The Illinois Family Institute is warning families about an event taking place this Saturday.
The event -- called "The Great Nationwide Kiss-In" -- is being promoted by bloggers David Badash and David Mailloux. On their Facebook event page they claim that "any person anywhere should be able to kiss whomever they want, whenever they want." According to the Facebook page, the event is in protest to recent events in Texas and Utah where homosexual couples were allegedly detained or harassed by law enforcement for kissing in public. Laurie Higgins with the Illinois Family Institute says the event is being billed as a homosexual kiss-in, and participants plan to hold the event in the public square. Her organization is warning families to avoid known places in Chicago where the event will take place. "We're also urging that pro-family organizations find out if this event is taking place in cities near them, and that they would issue the same warning to families [regarding] what time the event will take place and where so that they can avoid this public spectacle," Higgins remarks. According to the Facebook page, the event will take place Saturday, August 15 at 2:00 p.m. (Eastern). A complete list of event locations can be found at AmericansForTruth.com.
