Gay rights activists
are calling for a string of "kiss-ins," a response to the
detention of gay couples by security guards in Texas and Utah
for kissing in public.
Kissing demonstrations
already took place earlier this month in front of
Mormon temples in Salt Lake City and San Diego to protest the
treatment of a gay couple detained by the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints for kissing on church property in
Salt Lake City. Now, bloggers David Badash of New York and
David Mailloux of Boston are calling on people to join in
"kiss-ins" planned across the country on August 15.
The Great Nationwide
Kiss-In will include demonstrations in at least seven
U.S. cities: Boston, New York, Houston, Portland, Ore., and
three California cities -- Irvine, San Diego, and San
Francisco.
