The Great Nationwide Kiss-In

This video was part of The Great Nationwide Kiss-In (a campaign organized by David Badash, David Mailloux and Willow Witte) has gone viral, spreading to more than 25 cities and more than 1,200 members on Facebook. The campaign is simple: in response to a recent wave of incidents where police or law enforcement officers harassed or arrested LGBT people for kissing, folks are coming together across the country with their loved ones, friends, etc., to show that kissing is not illegal. Rather, it's an expression of love and affection that never merits criminalization.

The group has launched a video today that shows just how powerful a simple kiss can be. Straight, gay, black, white, young, old...it doesn't matter. The Great Nationwide Kiss-In group's Facebook page can be found here.
