection that is as old as time itself. And it’s a beautiful thing that we share with our loved ones every single day.

Hi there. I’m David, one of the national coordinators for the Great Nationwide Kiss-In who has been working with David Badash on this since day one. The AP never actually spoke with us about the event, and published the wrong website address. Would you please change your blog to reflect the correct website address? It’s

While the folks from Sit In 4 Equality are planning a Kiss-In event in San Diego, and we appreciate that sincerely, it’s still not our website.

Thanks so much.
