Via Towleroad is information on the kiss-in held in Paris today. Confronted with threats of Christianist violence, many went to the relocated site of the event. Here are some highlights:*
"The "kiss-in" had originally been planned to take place in front of Notre Dame Cathedral but Christian Fundamentalist websites called in to "defend their faith against this provocation" using 'aids bags', 'sodomites' and other homophobic insults. The websites called for a violent response so the organizers decided to change the location to place Saint Michel in the nearby Latin Quarter, after the police strongly encouraged it, saying they could not protect them in case of trouble. The kiss in was held peacefully at St-Michel but some gays went to Notre Dame anyway and witnesses are saying 200 Christian activists were expecting them, and after they started kissing, they were attacked with motorbike helmets and kicked.

Isn't it amazing how the self-styled "true Christians" can always be identified by their hate and lack of love for others. WWJD?
