Pop! Quiz: Would you participate in the Starbucks "Gay Kiss-In"?

Maybe it's just because I spend my days with my head dunked in the big gay media punchbowl, but it seems like every week there's a new endearingly rickety visibility campaign launched to improve our chances at getting marriage rights, or fight hate, or something.

And while I would love to think that some of these demonstrations work and make an impact, others unfortunately just don't have the scale or the juice to do anything.

So let's consider Same-Sex Kiss Day. On April 15 (tax day here in the States) gays, gay couples and open-minded straight folks of all shapes and sizes are asked to pop into a Starbucks with a companion of the same sex at one of four predetermined times (synchronize watches, people!) and share a quick kiss.

EDGEBoston has more on the campaign (including some of the usual hilarious/terrifying responses from the right), but I'm curious: Would you go out of your way to pop in for an overpriced latte and a peck?
