FOF #2949 – Making Out with Strangers

A kiss is just a kiss: didn’t you know we were in those famous ACT-UP ads in the 90s dressed up as Spider Man doing the upside down kiss? That’s right, SAM RAIMI stole that move from us. Illustration: Fausto Fernós.

While there are a lot of similarities between the AIDS crisis of the late 80s and today’s Covid pandemic, one thing that’s been hard for a lot of people is not being able to meet up for a little hanky panky, not even get a little kiss.

Well, pucker up lovers, cause that’s all about to change.

Health experts are saying that at this point in the pandemic, a kiss is once again just a kiss, and like ACT-UP said in the 80s, greed and indifference are the real killers.

Today we’re taking a look at new health guidelines that are saying if you’ve had your covid shots, it’s probably ok to kiss and hook up with strangers.
