The Arcigay National Council, like every year, chooses to dedicate its February 14th, Valentine's Day, event to the theme of couples and homosexual love.
In this sense, he launches for the day of February 14, 2009 in all cities a demonstration entitled CROSSING KISSES – KISSES AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT.
The event aims to bring visibility to a theme that has always been important for Arcigay, inviting all our members to publicly reaffirm their presence within society as citizens of this country through the symbolic gesture of a kiss.
The initiatives will take place at the most visible points of life in every city: street intersections.
These initiatives are intended to be a way to reiterate that, despite the changed political conditions, the issue of the rights of lesbian and gay couples is always fundamental for us.
