Video: National Kiss In - the time is NOW

Have you ever heard of a heterosexual couple being arrested for kissing?

Me either!

Last christmas a lesbian couple was arrested in a San Antonio Mall for kissing. A mall spokeswoman stated kissing is inappropriate and anyone caught doing so would be asked to leave. Of course we are supposed to beleive not one single heterosexual couple kissed in that mall during the christmas holidays! rrrrrrriiiiiggghhhhhtttttt

Recently in El Paso a group of men were asked to leave a mexican food restaurant because of a peck on the cheek. The were told to 'stop that faggot stuff'. A police officer told them they could be arrested for it.

Recently in Salt Lake City a couple was detained and harassed for a kiss on the cheek.

It's time for a NATIONAL KISS IN.

Salt Lake City Kissing Protest

As we heard recently two gay men were assaulted by Mormon security, detained and issued citations by the Salt Lake city police simply because of a peck on the cheek.

Of course we all know about Mormon bigotry and hypocrisy all to well.

But there is an interesting story behind the property in question.

The property is the Salt Lake City Main Street Plaza. It is not fenced since the city retains public easement right of way.

But the fact the property even belongs to the church is appauling.

Back when the property was sold to the church the majority of Salt Lake city council members were mormons. In fact, the only two city council members who were not mormons voted against it.

Speaking of voting, it's a bit ironic that the mormons obtained this property without the vote of the citizens in Salt Lake city.

The mormons who feel so strongly that the people should vote on marriage rights obviously don't feel it's important for people to vote on property rights.

Interesting how their opinion changes when it is in there benefit huh?

Due to this whole fiasco citizens have been holding "kiss-ins" in the area.
