This past Monday a local queer/trans girl was physically assaulted in broad daylight at the corner of Duluth & St. Laurent. She was blind-sided by a punch in the nose that was hard enough to knock her off her feet and draw blood. The only assumed reason is her gender-variance/perceived queerness! In an effort to make herself, and all other queer/trans folk in this city feel safe in the streets again she is calling for a kiss-in to happen at that exact corner at that exact time (3:00pm) on Monday, July 2nd, 2007. Queer & Queer-Positive folks are being asked to show up with a partner (or two or three) in tow to kiss when the clock strikes 3:15. Your support is appreciated!
ETA: Please note that you do NOT have to kiss at this event! Even if you don't intend to kiss, your attendance and solidarity will be very much appreciated!
