 If you love kissing people too, stop by Fountain Square 2-3 p.m. Saturday for the Nationwide Kiss-In. What is the Nationwide Kiss-In? According to its Web site, the Kiss-In is a response “to a recent wave of incidents where police or law enforcement officers harassed or arrested LGBT people for kissing.” If you want to let people know that you think kissing isn’t a crime, come with a loved one (or no one) to spread some love and affection. And this isn’t just for members of the LGBT community, it’s for everyone. If you don’t like physical contact or PDA, you don’t have to kiss anyone. You can just stand there. Or you can hold someone’s hand, give a hug, stare longingly into someone’s eyes, hook up with a stranger, wear a T-shirt with a clever phrase about kissing, play a musical instrument — just do whatever you want to spread some good vibes and support the message of equality. This event is brought to you by Cincinnati Guerrilla Queer Bar and Impact Cincinnati.
