100 Pics of Bears, Leather Men and Go-Go Boys Kissing for Valentine's

There was a time that to find a photo of two men kissing passionately would be an Earth-shattering event. The outrage and condemnation would rain down like a firestorm. By continuing to publish images men freely loving men we normalize the idea of sexual and romantic affection between two people of the same sex. So really, this gallery is not only a celebration of Valentine's sweetness and love, it's a public service. So thank you for your participation in looking at it. Each slide. Maybe three times.

We would be nothing without our photo contributors and we would pasionately kiss each of them, but that might cause our Human Resources person to flip out. So instead, the next best thing to a kiss and prolonged hug -- a link.
