Italian Kiss-In

Thank you fellow gays of Italy! A few weeks ago two guys were arrested for kissing each other on Via San Giovani in front of the Colosseum in Rome. Gay Italians came in the hundreds the other day for a mass kiss-in at Rome's famed Colosseum Thursday to protest the arrest.

If convicted the pair could be sentenced up to two years in prison. The couple had just left one of the number of gay clubs near the Colosseum last Saturday when they exchanged a kiss on Via San Giovani in front of the ruins. They were observed by a police officer and arrested.

The poopie heads of the police department, despite mounting pressure, said today that they were not going to drop "lewd conduct" charges against the two men.
