Peter Tatchell of Outrage!
|
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of queer rights group OutRage!, there will be a re-enactment of the OutRage! Kiss-In of two decades ago.
Originally staged to protest against the arrest of same-sex couples for kissing and cuddling, the Kiss-In led to the Metropolitan Police into ceasing to arrest LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) couples for displays of affection.
This time the Kiss-In is focussed on demanding freedom and human rights for LGBT people worldwide, especially in countries like Jamaica, Iran, Uganda, Malawi, Nigeria, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Hundreds of couples are hoped to attend.
Kiss-in for Global Queer Freedom, 2pm Sunday May 9, Piccadilly Circus, London.
