A New Gayness World Record

Queering the Guinness Book of World Records: at 33 hours, Matty and Bobby have achieved the world's longest kiss.
BTW -- they "...are 'friends' and not a couple, and say they did it to raise awareness about homophobia and increase acceptance of LGBT people." *

Six weeks ago, link to a pop up filled three paragraph site, a record that could be broken in well, 35 hours. Nothing but a stunt that sort of makes the gay community look silly.

That's nothing. It would only take 3 minutes 43 seconds to beat the record for running a mile!

Because they were two people sharing a same-sex kiss for a ridiculously long time! And all gay people are totally responsible for anything anyone who is gay or might be gay does! That is how it works!
You think, by now, we would realize that, sometimes, a kiss is just a kiss, even if it is 35 hours long.

I agree with Madamina. There is no reason why the gay community should be held to higher standards of seriousness than the straight community is. Silliness is a part (not the most important part, but still a part) of the common heritage of humanity.

There was a time, not very long ago, where this kind of stunt would have been impossible. The news media would have refused to cover it. Guinness would have ignored it as an illegitimate attempt. It would be as if the gay kiss never happened.

This made my day yesterday. I tuned in a couple of hours before they stopped and then again just after they stopped. Maybe that's a bit of what made it seem more real and less silly to me. There's something about watching people try to break a world record live that's pretty engaging. Moreover, at a time when the right to marriage equality is being contested at the federal level and the religious right is pulling out all the stop to assert that lgbt relationships aren't "real," the symbolic aspect of this particular record couldn't be more appropriate.

And the expanded lesson is that people should start taking action rather than sitting on their asses complaining about how they don't have rights waiting for someone else to do it for them (guilty as charged).
I think is maybe THE most important message for the gay/lesbian/trans/queer people and their allies right now.
And though it might seem...well... silly... for this to be the example, hey look we're talking about it.

What I meant was this, and I think it is right along the lines of what threeway said. It just takes a second to paint a whole group with the same broad brush.
My first thought when I saw that, was "heh...cool", then the more I saw, it just started looking like a stunt from a couple of college kids. I'm not sure what kind of landmark or victory the gay community would consider this.
Would we even be discussing this if it was a hetero couple that broke the record? And, what's to stop some conservative nutjobs from putting up a hetero coupla virgins to do the same, and use it for PR? The gay folks I know would probably smile and roll their eyes at this at the same time.
There are things that shed a bad light on any group. I just feel this is not really that noteworthy, doesnt really do anything to further understanding and acceptance of the gay community, and is just sort of an ego-centric thing.

I think that's kind of the point. That the Guiness people, people who exist primarily to sell beer, not to provide a platform for gay rights activism, sees a gay kiss as acceptable for consideration seems like a notable milestone in casual acceptance.

I actually loved this. I'm proud to say that they're students at my alma mater.
It's a fun story and the positive press that's come of it means more than the actual event, in my eyes. I'm happy for them for breaking the record, and for the fact that everything I've seen written about it has been pro-kiss. Now there's a gay kiss in the Guinness Book of World Records!

I can see how this would fail to shed unequivocally GOOD light on a group or cause. But I don't see what in the world it could hurt. And it is nice to see gays doing gay things (like kissing other gays) in the Guinness records, it is actually one of the more normal things a gay could do to try and stand out. The comparison to an act of terrorism makes me laugh out loud. In a world where such a comparison could be taken seriously, this pointless just-for-fun kiss becomes more important, not less.

Gays have been hosting "gay kiss-ins" (aka "gass kiss-offs") for years, as a form of protest/demonstration. Two of the most recent have been held in Torre del Lago and Brussels.
Gay Kiss-in Protests Held in More Than 40 Cities Across America (August 2009).
This past May there was a Global Gay Kiss-In held in cities around the world.

Kiss-ins are a fine tradition in the glbt community - participated in at least one; it was in a mall in Western Mass in the late 80s or early 90s. They were scary and fun!

Dear straight community:
Please stop telling us gays how silly we are. It's really marginalizing. I'm sorry if we look cute to you, or seem like zoo animals. We are not. If you continue to view us this way, it is your fault. These boys are not kissing to amuse you: they are kissing because the history books, when they mention gays at all, tend to talk about how we were denied rights or arrested or murdered. Hell, the newspapers tend to talk about how we are currently being denied rights or arrested and murdered.
If you don't think this is a step toward equality, that's probably because you've always been able to kiss whoever you want without repercussions. Your privilege is showing.
Sincerely,
A gay guy who is pretty pleased with this new record

Breaking a world record is hard work. It is not something to be undertaken lightly. It doesn't necessarily require skill, but it does take fortitude and perseverance in buckets. Something that requires physical involvement and coordination, involving a tactile rapport with someone else, for 33 hours... that is a very serious achievement. Regardless of the political point, regardless of the genders, regardless of whether or not the record makes it into print (and there are many more Guinness World Record categories than there are spaces in the book), these guys should be applauded.
And now my anecdote.
Quite a few years back (in the centuries after the Great Cataclysm but before I met my wife) when I was dating, I found myself in a bar sat next to a charming and attractive young lady, and after some smalltalk that seemed to be going in altogether the right direction it emerged that we were both former Guinness World record holders. And after some diplomatic I'll-tell-you-mine-if-you-tell-me-yours it was decided that she would reveal hers first.
"Longest underwater kiss," she said. "It was shown on BBC1. What was yours?"
I mumbled something.
"What?"
Mumblemumblemungeonsmagons.
"Louder."
I sighed, knowing all was lost. "I played Dungeons & Dragons for eighty-four hours."

So far as I've observed, there are exactly three kinds of world records:
1. No skill, all luck (tallest person, shortest person, largest pumpkin)
2. All skill, no luck (running, jumping, video games, speed reading)
3. No skill, no luck, massive desire to win a world record
Last time I looked at a Guiness book, it had approximately equal shares of the three types listed. But #3 gets the most attention when people talk about world records (outside of a sports context).
It's possible to argue that if people see this as "silly," it's more of a victory. Two straight people doing this would be seen as silly.

i remember being a queer nerdy kid in the south. i would finish all my school work and stare at the other kids that somehow needed three times the amount of time i did to finish. there was nothing to do in the classroom. one of the few distractions we were allowed was the guinness book of world records. it would have done my heart good to see longest kiss held by two men. i would have felt a little less lonely.
i guess i can see how it seems less important now, with all the gay characters on tv and equality marches and ellen and the internet. queer kids these days have a lot of places to look to see someone living their life how they see fit instead of how family, church, and country tell you to. even still, every step - whether it be into silliness or seriousness - gives us all one more step out of the closet.
who cares if it's ego-centric? who cares if you think it doesn't help anyone? two gay college students wanted to break a kissing record and instead of being told they can't or worrying about getting the shit kicked out of them - they filmed it live and took the record.

who cares if it's ego-centric? who cares if you think it doesn't help anyone? two gay college students wanted to break a kissing record and instead of being told they can't or worrying about getting the shit kicked out of them - they filmed it live and took the record.

I would have just fallen asleep with my tongue in the other person's mouth. Gross.
Don't do this, you will end up slapped *SO* hard. Trust me, I know.
in my defense, I told her I was exhausted before we even started

Would we even be discussing this if it was a hetero couple that broke the record?
Wouldn't it be great if it were so ordinary that noone even understood what the big deal was?
