Coinciding with World AIDS Day, gay rapper Deadlee plans to launch the first World Kiss Out Day, which asks LGBT couples to openly show their affection.

"Many people accuse lesbian, gay, and bisexual people of 'flaunting' their sexuality when they talk about their partner, hold hands, or kiss one another in public," Deadlee said in a statement Tuesday. "These are activities that heterosexual couples do all the time. Due to homophobic reactions, some lesbian, gay, and bisexual people are actually forced to hide their sexuality in public, not flaunt it."

The rapper also said that next year's event would move to October 1, the first day of GLBT History Month. This year it will be December 1, World AIDS Day.

"This one year, I think we can have both on the same day," he said. "The magnitude of the AIDS epidemic will not be diminished by a kiss. Observances and actions can exist on the same day." (The Advocate)
