If you’re in the Boston area today, and are in need of a mid-afternoon, same-sex activity, wander over to Boston Common and partake in the Great National Kiss-In at 2pm. From their Facebook Group:
After recent incidents in El Paso, TX and Salt Lake City, UT – where two different gay couples were harassed or detained by law enforcement or other people for the simple act of kissing in a public place – we need to make a strong statement to everyone everywhere: kissing is not a bad thing, nor has it ever been. It’s not vulgar or inappropriate. It’s a sign of affection that is as old as time itself. It’s a beautiful thing that we share with our loved ones every single day.
Since there’s no Providence Kiss-In, I guess I’ll give out kisses to interested parties during kickball today at the Dexter training ground. I’m the little fellow with the big, orange epaulets and soft, pillowy lips.

In which we learn how and when a kiss can be deadly.
I wonder what’s so threatening about a kiss?
