Members of the Penn State Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Ally Student Alliance organized a public display of affection yesterday at three locations to make a point -- that Valentine's Day is a holiday for couples that aren't heterosexual, too.

The annual KissOut bgan in 2005 with an event organized by an LGBTA group, Allies, in which couples kissed on the steps of Old Main. Yesterday there were three KissOut minutes, one at the HUB-Robeson center, on eon a College Avenue sidewalk near the Allen Street Gate and the third at Redifer Commons.

These photo were first pulished in The Daily Collegian. Read more about yesterday's event in this story by Danae Blasso.
