A record breaking kiss for LGBT rights

On August 11, an attempt was made by Matty Daley and Bobby Canciello to break the world record for the longest kiss. The two men began the mulit-hour kiss yesterday as part of their “Our Lips Are Sealed” campaign to fight homophobia.

The New Jersey college students have big hopes for their long kiss. The two, who are not a couple, say that the kiss campaign is “about fighting hegemonic norms.” If they succeed, it will be the first gay kiss to break a record in Guinness World Record history.

Daley and Canciello came up with the idea while watching an episode of MTV’s “Fantasy Factor” where the world’s longest skateboard was constructed. In an interview with Equaltopia blog, the pair said they were inspired by the attention the record could bring to LGBT issues. Matty said, “Why break a record if it doesn’t mean something? And to us, this means so much.”
