Kiss-in at the UM!

The University of Minnesota Twin Cities is to be blessed with a visit from Brother Jed on 16 September…and the Campus Atheists, Skeptics, and Humanists plan to be waiting for him with a special event:

As a counter protest to the preacher Brother Jed, we want to get as many people as we can to share a kiss with their significant other. Our goal is to get many same-sex couples, but all couples are encouraged to partake in the event. We want to show Brother Jed and the rest of the campus that we don't support the hatred we portrays and that all people deserve to be with the ones they love.

Meet on the Northrup Mall around noon (it will go on all day) and spread the love.

Who says Christianity doesn't have the power to inspire?
