Talk:Kiss-in

Why a redirect?

Why is this redirect set up this way? I was trying to research the protest against Proposition 8 support by the LDS church in which a kissing same-sex couple was thrown off of the section of Main Street running past the temple, and I don't think this kiss-in was related to a Queer Nation protest, but could be wrong.--Bhuck (talk) 13:51, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This might also be a useful source for an article on kiss-ins.--Bhuck (talk) 08:33, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, i think it should be a separate article as it's a method of protest used by more than one group, although Queer Nation may well have been the first to use it.

I only did a quick newspaper search, but I've found newspaper reporting on "Kiss-ins" as a form of non-violent protest going back to 1960s. ACT-UP, which was formed prior to Queer Nation, used kiss-ins as protest/awareness of the US government's HIV/AIDS inadequate response. But, there are also instances of kiss-in being used in the UK prior to the formation of ACT-UP, and in response to homophobia.

This is a form of non-violent protest, used throughout the decades by multiple groups and organizations, and should be its own page. Koziarke (talk) 16:23, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
