지난 일요일에 있었던 올랜도 나이트클럽 총기난사는 LGBT 커뮤니티에 큰 충격이었다. 세계 곳곳에서 이번 사건을 깊이 애도하고 있지만 세상을 떠난 희생자 49명에 대한 슬픔은 날이 갈수록 더 절실하다.
결혼 평등이 미국서 합법화된 지 1년이 지난 현재에도 동성애 혐오가 사라지지 않았다는 증명이라도 하는 듯, 두 남자가 키스하는 모습에 격분한 오마르 마틴은 자기의 분노를 총으로 터뜨렸다.
허프포스트 보이스의 노아 미켈슨은 "절망적이다. 두렵다. 우린 애도한다."라며 "그러나 우린 혼자가 아니다. 우리 목소리가 들리게, 우리 모습을 인식하게, 우리를 존중하게, 또 우리의 자유를 쟁취하기 위해 투쟁은 계속돼야 한다."고 말했다.
허프포스트는 이런 정신을 기리기 위해 동성 파트너(또는 가장 '핫'하거나 착하거나 스마트하다고 생각하는 대상)와 함께 찍은 가장 마음에 드는 사진을 트위터 해시태그 #KeepKissing으로 공유해 달라고 독자들에게 부탁했다. 허프포스트는 LGBT 커뮤니티가 증오에 맞서 당당히 설 수 있길 바란다.
아래는 가장 멋진 40개의 키스 장면이다.
