Earlier this month, LUSH Cosmetics staff, customers, and supporters puckered up as part of a "Kiss & Tell" protest against DOMA. And they aim to keep telling.
On June 18, at exactly 11:38am, Lush on W. Sixth held a Kiss-In. Well, sadly we missed the actual kissing protest – held at 11:38 to commemorate the 1138 civil rights denied to same-sex couples wanting to marry – but we did get some shots of their corner rally held afterward.
Partnering up with Freedom to Marry, LUSH Cosmetics will act as campaign centers where people can come by and sign a postcard petition demanding the federal government to take action and overturn DOMA. Cards will be available through mid-July.
