Facebook Users Go Gay For A Day

In response to the criminalisation of gay sex in India last week, Facebook users are going gay for a day.

The #GayForADay campaign asks users to change their profile photo to a picture of them kissing the same gender.

Last week, India’s Supreme Court overturned a lower courts ruling that struck down the country’s sodomy laws.

In protest to this ruling, Facebook users have created a movement called #GayForADay. The group has attracted over 5000 participants, who will change their profile picture to one of them kissing an individual of the same gender.

Tanmay Sahay, the event’s creator posted,

“We wish for ‘Gay For A Day’ to be a forum for exchange of love, support and more importantly ideas and information.”

Images of people posing with the same gender are already coming in on Facebook.

The hashtag #GayForADay is migrating to Twitter too:
