Queer Blog Kiss Pope Barcelona

For those of you who care, the Pope will be visiting Barcelona on the 7th of November. Now we generally don’t get involved in causes or politics, sticking instead to tourism and promotion, however this event is something we think deserves attention.

In response for the Pope’s vehement anti-gay stance, a group know as “Queer Kissing Flashmob”, will hold a mass kiss-in when the pope leaves the cathedral on the 7th of November. How ever will he contain himself!

For those of you who will be in Barcelona and what to show your support for your right to kiss whoever you want, then visit the official Facebook event page or the official blog. See you on the 7th of November.. and bring your lip balm!
