Sit-ins are so outdated. Yale students who attended Anthony Esolen’s “The Person as a Gift” speech participated in a Kiss-In, where homosexual and straight couples stood up in the middle of the lecture and began snogging passionately to the tune of “I’m Coming Out”. Esolen, a Princeton alum and English professor at Providence College, wrote and published an extensive, ten-part treatise against gay marriage, and was asked to deliver a speech during Yale’s “True Love Week”, which is meant to counteract the casual hook-up culture supposedly propagated by Yale’s Sex Week. Homosexual students were naturally offended and tested out a new form of non-violent protesting. Here’s to hoping that Kiss-Ins become popular nation-wide, because who knew it could be so much fun to protest?
