A Gay Couple Who Were CNN’s First New Year’s Kiss Went Viral. They Continue to Spread Love.

LGBTQ NATION: It’s OK to love your child unconditionally whether you understand it or not," they said in a message to parents.

Jake Erikkson and Corin Christian went viral after CNN captured them smooching at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve. The kiss, the first to be aired on television that night, was also shown on multiple other networks and quickly spread joy through the queer community.

“CNN’s first shot after the ball drop appears to be an interracial gay kiss. The outrage will be hilarious,” Joe My God blogger Joe Jervis predicted shortly after the kiss aired. And, as expected, the usual suspects quickly started clutching their pearls.

But Erikkson and Christian haven’t let it faze them at all. Instead, they’re focused on the positives.

The men said they hoped their kiss had a bigger impact than a few seconds of air time allowed. They want to spread the love. » | Bil Browning | Thursday, January 4, 2024

It Doesn't Come Much Better Than This! : 'First Kiss' | Reupload

A screenshot taken from the video.
’First Kiss’ is an 84-minute-long video of two handsome Israelis kissing. The kiss is between the artists Idan Bitton and Alfredo Ferran Calle. While the camera is still, the kiss is in motion provoking the viewer to stay and watch. Idan and Alfredo do not interact with the viewer but offer a peek into their intimate moments of commitment. This long lasting, present and unapologetic kiss defines our current gay rights momentum. We are here, we love each other, and this is what it looks like.

Watch the kissathon here.
I don’t believe that gay kisses come much longer, more beautiful, more sensuous or more sensational than this! This is a wonderful ‘kissathon’ to surpass all ‘kissathons’! A must watch for anyone with an open mind. (An absolute turn-off for the closed-minded, the fossilized and the mummified!)

It is long, so I would recommend a cocktail or two to enjoy the sensual pleasure of viewing. A few snacks might go down well too. (Don’t forget that YouTube allows you to stop viewing at any time and return to where you left off, at your convenience.) Enjoy! – © Mark Alexander

It Doesn’t Get Much Better Than This!

A screenshot from the video.
If kissing is your thing, check out THIS video from Tel Aviv.
My regular visitors will probably have watched this ‘kissathon’ before; however, as it is very long, they might well not have watched it all the way through to the end. I have watched it all the way through now, but it took me a while to get to the end because it is 84 minutes long. It is well worth your time, however, since it is so good and it is hard to find anything comparable to it on the Internet, still less anything as good.

It is not possible to embed this video because of age restrictions, so it must be watched on YouTube itself. Do yourself a favour and click on this link to watch it. Fortunately, it can be watched in stages. YouTube will remember where you left off.

I’m sure you will be as delighted by this wonderful video as I have been. It is clean and in no way objectionable (unless one is prejudiced). Enjoy it and have fun! Viel Vergnügen! – Mark

The non plus ultra in Kissing : The Famous “First Kiss” in Tel Aviv

This above picture is a screenshot from the video.
Can kissing get any better than this? If it can, I’ve never seen it. I would wager that this is the finest kiss on the Web! Not just finest gay kiss, but finest kiss of all! If there is a more beautiful kiss than this on the Internet, I’d like to see it. This lengthy kiss—it’s 84 minutes long—just keeps on getting better and better, the longer you watch it.

Watch the ‘kissathon’ here. Because of age restrictions on YouTube, it cannot be embedded on blogs or other websites. Enjoy this wonderful and genuine expression of love and affection!

I have posted this ‘kissathon’ a few times before, because it is such a beautiful expression of gay love. Besides, the kissing lasts so long that I haven’t been able to find the time to view the video the whole way through yet; I’m still working on it! But it’s worth “working on” because it is such a stunning expression of two men’s love for each other.

I think that this must be the most beautiful video of gay men kissing on the Web! At least, I have never seen anything that comes even close to it. The two men are handsome. The kissing is genuine. The love these two men have for each other is palpable. And then the duration of the kissing is remarkable. Added to all that, the kissing is also decent. In my opinion, no reasonable person could object to this display of genuine love and affection. Anyone who does needs to get out from under that rock! Enjoy this wonderful display of love and affection! Click here to watch it. In good YouTube fashion, it should take you to where you left off the last time. – Mark
